Hi guys - I'm doing a very limited run of USA Charvel custom shop guitars that will be true to the version pictured below. Each guitar will include a custom leather binder with pictures taken during the guitars construction and a copy of the build sheet. They will be hand numbered and signed by Charvel/Jackson custom shop master builder, Mike Shannon. Mike is also the guy who built the original guitar, pictured below. If any of you guys are interested in owning one of these, let me know!

send me info!

 

[Gresh]

I'm only interested if it comes with a pair of those pants as well!!!!

Please PM me some specifics...thanks Matt

 

[Ozzdoc]

PM for the specs, please.

 

[hippietim]

Matt - this sounds awesome!!!

 

[moro]

The specs say that it's going to be a three way switch. Is this correct? The middle pickup isn't wired up, if the spec is correct.

And I'm afraid to ask, but any idea on price? Thanks.

There is a spec sheet link above in Matts original post, download the PDF, it tells you all about the guitar specs, just no Price.. hope this helps

 

[kelmaur]

yes send me more info as well..

We're still tweaking the specs. It probably has a 5 way switch (if anyone has info about this, let me know!) and the spec list calls for black pickup rings, but there will be no rings as the guitar has a pickguard on it.

I have pricing now, so if you're interested, let me know!

I appreciate any input on the specs! I could also use an original copy of the Carvin ad pictured above. I'd like to include a copy of it along with each guitar, and if possible I'm going to try and get Steve to sign each of the ads.

PM me with pricing/specifics anytime - always like the Green Meanie

Wayne should know the specs as he's already done a reissue.

 

[mattsmusic]

I'm pretty sure Mike Shannon at Jackson/Charvel knows the specs, especially since he built the original guitar.

 

[Rich]

Maybe you should have him tweak your quote sheet then

 

[mattsmusic]

In Shannon's own words "Beats me, I was smoking a lot of pot back then".

Seriously, we'll get this as true to the original as possible. Right now the only thing in question is the selector switch, 3 way or 5 way. Unless someone knows for sure we're probably going with a 5 way.

 

[Rich]

You'll have to use a regular screwdriver to carve the lions claw then

Ibanez always claimed Dimarzio came up with the 5 way split coil wiring scheme for them when they were designing the JEM. Steve might know for sure though, he never smoked the stuff.

 

[mattsmusic]

If someone would like to ask Steve, that would be great.

 

[gmeanie]

Wayne isn't making the neck pocket right I can tell you that much.
His is 2 1/4" when fender standards is 2 3/16" which I think would have been used back then. And some of the old picks show it with no lion claw.

Wayne should know the specs as he's already done a reissue.

 

[jim777]

Jackson/Charvel know what their neck pocket specs are; this isn't a Fender. My understanding is that Charvel has always used a 2 1/4 neck pocket.
No more conversation here please. If you're interested in one of the remaining slots please contact Matt for availability.
