NGD - MJ Charvel Socal...

[Willybomb]

I'd been after a black strat with a floyd for ages - buying some squier some random had dropped a cheap chinese one into, buying parts and putting them together, but I sold them along the way because they were never that good.  Nearly got the Player Floyd, but went with a more trad Player Strat and modded that.

But then Charvel Japan did this.... I'd been watching it for nearly a year I reckon before I finally got the courage to grab it online.  I'd say it's nearly perfect but it's missing a reverse headstock, lol.

That's killer man! I agree, a reverse headstock would complete it.

That's hot!  The local guitar store has a pink one that looks killer, but I know I'm not man enough to play a pink one

I don't play well enough for a pink guitar.

Me neither but I'm old enough to not give a crap.

That is a beauty! How is the floyd rose restringing? I have always heard horror stories and stayed away from them..

It's funny, I've been playing strat style bridges for the last 2 years and I found myself bumping up against the fine tuners on occasion.

The actual restringing isn't that bad, but I'd forgotten how finicky they can be when the strings are new.  I asked for 9-46 to be put on and the action done as low as possible before they sent it out but I think I can get more out of it.

As long as you put on the same gauge of strings each time, once a floyd is balanced you're golden.
