This guitar came from the “Third Batch” of guitars released in the initial year of 2008—this one in Slime Green. The guitar is loaded with two humbuckers, a Seymour Duncan Trembucker-spaced JB in the bridge position and an SH1n '59 at the neck, controlled by a three-way toggle switch and a single volume control. Black hardware, Grover tuners, Floyd Rose tremolo. Alder body, one piece maple neck. Figured.
Neck offers 305-406mm (12-16-inch) conical radius and a slight pitch - the angle of the neck in relation to the body and bridge - for a super-smooth action: 1.78 degrees for this San Dimas model. Fast fast fast.
Condition is excellent. Hardly a scratch on it. Very minimal fret wear, no dings or pits. Strung with 9’s, it plays really fast. Low action. I have a non-original hard shell case. They came with a gig bag only in 2008, and I do NOT have that.
I offer the guitar at the original street price of $999. Feel free to message me with questions and I am happy to take and send more pictures. You pay shipping in US. I estimated $100. No shipping outside US.
From some press at the time: “In June of 2008, Charvel began releasing the newly designed USA Production Models Series. These are American-made guitars, priced right around a grand (street). Every three months they release limited numbers of each model in custom colors—most recently Ferrari Red, Polar White and Taxi Cab Yellow. They offer two body shapes with Duncan pickups (San Dimas Styles 1 2H and 2 2H), and one with a pickguard and DiMarzio pickups (So-Cal Style 1 2H). They all come with black hardware, Grover tuners, Floyd Rose locking tremolos and a gig-bag. That’s a lot of bang for the buck!”
See demo video from their 2008 release. See also the picture of the magazine add announcing the Third Batch. List price appears to be 1,099.99, but street price was $999 with gig bag.
