Richtone Music got a pile of the last of the Made in Japan Charvels, so I thought fuck it and took a punt on buying blind. I was a little apprehensive about the floyd, but after softening up my touch on the whammy bar, it's really grown on me. The Seymour 59 in the neck was also a gamble that paid off - I thought that it would be a bit too flabby, but the humbuckers both have plenty of percussive bite. They go extremely well with my amp too, so I'm chuffed to bits. Must admit that there's not a world of difference between it and the Mexican one I tried quality wise, but it's certainly a looker.
