Jackson/Charvel/EVH 2024

[USMarine75]

EVH is now adding the Shark and Circles guitars to the Striped Series lineup.

“After years of receiving requests for this famed instrument, the new Striped Series Shark returns”: EVH brings back Eddie Van Halen’s classic Shark and Circles models

Two of EVH’s most outlandish designs will be available once more

The last batch has been reselling for $2-4k. I've been spamming them to reissue these for years lol.

Well, they're made in the same factory, so...

Wait you're saying there's a reason why these feel and play similar?

I have questions about snap.

1) Do bolt-ons really sound snappier?

2) Can they prove it?

3) Is snappy always good? What does it sound like? Like breaking a twig? Why have I never heard this snappy sound? Can someone record it?

1) No, it's the equivalent of flat earthers

3) Depends, are placebos always good?

Has this been brought up yet? $1899.99 with the soft core case/gig bag. Looks solid and I'm so glad Jackson is bringing an upper specced 8 string to their lineup finally.

I don't see where any of these are US-made? Still, Fender sells USA Strats for less, and these are made by the same company. They're probably Mexican, since the MJs are $100 more.

Sorry I'm stupid, I saw the USA flag in the model page and assumed it was the production county

Have these been posted yet?

X Series DK 1

X Series SL1A

Pro Plus RR24 Firestorm

Pro Plus RR24 fingerprint magnet... sorry, I meant Mirror top

Not my favorite finishes, but credits to Jackson for not throwing more and more satin black or some poplar top on the market.

Actually more a Luxxtone vibe than the Friedmans

Wasn't able to put my finger on it till just now but flat top RRs look so doofy. Baffling decision. I get that maybe it makes life easier with those quilted / mirror etc tops but surely it can't be that big of a deal to bevel them.

Anything that makes an X Series cheaper...

Ok You gotta give it to FMC to be profitable...you can have a Strat, carvel or an Adrians smith with just a sticker change on the headstock.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Just caught up on this thread and i am loving those relic Charvels! And their price

I mean, both Friedman and Luxxtone are just making boutique Charvel/Jackson clones. Charvel already does custom-shop relics.

Maybe for the Circle guitar, but I still see dealers trying to unload the Shark from the last run. You can get one pretty cheap at the moment.

 

[SamSam]

A mij warrior would be high up my list of 2024 guitars. I would even settle for a six string!

I think I need these…

 

[MetalDestroyer]

I think I need these…

Yeah. Despite all my rage Charvel still only makes D-shaped necks, so rat in a cage it is

And by rat in a cage I mean 3-5k boutique clones because for some reason nobody makes c-shaped necks on production guitars.

No I wasn’t referring to the shark lol. Yeah those never sold out. I’m shocked it was “rereleased”. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just EVHgear pushing NOS.

But Circles, Star, and the Striped Series Wolfgang were going for crazy prices. At one point the Red striped ones hit $5k.
