oh trust me i'm not even considering the thing,

 

but it was ok to play, except the action was pretty stinking high.

 

but in classic GC form it was detuned at least a whole step so that it played slinkier.

 

at standard tuning, that gtr would have been close to unplayable.

My GMW smokes those new charvels.


I was pretty impressed until I went back and played my GMW. No constest.

Yup!!!

 

I own a 1983 Charvel and 3 GMW's I compared them to the re-issues (strathead and pointy) and although they are ok guitars they are WAY off base.

That said my GMW's BLOW the new Charvels out of the water and gives my 83 a run for its money....plus the price is right. I got 2 GMW guitars with 5a quilt tops with cases and shipping for around 3k.

I played one about three weeks ago at a GC, it just came in so it was setup pretty good and not detuned :D I thought the neck was pretty good and the pup sounded nice, I though the pot was too stiff and I was not digging the neck joint connection. I thought it could have been a tighter fit imo. Fret work was pretty solid, not too shabby.

 

IMO my $1500 GMW is a much better guitar.

not because it only has one pickup.


not because it only has one knob.


because it goes against the whole philosophy of the frankenstrat.


its spose to be CHEAP!

 

 

good point

 

too bad it's such a ripoff, because it actually looks cool from far away!

 

but it's more like a $400-500 guitar at best.

the neck is the best part, but it's just a nice shape and unfinished, the wood looks cheap.
