Members notjonahbutnoah Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 This will be Charvel #3 for me. Grabbed it form a forumite. Shipping says it'll be here Saturday. I already know I'll love it. I love tele bodies, I love Floyds, I love Charvel necks. Awesome. The only thing is that I worry about that JB in the bridge position. Anyone played a So Cal and a San Dimas? I love the Tone Zone, but wonder how the JB will be. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kevman Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 hngd! i dig it. always wanted an ESP Eclipse from the days when they were tele shaped. This is about as close as you could get to that. SuperTele. Ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have a JB in my Ravelle, but that's an LP type. Not sure what it'd sound like in a Tele w/a maple neck/board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Athiest_Peace Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 HNGD! The JB will be fine in it, if it's anything like the Schecter PT I had with a JB in the bridge posistion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word, yeah, I'm thinkin my distaste for the JB might be somewhat unmerited. Time to give it another try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poolshark Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 YES! We're like Eskimo brothers now, only with guitar taste. Mine still sports the stock pickups, and the JB in the big alder body sounds very ... brown. Not something I use all the time, but it's about as 80s rock/metal as you could want. Surprisingly good/versatile tones in the other positions, too; I spend most of my time rocking clean tones in the middle position. ps. As an aside, I love these guitars so much that I ordered another last week. The GC rep failed to disclose some pretty healthy damage to the guitar, though - serious blemishes on the guitar's face, fret wear, and a rusted/cracked Floyd - so I returned it locally about an hour ago. Color me sad on that one, because I want one in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Krashpad Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Fwiw I love the JB in my Ravelle. I usually play it with a 50W Sovtek w/master dimed into a 4x12 cab though. In pic below my rig is behind the bassist. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kit_strong Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sweet. Definitely no purist here as I keep thinking about doing a Tele with Dual Filtertrons and tremolo myself (Hipshot or Recessed Wilinson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poolshark Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 So what's your stable got in it now? Let's see, got the Charvel, two bound Teles, 59RI Melody Maker, Peavey HP and a Dano DC-3. Honestly though, it feels kind of bloated at the moment. I keep running into great deals on stuff that I expect to try, then eventually sell; problem is, I haven't gotten around to selling like I really ought to. Still, the Charvel isn't going up on the block any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jhorne Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Those are nice. I picked up a couple when they were discontinued and everyone blew them out for $650ish... Great value for a USA Charvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members honeyiscool Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 JB is super nasal and full of treble. It doesn't have as much body as I like in a bridge pickup, but it results in some awesome bridge + neck tones. Overall a good pickup, not my favorite, but I haven't felt the need to swap it out of my Cobain Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Love it -- especially in that color! I used to sort of be a tele-snob, but buying a Schecter PT has really turned me around. My "actual" telecaster gets much less playing time these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 albinoneck Yeah, that neck would definitely be getting tru-oiled, just for looks alone, but damn! Every thing else about that guitar is perfect as far as I'm concerned. My next 80's shredder, which I don't own at the moment, will be that exact guitar, maybe in a different color though. I like alot of their colors, so that is going to be the only hard decision about it. What are these going for new these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, as a country dude, I figured you of all people wouldn't dig it at all. Fuck yeah. Well man, you better decide you want the strat shape, or start browsing ebay because these went out of production in like 09 or so. There are a couple on the bay hanging out at around 1100. I got mine from a forumite for 775 shipped with an hsc and the official gigbag. Not a bad deal at all if'n you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a San Dimas style 2 and this was my experience with the JB. Very bright. Especially without a tone control. I replaced it with a tone zone and I'm liking it better. I still think it needs a tone control though. Other than that, awesome guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike Fiasco Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 I had an OLP MM1 with an unfinished neck. I bought it used and filthy and did a masterful job of cleaning it up. The neck was blindingly white. With just a little playtime, my fingers had dirtied up the fingerboard and the guitar looked cool again. I also have an Affinity tele with an albinoneck. I'm going to tru oil it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
