NGD Charvel So Cal

Picked this up today, on CL for 575.00,with original case, hope that's about right price wise? Opened the case, fell in lust with it, played it, and had to have it, really like the rounded edge on the fret board, fits my stubby little fingers fantastic, the sickness continues,

Nice score!

[Erock503]

congrats, that looks killer man! Anything under $600 for a mint condition MIJ seems like a great price to me. I'd be surprised to see the used prices drop much, considering they aren't making them anymore.

[rufkut]

Hey ERock, thanks for the reply, what ya mean they aren't making them anymore? did I miss something, If so pease clue me in, I thought they were still cranking these things out? thanks brother

Japan plant closed, there are still some floating around in some shops, but they are not making them anymore.

[rufkut]

Thanks alot, for telling me that, I might have to see IF I can find another one(in white) before they become too scarce, when did the plant close

[TattooedCarrot]

The white ones are the least common, and usually the most expensive of these. I was looking around a lot and on average the white ones are fetching about $750 used or $900 NOS from ebay dealers.

Thanks for the info, the hunt begins, do the So Cals have a different neck on them, from the usa san dimas guitars ?

[TattooedCarrot]

Don't have a USA, but I've read here that they are pretty much the same except that the rolled edges on the Japanese necks is more drastic and almost looks scalloped from the side (doesn't feel scalloped though, just has that depressed look from the side).

thanks
