    After some research it looks like the charvel might be a Charvel 275 Deluxe.

      If it feels good and sounds good it is good. What would have happened If ed had made old frankie and then stopped playing guitar and put it in a pawn shop. People would have looked at it and said: 'the pickups not even housed properly, Its made up of a bunch of diffrent parts, not worth 200 bucks". Having said that anyone with any knowledge would have seen the parts were quality but ya get my drift. Just buy anything that you think might be a winner, you'll get some duds but who cares, for 200 bucks its not the end of the world !!

          My plans for the Epiphone include half scaloping the neck, routing a vintage trem, and sticking EMG's in. I'm also going to get all the paint off the neck and maybe paint it frankenstrat colors.

          Can anyone supply the routing schematics for a vintage trem on a LP body?
          I LOVE THAT IDEA. I dont think ive seen a les paul style fitted out like that. Ive always thought of doing something like that myself but never have the money or time.

            Id LOVE to play a gibson with a floyd rose locking trem what a hoot !! Gibson necks aint really my style, a little too 'fat'. I have played some nice ones though i spose.

              A Les Paul with a Vintage trem? Hmmmm....might be scary. You could probably use a normal router template for the body cavities, you'd just have to deepen them. You may be able to find templates at www.stewartmacdonald.com .....

                Thanks guys. I think that once I get the "time and money" into my Epiphone it could turn out to be a fun guitar to play. Anyways I'm still loving my Charvel. I think the stock pick up is a duncan but even if its not it sounds good. I've also got some locking blocks in the mail because the guitar didnt have them when they got it.

                Rock on!
