It's the cutaway for the 24-fret neck on the Tele body.

Also, yeah. Give us the San Dimas 7. Seriously, I doubt many people asked for the Tele-7 . . .

Can I bitch too now? Since everybody else is doing it? :ugh:

I don't mind the 24 frets on this one.
Actually I dont think they look too bad... Not that I would get one (its a 7 string goddamnit, what would I need that for anyway)

Actually what I think could be a win for Charvel is if they had a 24 fret option on their regular San Dimas/So Cals.
With their regular colors. I would probably get me a So Cal if they had 24 frets
They do it on the Guthrie sigs, so I think they should consider making their regular ones with 24 too!!!

Can't they just be making Model 5/6 "Soloists" again? :flex: (preferably with recessed floyds of course)

Wow, way to fucking ignore everyone that liked your brand in the first place. :lol:
Thats my feeling with Ibanez not making candy store color RGs, instead of making "black" and "brown"

FMIC seems to blow it with Charvel every time they step outside the narrow bounds of imitating the original stratheads.

Teles are slightly neck-heavy compared to Strats, so why the hell choose a Tele shape for a 7-string? A 7-string San Dimas is such a natural idea, and no one else really makes one like that right now.

Jackson is not a body style, not sure what you mean :scratch:

I mean a So-Cal , but 24 frets



I'm not talking Soloist shape, if thats what you mean with "Jackson"

That would be the Charvel Model 5/6 in that case

You know, Jackson also makes "San Dimas" like the Adrian Smith sig, even tho I wonder why it's not a "So-Cal" because it's a pickguard... Or maybe "So Cal" is a new term? And Adrians guitar is originally from the 80s?

Hmmmmmm......:scratch:



looks a bit like my G&L, so I think it's the 24 frets that makes it so bad on the Charvel 7

The whoop whoop = The tremolo/Floyd. ;)

Yeah dude, they been calling the trem a whoop whoop bar as long as I have been around here and I'm pretty sure longer than that.

Ebony fretboard with no inlays = ABSOLUTLY PERFECT.

(Actually I ordered a custom shop guitar a couple of years ago but I cancelled the order once he sent pics because I saw one or two of the frets wasn't perfectly installed.
)

I DO however think the Charvel DK24 looks cool as hell; if it was black pickups, in other words, a totally black guitar without anything standing out, that's not too bad; I actually like the look of completely black-outed guitars... but I wont buy one
