Well, he had two guitars, both were great, but he wanted somthing different and more reliable. He is a tele guy, but loves the sound of humbuckers, so we had been looking at a USA G&L as an upgrade.
Well, we went to the Local music store yesterday where they were having an insane moving sell and he bought one of the now discontinued Charvel San Dimas teles. It's polar white with black hardware. I am really excited for him! He didn't have all of the cash, so I spotted him about 250 and I cannot wait for band practice tomorrow night.
What do you think of this?

Still can't get over how awesome that Charvel is, if I wasn't totally not skilled with a guitar, I'd pick one up for myself, but I already have one guitar I can't play very well...... |

if he wanted to mod it and put a stacked pot in the switches position for a tone pot/blend pot (replacing the three way switch) like i have on my bass, would that be possible?

You can't stack a blend pot and a regular pot, as a blend is already stacked.
What he could do, is have a stacked volume and tone, and a seperate blend.
Same effect, really. |
