Thank you kindly!  _\m/ 

THANK YOU EVERYONE!! 🙂

Well, I bought it a year ago and intended to get it back into working order as it sat for a very long time.  Its DOA when plugged in and needs a complete set up. My luthier has never worked on an early model chap with the three toggles. He was wondering of I could obtain a schematic.  If its a...

Hi Guys!  Long time no talk... I'm back with a new toy that Im really excited about. I was wondering if any of you Chaparral experts happen to have a wiring diagram for this model?  Mine is not this color, but this is the exact model I have (non OBLS) I guess 3 slammer pickups?  Three toggles...

I cut my teeth in logistics. I have worked with every courier / trucker / forwarder domestic and globally you can imagine. They all have their strong points and weak points. For guitars that are not in a overnight situation, UPS ground fully insured (and well packed) is your best bet for on...

I would think not! I hope not! Just buy a Jem, and do your evh stripes with horrible 5150 van hagar sticker!

People either love the color or hate it. I liked it because it was different then your typical faded cherry burst. It came to me,  I wasn't looking for a Lester per se, the price was right. The original owner didn't install the PG, and I don't have the heart to install it even though the top...

*pick guard* 

I like the pickup covers on the blander ones (subjective I know) but a beautiful finish like yours and Diablos look great without. I dont have the heart to put one on mine and mine doesn't even have as nice of a grain as your guys. 

I hear ya re D and G dude! File the nut for D and G and slightly angle towards the coresponding string post then use a little nut sauce.  Lol. He said nut sauce... Beavis... 

It's a nice elite, go 4 it!  Black is always nice.  It's 999 with best offer, so there is some room. Shipping is very reasonable. Elites don't come around too often!
