I'm green with envy! Laughing

Might wanna check that bridge pup out, though. Doesn't look like a PA pup.

Cool ! Now tell everyone how much better than San Dimas sounds with the Parallel Axis over the JB. That's the only Duncan pickup I really like.

Pick one up and play one, you'll see. They have wonderful unfinished necks with excellent fretwork and rolled fretboard edges. They are very comfortable to play.

The unfinished necks are broken in with your own sweat Dave, they are incredibly fast feeling and if you keep one long enough, they are like the beatup comfy boots that you will never part with. My biggest gripe with any Charvel is the volume knob placement, my playing style inevitably means the volume gets turned down unexpectedly. Probably why I will never own another Charvel or Jackson with that config again. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. This is also the single most noted complaint of these guitars because everything else is killer about them

You'd like mine Ron. Both of my vol pots are located just below the Floyd's.

I know I would love that Star indeed Felice. Is the Explorer body a mutt? I never saw a vintage burst Charvel before. That is pretty sweet Shocked
