I have to say i dont like it.  
It looks poorly made... especially that neck joint,

-its horrid (is it just me or in the pic of the frount, there looks to be a gap, and on the back there seems to be glue marks?)
-and HUGE, i bet the hulk would have trouble getting his hands around it to reach the top frets!!!,

-Also the way the headstock has been made with the mis-match of wood looks cheap.

-the Trem looks budget, why dont you just get one with a FR?

- I don't know what your paying for it, but Id just put some BKP's in your other guitars... it will give them a new lease of life.  I have a cr@ppy westfield les paul Custom copy, and was gonna sell it to a mate with a KA motherbucker in, but I put in a MM and now I just dont want to sell it.

Anyway, its your choice, but that really doesn't look like a great guitar.

sorry to piss on your fireworks, but just craving a charvel (of any type) may be clouding your judgement... maybe wait until you find one that blows your mind (and has a maple FB) and the wait will be all the more worthwhile.

MMM, that wasn't the Charvel by the way, that was my Schecter that i want to sell, the Charvel looks very nice.

But the Schecter is not big at all it is easy to access the frets, also i don't know what gap you are on about, and that is not glue on the neck.

Too late! Got a BKP!

You can get it though if you want cuz i remember you being fond of maple boards.

Luckily i didn't go over the reserve price when i bidded before so if i unfortunatley won it i wouldn't have to say sorry but i am too poor to buy this guitar because i just bought a BKP!

as much as i like maple boards, i hate HSS pickup setups.

naw.. if i get this 2nd job (and if it pays good .. well, if it doesnt i wont get it) i'll order a neck for my fusion

I just won that blue charvel on ebay, for £200! I also have money left over for a BK or 2 for it if I want to :) Though depending on what the finish looks like in person I may refinish it if I dont like it..
