Members kanamvar32 Posted December 4, 2011 Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 nice features but I dont like the look. I really like the single bridge pickup config. I sort of wish my CS had the pickup selector/killswitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colejustesen Posted December 4, 2011 Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 That is pretty awesome! I would totally own that, and I hate flames on guitars, but the color scheme works very well! Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ShaneV2 Posted December 4, 2011 Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 Love the color scheme, but I think I'd feel kind of awkward playing a flame painted guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members paul88lx Posted December 4, 2011 Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 It looks almost like a negative photo. I like it and these Charvel threads do nothing to keep me from spending moniez I ain't gots. What is the body made of? Alder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitup too Posted December 4, 2011 Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 Should be alder. All the other Promods, both U.S. and Japanese have been. I really like the color scheme but still undecided about the flames. The black headstock with silver logo is a nice touch.Would prefer maple and will they ever do a reverse headstock on the Promod?

Members Hardvalve Posted December 4, 2011 Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 Feels so Nu Metal. Would match a barbed wire tattoo, tribals, and a cool Ed Hardy shirt. The BRO Charvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap on a MIG Floyd, up the price a bit and they'll still sell like hotcakes IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Erock503 Posted December 4, 2011 Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 Slap on a MIG Floyd, up the price a bit and they'll still sell like hotcakes IMO. I'm not sure the MIK is a big deal really, it's still an OFR, and it's not a FR Special. I bought my So Cal about 6 months ago for 80's wankery, and the trem has taken a lot of abuse without showing signs of wear. I'm not sure the whole baseplate is hardened steel, but the knife edges seem to be. I guess the real test will be 10 years down the road, but I've had cheap LFR show signs of wear and tuning instability with much less abuse.

Which begs the question, how much more do they have to charge to put a MIG Floyd on there? Not that much considering they'll be buying that {censored} in bulk.

Members Toshiro Posted December 4, 2011 Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 Slap on a MIG Floyd, up the price a bit and they'll still sell like hotcakes IMO. They already sell like hotcakes. Really, it's not that big a deal. The MIK's only weak spot is the arm holder, which is a cheap fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that much considering they'll be buying that {censored} in bulk. Yeah, I see your point, but I have no idea of what the duties or upcharges are compared to MIG. I know something stupid like a MIG black nut alone is like $40 for a regular consumer, which seems a bit ridiculous to me. I had the same concerns before owning a MIK, but at this point, as long as it's quality materials and build, I don't really care where it's made. Like I said though, my tune could change 5-10 years down the road. I have Floyds that are 20 years old and still hold tuning stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I just can't understand why they don't wanna do it. We should be happy they don't go to Chinese hardware and increase prices like Ibanez. What sub $1k guitar comes with a MIG OFR? Nevermind being MIJ with name brand pickups and a hardcase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
