Well i officially have GAS again.
I'm deeply missing my Charvel So Cal and regret selling her.
So I'm keen to buy another and also keen to try the Pro Stock model.
Crafted in China does not worry me.
Anyone here played one ? Thoughts ?

No experience with this one, but I played a flat black DC2 a few months ago. I wanted to hate it because it's not my idea of what a Charvel should be, but the bottom line is that the guitar is freaking awesome. The neck feels really good, the pickups were great and even the hardware was top notch with locking tuners and stuff. It's really a killer guitar, especially for the price they go for.

Ooh... That metallic blue model is sexy!!!

I especially appreciate that they still use a 25.5" scale with the 24 fret, compound radius neck! I just love it when guitar designers get it!

I might also add that I have never played or even seen one of these guitars, but damn I want to try one now!

I've heard some indifferent reviews , overall i love Charvels, the necks are pure sex and it's like they were meant to fit mt hands and playing style.
No where here in OZ has em in stock and i'd rather play one 1st . Might have to bight the bullet and just go for it.
