  • Thanksgiving weekend build...

    Since I didn't pick up any new toys this Black Friday or the weekend that followed it, I finally managed to work on a couple of projects I've been meaning to tackle.

    I about got this one done.....I had every part on-hand and didn't need to buy anything more, only thing missing was the freetime! The neck is from an 80's Charvel "Model" series I had and destroyed at one point. The Jackson/Floyd is from that same guitar. The body is from a USA So-Cal Style 2 Charvel. I bought it as soon as the parted out guitars started showing up on eBay a few years ago. I instantly fell in love with the Pagen Gold when I saw it!! The bridge pickup is a Duncan Distortion, the neck is a 59'. Both where in my parts drawer waiting on a project. The only parts I need to find (or make) are the backplates for the trem and control cavity, but it's a functioning guitar at this point. I was surprised at how well this thing fit together and how well it set up with little effort!

    Shread-stix really ain't my thing, but I always thought the Tele shaped Charvel Mic Mars played in the late 80's was pretty darn cool!!!!

    Whatcha Think?

      Anybody recognize that speedknob? I've had it in my drawer for years! I think it might be an old Peavey knob or something......It's got dimples all the way around it.

                  This is my kind of Tele! I saw one almost Identical to it on here, except the body was natural. Instant love! There is something about the formula put into this kind of tele that just makes me drool.

                    I wish Charvel would start using the pointy headstock again. I also wish that they would make 24 fret superstrats again.

                      I have a purple Style 2 with the stock maple neck, yours looks soo much better with the rosewood/pointy combo

                            I had to check Google on that one. Seems very similar, tho I've had this for 20 years I bet......
