I have to admit, after FMIC bought Charvel and Jackson I was deathly affraid they would fuck up the brand I love so dearly. That being said, I bought the midnight blue NAMM guitar, and after having it a few months, It's probably the best Charvel i've ever owned and i've owned too many to count. The build quality is near perfect and the neck profile is reminiscent of the very first one I got in 1981. This guitar reminds me of a fine sports car, it handles well and goes exactly where my fingers push it! The tone is fantastic ( I put a custom custom in it) and needless to say my fears were unfounded. I may catch hell for this post, but I have no reason to bash FMIC anymore. Good Job Guys!
