Charvel Legacy Series Spider Web Guitar

No Reserve

This model is one of the 5 styles produced and is a pink spiderweb design. There are only 20 of these guitars worldwide, so this is a real chance to pick up a piece of Jackson/Charvel history at a knock down price.

In November 1978, Wayne Charvel sold his company he founded earlier that decade, Charvel's Guitar Repair, to one of his employees, Grover Jackson. Jackson promptly began building highly regarded electric guitars bearing the Charvel name, and those original San Dimas-built Charvel guitars of the late '70s/early '80s have become full blown collectibles today. In 2002 Fender Musical Instrument Corporation bought Charvel, and has preserved the tradition of high-performance guitars. We are proud to also carry many of the unique one-off guitars that are coming out of the Charvel Custom Shop, as well as the new USA Production Models.

This first of its kind Masterbuilt Series consists of 5 classic Charvel models that helped define this unique brand. Each and every detail on these guitars was replicated and reproduced using original tooling and techniques. This specific collection will be limited to only 20 pieces (globally) for each model and each guitar will come with a special certificate hand signed by Grover Jackson as well as Todd Krause, Mike Shannon, Tim Wilson, and Mike Eldred all of which were original employees of Charvel in the beginning and were part of the design and building of these historic reproductions.

This model is a San Dimas 1 x Humbucker 1 x Single Coil design guitar from a 2 piece Alder body and features a maple flat sawn Charvel Neck with Fender licensed headstock. The neck is typical old school Charvel - screaming playability. The 21 frets give the feel of just a tad more depth than a 22 fret model, subtle though it is. The bridge pickup is a classic JB SH4. The Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Model is considered the world's most popular humbucking pickup, the archetype hot-rodded humbucker for over 30 years. The Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Humbucker uses a completely balanced coil configuration to produce great harmonics and a high output with just the right blend of sustain and distortion. With the Seymour Duncan Humbucker you get the best of both worlds: from sweet warm tones to raw rock-and-roll. The neck pick up is a Seymour Duncan SSL-1, an exact replica of the original Alnico V Stratocaster¬ pickups. The same type of magnet wire is used, as well as the same number of coil windings. Every detail is included to duplicate the bell-like tone and the high-end bite that made the vintage Strat famous. In the neck, the pick up provides the player with authentic fat and warm Strat tones to contrast and compliment the JB in the bridge.

The guitar features New Old Stock brass tremolo systems and strap buttons for a true retro feel and look. Brass also resonates better than cheaper metals and thus is an excellent choice around string contact areas - ie the bridge. FJF 08/07/2010

It comes with a hard case and signed certificate confirming authenticity etc - it is signed by Grover Jackson and other master builders. The neck plate also has Grover Jacksons engraved signature on it.
