Oh Yeah, I Forgot To Tell Yall That I Purchased Some New Guitars

now as most of you know, I have been a tota l Gibson head since I started playing guitar when I was about 32 years old. that is pretty much the only guitars I played for years and years and years. I guess about 7-8 years ago I had a really bad pinched nerve in my neck and it caused my fingers to go numb. hell, I quit playing guitar for about 2 years a bit at least. during that time I ended up buying a Charvel style 2 2 h. it is the purple guitar in the middle. I'll be a hundred percent honest with you. that guitar saved my life as far as playing guitar again. I ended up falling in love with that Charvel guitar. I have worn it out. it is the only guitar that I own that you can see all of my fingerprints and stuff on the neck. are completely converted from a Gibson Les Paul, Flying V, Explorer type of guitar player into a Charvel guitar player. I absolutely love everything about these guitars, and especially their necks. Plus, to be honest with you, I have always been a Floyd Rose kind of guy anyways. well, I have never been able to turn down a good deal when it comes to music instruments. I have been so in love with my purple Telecaster shaped Charvel, then I ended up finding a really good deal for $600 a few months ago and I bought the black one. then, Charvel came right back out with the candy apple blue colored san dimas model, which I have always thought was beautiful and always wanted. however, there was no way in hell that I was going to pay $150 for the guitar. I got another good deal for $600 on it. so, these are the guitars are not playing at the moment. and, if my good friend thelivingdead does not mind, I sure would appreciate it if he would show these pictures for me. oh yes, I will post later as far as what pickups are going to go in them.

If picking up a Charvel and running up/down the neck doesn't put a huge smile on your face, you have no soul. Mine became my #1 as soon as I bought her.

I would like to also apologize for the big huge one paragraph. I am posting from my cell phone. I'm sorry about that

check out that finger board on the purple one ;)
 
Re: Oh Yeah, I Forgot To Tell Yall That I Purchased Some New Guitars

I would have sex with the blue one.
 
Re: Oh Yeah, I Forgot To Tell Yall That I Purchased Some New Guitars

yeah, I've been playing that blue one a lot since I got in a couple of weeks ago. I am thinking about putting a set of jazz pickups in it with the BMP to make it active.
 
Re: Oh Yeah, I Forgot To Tell Yall That I Purchased Some New Guitars

I'm actually looking into getting a specific ocean colored one of these! Would you say it's worth the price?

I didn't because the store's setup was rather bad. One of the best feeling necks, ever, though.

What's that? You're giving away the Gibsons because you don't play them anymore? Awesome!

:)

Glad you're digging the Charvels. Guitars that make you smile are the ****.

what about it? these pictures are too small to notice anything beyond the standard maple.

what's going on with the purple one?
 
Re: Oh Yeah, I Forgot To Tell Yall That I Purchased Some New Guitars

I love that blue one but I won't touch it after Steve does whatever he does with it.
 
Re: Oh Yeah, I Forgot To Tell Yall That I Purchased Some New Guitars

ya know, for the price of those two mid grade instruments, you could get closer to a real Custom shop Charvel..just sayin'. Don't get me wrong...good gutars and all, but I'm having trouble dealing with the premium Les Paul/mid grade Charvel transition.
I hope at some point John Jolly returns, or at least revisits his roots- there is only one Les Paul, and the worlds best tones and playing I've heard are with JJ slinging a Paul.

It sounds like the perfect time to start peeling Jolly's Gibsons away from him! LOL

I may start with the Flying V/Explorer combo, then work my way into one of the Juniors.
