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.

'Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes - the Charvel Pro Mod Series is Back - Made in Mexico to a high standard, the new Charvel Pro Mod Range of guitars have great features.'



If anyone cares.

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.

Awesome!!! Hopefully they can keep the same quality they had in Japan

Those look great! Wonder what US prices will be?

good hope they are on par with the USA/MIJ builds

Boy I hope they come back just as great s the MIA/MIJ I have been gassing for them since I sold my last one!! WHOOHOO!!!

hmmm... Made in Mexico... Charvel is traveling all over the world. I hope the legacy continues to be awesome!

Looks like the Jackson SDX

The guitar in the pic in the link Gene posted has Made In Japan on the headstock.

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.

USD price converted looks to be right at about $899?

Weren't the previous Pro Mods about that price but US made?

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

If they're <$699 I will rape a white san dimas..

San Dimas hard tail! Oooohhh!

No pic yet.

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 really wish they would bring back the Tele model... I'd grab one of those in a heart beat

Charvel.. Y U no make a hardtail?

There are Hardtail models listed on that site.... just no pics as yet

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.

Did the originals come with a case??? I see these don't come with one

My MIJ Charvel SoCal came with a case.

yup a pricey one
