  • Help me out?

    I'm trying to recall a guitar I saw once, probably a Charvel USA.

    It's driving me mad because I can only remember it really vaguely:

    White strat body, single hum or two hum probably. The main features was the paintjob. I thought it had like Chinese writing round most of the edges on the front, and maybe like small roses or flowers in there underneath the writing (there was red for sure) or maybe it was barbed wire and not Chinese?

    I am sure I saw it on Ebay? Or Charvel main site?

    Lame description I know. But did I dream it? Did I imagine it? It's killing me.

    Sounds like the Dimartini Dinky that doesn't exist as a current offering from FMIC?

          Yeah cause the french doesn't translate to that in english. I Mean word for word, it's 80% there, but it ends up sounding corny. So why not just write in english to begin with lol .

            Man so not Chinese and no roses. but you got it for sure!

            So, what is it by the way?

                There are only two of these guitars out there that I know of. The original owned by Warren and the other is a JCF member.

                  From what I understand, they made a few of the Frenchies, then had to stop. IIRC, Shawn was the only customer who received one, and they actually tried to get him to return it.

                  The one I'd like to see them make is that black & gold version that Warren plays now.
