charvel custom shop surfcaster, celeb guitar


Recommended Posts

usa charvel built in 1995 for louis svitek of the band ministry.

it is one of 2 made for louis. he still has the other.

the guitar is a custom shop neckthrough charvel surf/outcaster. ...

jackson serial # J622X and carries a usa charvel logo

neckthrough usa charvels are seldom seen and this paradox is one of the main reasons I bought the guitar.

dark green opaque in color, [pics dont do the color justice]

its headstock neck and body are fully bound in black.

it is a maple neckthrough the body, ebony fingerboard with offset dot fret markers..... frets show no wear.

duncan JB bridge position and duncan staggered strat in the neck position....

it has its original case and I do have an email from louis eluding to this being his old guitar...

no doubt though, because his black one carries the serial number J622X so they are consecutive numbered guitars.

the guitar is in excellant condition .

the person that bought the guitar from louis, had friends at jackson,so he ordered black hardware for the guitar. he preferred the look over the chrome...but I do have all of the original chrome hardware for it.

> new this guitar would cost someone $2800 plus, and thats if jackson was willing to even build it.

> even the import versions of this guitar at times fetch $1k or better...

I know that guitar!

Waaaay back in a 199x GW, they did a panel with Svitek, Jorgensson, Kiseser from Sepultura and Page Hamilton from Helmet...one of the first guitar mags I had picked up...

That surfcaster caught my attention at the time...

sweet!

louie also played w/ m.o.d., and mindfunk. mindfunk's "dropped" album is one of my faves from the grunge era. he's a good player.
