Primarily metal but I also enjoy playing blues, rock, and indie rock on me electrics.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for in a Charvel or Charvette. I've been an RG man for several years.

That thing is very pretty. The bidding it up to 550 though - I'll go higher than my personal cap for it but it could very well go too high.

I have Jackson dk 2 dinky and it is good guitar in my opinion. Lisenced Floyd Rose works perfectly and it´s versatile guitar so I recommend it. Slightly more than 500, but maybe you can wind used...

[quote name="Skintoxication"]i may be purchasing a charvel strat in the hopeful near future. the action needs to be adjusted (higher) and i need to make sure the hard-on bearer selling it he has the parts for the nut so the floyd rose system will work. if all goes well i will be molesting a new axe :idea:[/quote]



What kind of Charvel strat? model 6?
