diablo175 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Apparently, Charvel heard my anguished cries. They're offering these: Custom Shop Run Alert! Coming this summer, 6 piece run of Dinky Reverse 24 in 6 different finishes! Mock up and spec sheet for Chlorine shown. Other finishes are Violin Burst and Trans Emerald Green over flame maple tops ($3699) and Black Pearl, Cobalt Blue and Purple Metallic over solid alder($3399). Solid color guitars expected June/July. Flame top models in Sept/Oct. Did we miss your favorite color? Get in touch and we can make it happen with this run (color changes only, please).

Sad to say, I will have to have a tech put a proper toggle in there after delivery as Charvel CS apparently will not add one. Likely, the TB 4 will come out for Gravelin as well. Otherwise...

LOL To be fair, I've never bought a guitar with a clouds/lightning/midnight sky finish, though, back in my 20's, I sure wanted one pretty bad.

RobB Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Why drill it and do a pickup replacement on a limited edition, CS guitar? You’ll ruin the resale value. Just order a CS to your specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just order a CS to your specs. Nope. They won't do that. I tried last year after they released the original DK24 series (pictured below). Charvel CS is notoriously stingy about taking new orders. And when they do, the 2.5- 3 year wait time is ridonkulous. As for modding a limited edition CS, wouldn't be the first time. Frankly, a guitar's inherent value to me is in it's being well-suited to my needs as a (crappy) musician. If I get a dozen or so years of solid performance out of it, then it was money well spent.
