Title: Christmas presents....
Post by: AngusYoung01 on December 03, 2007, 08:37:50 PM
Well, this morning I ordered a brand new Charvel USA standard Star, and I'm soo $%&#ing stoked about it, I can't wait till the day! I wanted a Floyd Rose, it has an original. I wanted an amazingly built guitar, its hand built. I wanted a thin neck, Charvel necks are amazing. Ahhh man, soo damn happy!!!

Sorry, just wanted to share lol
I'll post pics when I get it  :D


Feel free to share any Christmas GAS too  :D

If I was going to get a star, it would probably be a Killer, but the Charvel and Wayne stars are quite nice.

You may be jealous...  :P

Thanks guys, I still can't believe I'll be the owner of a genuine brand new USA Charvel, It's surreal! Pickup change may have to wait for a while though, and in all fairness, it comes with SD's, which isn't bad by any means, it really has nothing shite about it. BKP's will be on my wishlist in latter days however  :P

After really looking at pictures of them, I've come to see this is possibly the perfect gutar in design, thevolume control and switch is right near the pups, so its all accessable in a small area, not like LP's switch, which is in  a stupid place IMO  :D

Oh, now I remember what I wanted to ask you --

Where did you buy it from, or did you have Charvel build you one?

I just checked merchant city and damn! that's a killer price! some shops sell the single pickup no floyd charvels for that money, they charge much more for the floyd rose etc

Lol, I swear xmas ended a few years ago for me. I think this year I am actually getting some stuff though. sadly ony an external hard drive :P

But... If I would have to have something, maybe an Edwards LPC with 3 pickups, just to keep me occupied and to make decisions on another guitar.
And since it would have 3 PU's maybe try an Emerald in the middle(but not near the strings) as its quite the favourite at the moment, and a VHII either side.

Unbelievable eh? Thought if I didn't get it, I'd never get a genuine USA Charvel for that price again, so its perfect!

Now I just need the Wrist and Headbands, spandex and a perm 8)

That really is gorgeous, and absolutely killer price.

Pedals in particular? Allready bought: a Bad Horsie, a Morley volume, a modded CS3, a modded MT2, and a rack tuner for christmas from myself.

Just need an Electro Harmonix Small stone, and a BBE Sonic Maximizer left =)

Nice :) Where'd you get the BYOC from and is the price reasonable? I'm thinking about getting one to wire up, we're wiring some PCBs for a transistor radio at uni and its actually really easy (MUCH easier than wiring a guitar/new components), I wouldnt think BYOC would be much harder?

Yeah, but your other half will never forgive you for it, no matter how taut the bass or rich the mids.

I'm amazed there isn't a gibson one.
