My first post, and my first Charvel:

The dealer here has a white one I played it and yes it is nice.The pickup rings being creme and chrome hardware really sets it of for me.

Man, the red is uber sweet! If I didn't have the green, I would be seeking out one of those!

[kellycripp]

there's a white one at the dealer by my house!!! they have a couple so-cal's from last batch too! I hear the white one is getting hard to come by??? I am saving my pennies for one. Still undecided if i should get a tangerine or pagan gold? OR a plum tele style???? they are blowing those out!!!

Recorded all the leads on our latest cd with a white model 5 that had a Kahler. Played so good I am having a Kahler put on my new Mammoth custom V.

You build that V?

Government work? Does that still exist? I know there are government workers, but I never see any of them doing government work. Watching Youtube? yeah, I've seen 'em do that.

Exactly - close enough!

Sweet axe Heavy Dupree! Welcome to where the cool kids hang out.

Well I guess this as good a place as any to post these...

Here's my "white SD1"



-Replacement body courtesy of E-bay
-Fret level, crown & dress courtesy of yours truly
-Gold OFR, Schallers, & other hardware
-Ivory EMG 89B/85N

This thing plays like a champ now, it's my main player. This picture does not come close to doing justice to the beauty of the Candy Blue paint in person.

And, here's my black SD1:



-Gold OFR, Schallers, and other hardware
-Black EMG 89B/85N

First time posting...

Bought this beauty last week from a small dealer in Tarpon Springs, FL. The springs on the Floyd were rubbing against the rear edge of the cavity, and since he doesn't do repairs, he gave me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Having another store set it up and add the heavier brass block, even so I'll still be into it for far less than list.




Thanks for letting me chime in, great forum you have here...

I've got the slime green San Dimas 1, and I can say honestly that it is the best super-Strat guitar I've ever owned. I had my share of Kramer, Ibanez and Jackson guitars back in the day, and this one, out of the box, tops them all.

Oh yeah, I played one of the new orange Charvels at the local Sam Ash for about an hour and it was smoking sick! Great guitar and I definitely plan on getting one.

How about a Kahler appreciation thread????

I own 2 & plan on buying a 3rd when the new batch is released! I love mine! I added a Big Brass trem. block to both of mine & a trem. stop that I purchased from www.floydroseupgrades.com & added a EVH D tuna on both + a little setup work to get things to my likings. Here are mine before the mods. :
