Got bored, Charvel got a new finish...

[eakinj]

So I saw some pics of a guitar someone else on here had done using the Krylon glitter paint, so, since I had my Charvel which has been through hell, sitting here with a half assed yellow rattle can paint job, i decided to try it.

I think it turned out fantastic. need to get it wired now, and really need to find a replacement bridge with a 42mm block. i have a FR block on order, but don't know if it'll fit this "jackson" bridge. i have my doubts. not going to spent 200 bucks on anything, so if this doesn't work, then I'm grinding the wood out of there where the springs are. the wood on this thing is in bad shape, it looks pretty, but it's beat up so.. I'm going to make it playable with what i have.

anyway, it turned out great, looking forward to jamming with it now.

Cool color

Floyd block should fit that bridge.

That looks like a JT-590.
Floyd block will fit it just fine.

Great job! What's the PUP?

Needs a maple board and H-H pups now.

And chrome hardware.

It's a GFS Crunchy Rail. I didn't have anything else to throw in it. It's not wired yet, I'm not sure what I'll end up with in it

I agree on the neck, I have no use for a neck pickup though.

Cool, crossing fingers for sure

It's the cheaper JT-500 bridge. Will it take the same block as the Schaller/JT-590?

I saw someone selling a brass one for the jt-500 and up, and looking at the photos it looks like it's got the screw holes in the same place, so. crossing fingers.

I'm getting nervous about having to re-intonate a floyd style bridge. that'll be a fun process. lol

I just called Chris Holmes and he says you don't really need to bother with that.

if it is intonated now, make some measurements before hand and this will help you get it close to start with.

The base plates are identical between the 500 and the 590. All the parts are interchangeable.
Only difference is the material they're made of.

I always use white masking tape to mark the front edges of the saddles before I pull them.
Never had an issue with re-intonating a bridge when I do that.
