Happy 40th Anniversary! I was finish sanding at Charvel/Jackson for a very short time back in 1985 or 1986. Of course, with my dumb luck I ended up sick as a dog with the flu and lost my position. I can't imagine what guitars I would be cherishing to this day from that little shop in Glendora, CA. Why can life sometimes be sooooo cruel!!! 😭 Btw - I still have my check stub (stored away), a Charvel logo pin, catalog & the black satin jacket with my name on the front & Charvel/Jackson in Metallic Gold thread sewn on the back. That jacket was a regular part of my ensemble during those cool nights roaming the metal/rock clubs in the Hollywood/Orange County areas. My first Charvel I played was in the late 70's. It was a sunburst Strat that belonged to a friend of a friend. What a fine instrument and I was fortunate enough to baby sit that guitar for a week! I do own 2 late 80's Charvel (MIJ) and 3 Jackson (MIM, MIJ & a MIJ Bass) guitars, so I cannot complain too bad! Lol

I spent a fair chunk of change building a partscaster from an Allparts body and neck and what I thought were the best bits to go on it. I put a knock off Charvel sticker on it. It cost as much to do as the USA San Dimas was at the time. I thought the partscaster would be better because it had the specs I wanted. Not even. It was more than okay but not a great guitar. The Gotoh locking trem was the best thing about it. Very good. The builder that did the finishing really pissed me off though by spraying clear over the frets. He said that's just what you do. I doubt it tbh. It took me ages to get it off and make it playable. I pulled it apart and sold the parts separately to recoup most of my money. Now I want to clone an old Marshall amp. Hopefully it works out better this time, although maybe I should begin with cloning a fuzz pedal.
