OMG! IT CAME IN!!! MY CHARVEL RIP-OFF!!!! (red and black strat)

[Wyliee]

i always wanted a charvel and this is basically the same thing. all they did was hot rod strats. thats what i did

IIRC early Charvels also used Boogie Bodies.  So your not far off in that category either.

what are boogie bodies?

IIRC, Boogie bodies are pre-warmoth Warmoth bodies. Ken, I think, worked on it with someone else.

Boogie Bodies was Lynn Ellsworth and Jim Warmoth. 50/50.  Ken was also involved and ultimately started Warmoth.  Can you believe that was almost 30 years ago?

I wish it wasn't!  :sad: :toothy12: (30 years ---------God I'm getting old :help: )

I remember seeing Boogie Bodies ads in the Guitar Player or other US guitar mags years ago and can recall thinking it wasn't a bad idea to sell the parts separately and build the guitar you really wanted!

Look forward to the final assembly! :icon_thumright:
