Spare parts

Werner232

Hi guys! Haven't been on in a while. I've been a bit busy. I might be asking the impossible but here goes.

Is there anybody on here that by any chance have Floyd Rose tremolo graphite blocks and a set of Jackson or Charvel tuners lying around that they are willing to part with?

I managed to get my hands on a bits and pieces Charvel 475 Deluxe that I'm busy restoring to play condition that short some parts. I don't want to do the aftermarket thing because I want to restore it as close as possible to original condition.

Thanks

If I may ask, did you buy those off someone that had two bodies and one neck? I looked into that but couldn't find that style of neck with any body that had pickguards (certainly the 475 Deluxe is routed from the back), so it looked to me like neither of those bodies matched the neck. As far as I could find, all Charvels from that era that had pickguards had more traditional (less "metal") necks and headstock logos.

Anyway, I'd be interested to know how well the neck fits, and how the project goes, or at least turns out.

Good luck.

Heish...these won't be trivial to track down.

You can try Bothners for Charvel/Jackson parts (they are the local distributor) - though I'd imagine you'd have to settle for something that's similar instead of the actual part.

They might have the floyd bits - though (depending on the model), you'll have to make do with what you can find. I did see that floyd rose (tm) do offer original parts online : https://floydrose.com/collections/parts

ChrisDanger Hey Chris. Yes it's the one. Black body looks more like a Charvel San Dimas. The original body is the white one. It's pretty much trashed. Someone dropped the guitar and it crack which some imbecile tried to fix with a huge chunk of pine. LOL.

Neck is flawless apart from a small nick on the tip of the headstock and a tuning head that needs a cover. Fret wire need to be re- crowned.
The Floyd is a Jackson branded bridge. I looked into that and found out that it was not uncommon on that era Charvels. All springs pins and screws intact.

Pick ups and electronics is basically trashed so I'm gonna replace that with decent DiMarzios.

Will keep you guys posted about progress. I relish a good challenge. LOL!
