[wok]

And yes, Adrian uses 009 - 042

 

[Flamencology]

Absolutely not.

 

[Gorgon90]

Smoking hot!

 

[gtrjunior]

I'd need a couple of small mods but hell yea....

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

 

[LeftyTom]

Maybe.......

 

[gtrjunior]

The description says no pickguard, but clearly there is one.

 

[Tiltsta]

Sure, I'd play that.

 

[DFB]

Yes please.
Then there is the price.

I'm the treasurer....and by the way, you're late paying you're dues this month.

 

[Scott Powell]

What justifies the MSRP?

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Don't need the Floyd.
Black hardware looks weird.
No thanks.

 

[vonbladet]

Love both Adrian and Maiden but can I just get a Charvel San Dimas and keep the change?

Good point! That's quite a bit of markup for slapping a name on a guitar.

 

[gtrjunior]

Isn't this particular body style actually called a SoCal by Charvel?
The San Dimas is a super Strat design.

Doesn't look like it, because this is Charvel's Jake E Lee's San Dimas:

 

[gtrjunior]

There are definitely some differences. I couldn't find a white guard pic.
I always thought the SoCal was basically a Strat and the San Dimas was a somewhat modified Strat...no pickguard and some other minor changes....
