Charvel SoCal Customized & Done

Post by lll »

Picked up a Charvel SoCal in Snow White here (needed a permanent home for my 80's JBJ):

viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3023

Finished with the customizing & wiring of all new pickguard ass'y.

- swapped 99.5% of the black hardware for chrome (have to swap straplocks yet, and jack plate)
- Original Floyd Rose with Fat Brass Block & Pop-In arm, springs, brass fine tuners, stainless steel who-ze-whatsits everywhere
- My old 80s JBJ in bridge
- SH-10n in neck
- series/parallel with Bourns push pull 500K
- Bourns 500K no-load tone pot
- 3 way switch
- Orange sparkle pickguard from WD
- Hipshot locking tuners with pearl buttons

Does it kick ass? Yes, it definitely kicks ass.

A few clips:

Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee (Nuno solo)

dirty SH-10n pickup - Snooze Blooze

That would make you a Mr. Hendrix! :lol:

I write left handed but play guitar right handed which make sense to me because my fretting hand is my left hand.

You know... us lefties are the only ones in our right mind!!! :roll: :lol:

The guitar looks great! I'm glad you finally got it all put together!

Hell yeah - I dig that Charvel and it sounds fucking great,man!

I'm like you, harddriver - I'm left-handed but play right-handed - I write with my left and throw with my left but always played right-handed.
