Looks like the Charvel pro mods are back

Post by Gunslinger »

Not that this is official or anything, but it looks like the Charvel Pro Mods are definitely back, MIM as per the rumor. No word yet about the Wildcards. I have been gassing hard for a white So Cal, and they're getting harder and harder to find on the bay. Should know more about the availability tomorrow at the Namm show.

Also, burst finishes. :-bd

If I didn't already have two old Model 1's I would be all over them. They get great reviews. I'm glad my backwards hicktown guitar stores don't have anything that fancy or else I would probably buy buy buy one

I love my MIJ SoCal. Color me interested. Once these drop I'll wait for the reviews and probably hop on a San Dimas.

Priced 200£ lower than the Japan model, and no case.
It would be cool if it is built right :)
One can always get a case or bag.. Hell, I have 4 or 5 cases, and several bags, I don't really need one.

don't make the mistake of converting the prices, usually they just replace the $ with a £ in the UK when pricing guitars

they are smart to keep it going , and lower the price , I bet we see used ones for 400 or so in the near future . However there are still many MIj's to be had on the bay all minty fresh and starting around 7ish . I scored my Wildcard for 725 BIN just last week it was used but dead mint with all the case candy and whatnot . When have you ever seen MIM fretwork = to MIJ fretwork ? Better go get'em while you can...

That's badass!! I hope they come out with promod versions of the Desolation single cuts and Skatecasters, too. Those guitars have the potential to be killer.

I'm sure they will address this and keep the quality consistent. It would be a very bad move to ruin these guitars as everyone already expects them to be on par with the previous models.

I honestly doubt that these will be on par with the US/Japanese models. Not to be a Negative Nancy but from a cost standpoint, they couldn't be. Probably slighty cheaper grade of materials to ensure a decent profit margin.
