Hey guys.

Just incase anyone's interested I managed to snap a few pics of my Charvel Fusion Special (thanks to Davey for the confirmation!)

I'm seriously considering widening the route slightly where the 2 single coil pickups sit so that I can fit a humbucker in there (if it's possible anyway). Probably a VHII or (on TO's suggestion) a Cold Sweat :D

Sorry for the rubbish pictures but the light in my room is dreadful. It gives an idea though :lol:

ooo, very nice. VERY nice!!!!
i like to colour!

and yea, widen the route a bit, add a mount ring and hit it up with a humbucker!!!

Maybe you can fit a Knuckleduster (see Nathan Shepard guitars for more).

To be honest, I can't usually get on with these types of guitars because they usually have quite thin necks and I can't seem to get used to them after playing myLPs etc. I dunno, something about this 1 just grew on me :lol:

That would only apply if it were a humbucker to begin with.

I'm still toying with the idea of trying to fit a humbucker to it, but as the route would be a Parallelogram and not a rectangle like most pickup routes are, I dunno if it's even possible or not :roll:

S'ppose I should speak to Jonathan at Feline about it and ask his advice :twisted:

Could you elaborate on this please Phil? I can't seem to find any info about it :shock:

The knuckleduster bridge and neck are made for Nathan, they are 2 tele pickups in a single mount, so they are a humbucker, but they sit at an angle

They look quite interesting :)

Do they have a website or anything where I could get a price from?

Sweet guitar!

If this forum has taught me nothing else it is what a child of the 80's I truly am. I constantly get GAS pains for super strats and other 80's goodness, I think I'd do a back flip if I could find a Hamer Diablo or Centura. Well I don't miss neon green and spandex but you get the picture.

Ah, there's the sarcastic comment I was waiting for! I'm surprised it took you this long to reply :roll:
