incurso Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Any info on this model? Anyone ever seen something like this in real life?
VECTOR Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Looks very unusual, perhaps ask Cali-expert @diablo175
Steve Haynie Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 We have seen holo-skull patterns. I wonder how common holo-eye patterns were.

At the time that I bought my 1990 Chapparal Elite 90 guitar from an E-bay seller in Nashville, he also offered his Californian guitar with the hologram skull inlaid into the body finish. I wish that I had bought it, considering the value & rarity of that guitar. MIssed opportunity for me.

I've owned a few, yes but an expert? Nah. That looks legit. I've seen it before online, owned and posted by someone on the HFC I believe.

stonge Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 yes. The first photo in the thread was from the shop i bought it from iirc. I think MikeC shot the second one; he did some great photos of my gear many moons ago. The neck is stamped 922--- so it's an 89 s/n and signed by Jim O'Conner and dated 1990. It sounds as good as it looks lol. Here's another shot with the twins (consecutive s/n Calis in blue and green).

Promise I won't swap out the blade switch for a toggle.

I've made only one mod to these: a Schaller LockMeister in place of the Hamer stamped Floyds in the maple Cali (which I might add, I've swapped back to). And the same for the double neck Cali. So there!

How'd you know???? Or... thinking of routing the pickup cavity to accept a Gravelin HB, possibly a triplebucker, strip the back of the neck and oil finish it, strip the front of the head stock and refin it to match the body and replace the volume pot with a kill switch pot.
