Re: Charvel becoming a guitar company for the elite?

Easton is out except a couple of used ones that arent what I want. (Standard trem) Ill try the other tho..

Yeah, I told them they were nuts. $1800. That is even their (discounted) price.. Told them I could get the same axe with AMS for $569.

Take a GOOOD look at where I am, bro. No UK or USA schtick here, I´m as mainland Europe as it gets

Just do what I do: Order from Kevin Easton at www.eastonguitars.com

Tell him Zerb from the JCF sent ya

Then you get a GREAT USA price, plus a bit of shipping, plus customs. In Germany with the total of 20% extra I have to pay for Customs I still end up about 20% off USA list (which btw is about 20% less than most european MSRPs), which is an unbelievable deal considering how inflated Gear prices are over here (BTW, I´ve never bought a single axe new here in Europe, too expensive )

I noticed your location after I already posted...

Thanks for the info man, I will definately check out that link.

Thanks!...

Those original San Dimas (Azusa?) guitars had great necks that were a nice rounded C.
When they started cranking out those Charvel/Jackson imports in the late 80's is when they started using the flatter/thinner necks. Ewww! What a mistake. At least Jackson USA held their ground with the better necks.

Yep, San Dimas (P.O. Box) = Asuza (Physical)

Actually, there were 3 profiles. One was a pretty thick V, which was actually very similar to the V-Profile on soma Charvel Acoustics such as the ATX. The Rounded C you speak of is similar to todays Soloist profile, aand ther was a wide C like my Charvel Reissue. Those are the Strathead profiles, the pointies were a bit different, but here I have to pass

They must be on crack, man. And pretty good crack at that. The newer charvel imports LISTED at under 800 bucks
