SOLD! Charvel STX Custom Super Strat - Cherry Sunburst - Reflex Active Pickups 90's model
What's Hot
I bought this from the forum and I've finally added more pics!
This is a 90's Charvel STX with a proper Strat style headstock, it comes with some excellent hardware in the shape of a full on German Schaller Floyd, and a German Floyd R2 Nut which was a brand new replacement. I added a set of new Floyd springs on there too.
It's fitted with a set of active pickups, Reflex Silvers, which sound pretty good. It's a great guitar, and I liked it so much I spent £170 getting the wiring redone as it was playing up intermittently, and it had a full setup and fret dress by Danny at Leicestershire Luthier. Its got a pretty low action (probably too low for me if I'm honest) and plays brilliantly and the Floyd is awesome as you'd expect for a Schaller. The colour and Ash body grain are lovely, and it looks nice with the black scratchplate. Condition is commensurate with it's age, theres some wear on the edges of the fretboard, the body has a couple of dings. the scratchplate is also showing some wear too. I will take some more pics of it when I get home so you can see them more readily. Comes with a tatty, thin gigbag but I can ship it in some great packaging.
I'm selling purely as I have too many guitars and I could do with the money too, otherwise it would stay as I have a real soft spot for it. Unfortunately I've got to be brutal.
I'm looking for £450 delivered, this is a small uplift on the previous sale price I know, however I've spent a large sum getting it sorted and represents a fraction of what I paid for that, which I feel is fair. Located in Leicestershire, happy to ship, I also work in Peterborough so can deliver around those areas too, or meet up if thats more convenient.

Great guitar and it sounds like it’s received a little more love than I gave it - the guitar deserved it too.
Someone will get a nice guitar here!!
What are the Reflex pickups like? I recall them but have no experience of them. Good cleans, work well with FX and overdrive and are they hot/high output?
Previously, there was some sort of mid-boost EQ on this guitar. Is that still the case?
Shame to sell but.... Needs must

Looks like something I could have a great time with. Are trade's considered? I have a lot of unused pedals...
I could be interested in part trades, send me a PM with what you have and we can have a chat

I put the black plate on. The pickups have this modern EMG-like tone which is unique certainly at high gain. Very "Luke"..
You want it Cos.. you can hear it here from when I first got it and before I changed the plate.
Gain is MB Mk4 profile and cleans is some /13 all through a kemper.
