Members Pigsinzen Posted May 27, 2012 Members Share Posted May 27, 2012 http://www.charvel.com/guitars//search.php?partno=2931110503 Anyone have any experience with this guitar? Just played it and was pretty blown away with the quality and playability for a Chinese guitar. I liked the "small" feel. I could swear it was a small scale guitar. But nope.

Members Canadian Jeff Posted May 27, 2012 Members Share Posted May 27, 2012 Expect to have to replace the bridge after a couple of years. Other than that it looks pretty schwank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billybilly Posted May 27, 2012 Members Share Posted May 27, 2012 I've been looking at the hardtail myself. I'm sure they are great bang for buck. This is the one I have been looking at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pigsinzen Posted May 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2012 These guitars definitely look better in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it was a cheap Floyd copy. I am so used to Ibanez trems... the floyds feel a bit blocky. But I love the shape of the body and feel of the neck. I wish you could get a less "Frilly" version. Less binding, less inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kevman Posted May 28, 2012 Members Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'm gonna go out on a limb and state that if you use your trem a "normal" amount it should be good for a long time. Only problem I have heard about with the trem is the intonation set screws my strip. Be careful. Stew mac sells replacements just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pigsinzen Posted May 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'm just looking for a comfortable guitar. I can always replace teh trem. No big deal. I like the small body, and the unfinished mahogany neck that is on the skinny/small side. Going to check it out again this weekend and give it a serious look.

Members w00dsy Posted May 28, 2012 Members Share Posted May 28, 2012 i played one of the single cut versions and it was surprisingly awesome, and they do look a lot better in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kevman Posted May 28, 2012 Members Share Posted May 28, 2012 I like the body shape. Hearing that the neck is on the skinny/small side puts it in the "not on my must try" list. Still attractive though. I am really liking bigger fatter necks lately. Go figure, with my wookie mitts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pigsinzen Posted May 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 But I WANT a skinny/small neck soo.. It's not like a WIZARD neck. Or OLD wizard neck. The new wizards are bleh. Very comfortable compound radius neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
