        I'm sure there's a dealer on here from Portsmouth. JACKSONWOLF is his username.

          Yeah, that's Steve, and I'm sure he's had some in stock....

          Rare is not the same as valuable
          Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                If you're after Custom Shop rather than Production Series, good luck, never seen one over here.

                  The reason is purely cost. I've looked into it but I just can't get anywhere near the prices of the US dealers, even with import & shipping. You have to bear in mind that a standard graphic select series Soloist for example now retails at £2499!! let alone the custom shop guitars. I would love to stock loads of customs but, with the current economic climate here in the UK, I just wouldn't be able to sell them without making a severe loss on each guitar.
                  Sad, but very true.

                      Wonderful, I'm really enjoying my SoCal, so much that the Les Paul is now spending most of it's time in the case. Get one

                        GuitarGuitar in Newcastle may help if you speak to them. I bought a So Cal there too (way cool guitar) and one of the guys has just been to NAMM - they may be your best bet, give them a ring though, the website doesn't list customs.

                          It is a shame, I've had a few Custom's through but they are so expensive to stock now, particularly as each individual want's their own choice of spec....pickup's, hardware, finish etc. Now is unfortunately, not the time for big outlays, no matter how big a Charvel fan I am.

                          I have to say that the production guitars are awesome....the neck's are so good that I'm about to purchase the Slime Green Style 1!!

                            I see you've got the Pagan Gold SoCal in stock, Steve

                            Having played each of the Production series guitars, I prefer the SoCal (DiMarzios) to the San Dimas (Duncans) as the DiMarzios are a bit brighter, but that's just personal choice.

                            Must admit that the Production series are so good I'd consider getting two, if I had the cash......

                              Hi Darrell,
                              Yes, the pagan gold is a beauty!! As a Wolves supporter, I'm loving the finish but having brought home the Slime Green tonight, I doubt whether the wife would be too impressed!!
