That looks sharp. Did the 8-hole line up right with the existing holes, and did the volume pot fit with no mod to the body cavity?

Warmoth custom order, 8-hole, W/B/W pickguard routed for H/S, 3-way blade switch and V/T/T. Pickups are DiMarzio Evolution in the bridge and DiMarzio Fast Track 1 in the neck.

Sweet!!!








(not "Halford Warrior sweet" but certainly pretty sweet!)

war angel? now thats sounds badass!

Indeed it is




GT - Yeah I toyed with the idea of selling it, but on second thought, I decided to keep it.

[Grandturk]

The more I play my Charvels, the more I like them! If not for the Warrior and my WarAngel (and a few other Jackson Custom Shop ideas in the works), I'd probably defect to Charvel

Weren't you getting rid of the WarAngel at some point? I thought it was on the chopping block.

Anyway - I just put my SD1 away last night and pulled out my Ibanez 770DX for a little action. Totally different feel - I think the SD1 just feels comfortable - like a muscle car with bench seats. The Ibanez more like a ricer with Sparcos. If anything - the SD1 is meaty - a real meat and potatoes type of guitar - classic. But damn, that Edge trem is sweet.

Some very nice stuff in here. I have been G.A.S. free for some time now. BUT: I am caving!!! One in particular in here(I will not divulge which one!) gets me weak in the knees! I am hoping to secure one.

I've had SEVERAL of the new charvels(pointy head) and they hung right with my san dimas era axes that I had.

Here are my two:

Candy Tangerine - completely stock, still has plastic on the pickguard

Candy Green - Doug Aldrich in bridge, Lil' Screamin Demon in neck - also put a Dimarzio 3 way switch (Petrucci wiring), custom pickguard 3 ply black/white/black

Sweet! But you need the slime green to match that drum set!

I think I just might order a custom shop Charvel with a Kahler trem, Knob O' Death volume knob, and a pointy headstock instead of Strat just to piss off everybody else here
Seriously, the knob is not bad at all and Kahlers work just fine. I have had a Kahler since the mid 80's and never once popped the ball end out of the claw on it and I never had string breakage problems either. At least the thing stays in tune in the rare event you do actually bust a string and it has no removable parts like those damn Floyd string blocks. Ever lose one of those during a string change on a dark stage? Good luck finding it! Oh, and I have recieved more older used guitars with one of those blocks frozen in place on a Floyd than I have frozen Kahler parts. I have guitars with both trems and can play either. The Kahler does not = Evil!

i love the knob too. It's very rust resistant too as an fyi. I keep the original knobs off of my two production models in the shower where i use them to slough off the dead skin on my feet. They are perfect for that and take way kess time than one of those store bought pumice stones.

So mike was right. Lots of people do like the knobs..... Just for different purposes :d

I didn't know my pic of my Model 6 with the kahler beside my So-Cal would cause so much controversy! HA HA!

I agree on the knob! At first look I really didn't like it but after I got my So-Cal I love it! It does grip very easily and isn't the meat grinder everyone makes it out to be.

[Newc]

Agreed. The knob does indeed rock. The only reason I replaced mine is because I wanted dual concentric Volume/Tone knobs and for color-scheme purposes.

However, the de-located Knobs O Doom are quite happy on the Ultimate Metal Guitar - The Halford
