 I've kinda gotta itch for one of these. I dig the simplicity and the pointy headstock. I had one awhile back with a standard style trem, but it felt wrong without the JT6.



Anybody else dig these things?
Meh :/

I'll always have love for super Strat's.  I miss my old Japanese Fender with the single EMG 81 in the bridge and a floyd rose....so fast and so much fun to make squeal.  As a kid I always drooled over the early 80's Charvel's, Jackson's and BC Rich's.

I use pauls now, but I still love the simple design and flexibility of a super strat. Easy to play and generally a good value instrument.

Through the 80s I mostly owned BC Rich guitars. The first guitar I bought brand new was a Warlock. Followed a few years later by an Eagle in day-glo pink! I had an Ironbird, a Bich and an STIII also. A couple years ago I picked up an 80s Mockingbird, but it just didn't stick with me. The Charvel I had though was fun to play, I just wanted a Floyd style trem.
Meh :/

VOLVO)))

Huge jackson/BCR love from my end.

I don't know if it's a Charvel, but I love watching Dana from Keelhaul play the tits out of his guitar, whatever it is.

I used to play one in a band 12 or 13 years ago and I remember it having a very fast neck and playing very nice. I had a shit rig at the time, so any comment about the sound would be irrelevant. There's lots of good pickups in the world for cheap though, so if you like the look and the feel of the neck I think they're good guitars. I like the reverse dinky headstock ones.
