I bought a Charvel So-cal from a forum member here... there was a little damage to the guitar and I wasn't totally digging the pickups. I was going to just replace the pickups but then I found this online and had to buy it.
 
Re: New project...

USA Charvel San Dimas Style 2 body. I'm going to move most of the MIJ So-Cal hardware over to this body. I'll get pictures of the transformation. I'm thinking of basic 3-way wiring with coil-split push/pull. The pickups are Dimarzio SD/Tone Zone.
 
Re: New project...

Well, i'll update this thread as I get closer to wiring it up. I am moving the neck and hardware over from the So-Cal, so it will be black hardware with the cream humbuckers. Was thinking of cream switch and knob, but not sure. The color is amazing in person.... like a burnt orange metallic. So cool.
 
Re: New project...

I would pelvic thrust my way into 80's glam metal superstardom with that. If only it were still the 80s...........

The old guitar was really nice, and I was totally fine with it "as is" but I wanted to tinker with the pickups and the wiring. Plus, the body is a little dinged up... so (as I said) I found the tangerine body on ebay and had to have it. Ok, se here is the neck:

With the neck attached:

With the bridge and strings:

Ok, next I have to re-shim the neck and then start on the electronics.
 
Re: New project...

You've updated it from a Brad Gillis/Ozzy Ozbourne 1980's cliche guitar to more of a timeless classic. Can't wait to see how it turns out!:scratchch:banana:

Re: New project...

Yes, the sum of the parts is greater than the parts in this instance!!!

Thanks!
 
Re: New project...

Those Charvels are such dynamite. Great job so far, although I'd have gone with zebra instead of double creme to tie in the black Floyd. Still one hell of a rocker!
