  • Plum Crazy

    Haven't seen too many of these posted yet...











    Got it a few days ago. This finish just RULES - the color is awesome, and the candy metallic just pops out in the light.

    Very cool guitar, excellent bang for your buck. I'm really digging the Dimarzios - wish Charvel would do more with them.

    I've got a few mods in store for her. The knob 'o death will be the first thing to go. Then I'm thinking W/B/W pickguard, Hum-Single PU arrangement. I'd like to swap out the Grovers, too, if there are any direct replacements without drilling more holes - anyone know?

    I think I'll just live with it stock for a while before doing anything, though.

    And thanks to Matt's Music for a great and smooth deal, as always!

      Sweet, i've wanted to see some good pics of these - that looks awesome, think that is the best color on them yet, i do love a deep purple or burgundy.
      Grats!!

        That's nice. I'm glad they changed the color of the tele purple to this.
        I think your the only one who may love purple guitars more then me.

          For some reason, I am betting that these pics simply don't do this finish justice!

          If I wasn't broke from the 4 I already have, I would have picked one of these up. God help me if there is a robin's egg SD1 next batch!

          The plum is very badass! Congrats!

            Gotoh tuners will swap out for the Grovers. Sweet axe!

              Tell me about it... I'll get one, be it by hook or by crook, though.

                  From the ones I've seen, the pics don't do the color justice. Personally I think this plum is one of the best colors in the production series. Real sweat looker. Congrads on the purchase !

                    I really like the Plum, but would liked to have seen the Candy Purple that was on the Style 2. I like 'em bright and flashy

                      Really? The set screw seems to be at a much different angle with the Gotohs vs. Grovers. I'm thinking the Gotohs will be cocked at an angle, if you mount them with the Grover screw hole? :think:

                      Got a pic? That'd really help.

                        looks great, I want one too. I'd do the w/b/w pickguard swap too and a perhaps chrome floyd swap

                          congrats very cool color.....oddily I did not like those Dimarizos pkus as much as I liked the Duncans they used in the other models.

                            I don't like the Dimarzios that come standard in the So Cal either, even though I am a Dimarzio guy. Never liked the TZ and paired with the EvoN is just odd. Would be a much better pairing with an Air Norton in the neck (although I like the Air Norton in the bridge much better). I have completely different combinations of Dimarzios in each of my 4 production models and to me, they all sound immeasurably better than the stock ones.

                              I've never been a DiMarzio pickup fan, but I like the ones in the SoCals. Don't care for the JB in the Style 1, though.
