Hi,

The majority of Sad Dimas Charvels had a colored logo, usually gold, but a very very small amount have the white logo. I have only seen one it could have been a fake. These normally had a custom graphics.
The best way to tell is looking at the neck plate. What does it say? If it says Fort Worth TX, or Ontario CA, it is foreign made. Charvels were made in the US from 78-85. The San Dimas series was reissued in 95 and discontinued in 97. These were reissues of the Strat headstock, preproduction models.
What are some of the specs of the guitar? Pickups, trem, serial number, bolt on or neck through? If you can list these, I probably could let you know where it was made.

: thans for You're Attetion!

: does anybody know of any mp3's of the late roy bucanan on the net?

yes theres heaps to down load of roy on (audio galaxy) way better than napster you can chat to people to.

I thik many multifx sounds very well when playng yourself at home, etc. The problem when you play with a band is that all that music "eats" the armonics of your pedal (chorus, distortion, echoes), so you have to boost your midle range and dont abuse of echoes

: Scotty Anderson was supposed to release a CD early this year. Has anyone heard anything about it?
: I read something about this in one of the guitar mags last Fall.

: This follow up is 6 months late, but you probably know "triple stop" is the cd on j curve records. What I want to add is that Scotty is coming to Macon Ga.on Sat. Sept. 29 on my behalf and will perform. It is important only because those of "down here" don't have opportunities like this very often. Anyone else interested can contact me, caus@bellsouth.net

I think you probably mean the intonation, right?
By making small adjustments in length by moving the screws attached to the saddles, you change where the centerpoint of the string is. To have the intonation right the 12th fret harmonic needs to be directly over the 12th fret, they will be exactly the same if this is the case. So the idea is to move the saddle so that the 12th fret harmonic (at the center of the string) is the same as the 12th fret. If the 12th fret is sharp, then the string is too short. If it's flat then the string is too long.
I hope this helps.

Agan, the volume is a master, My suggestion is wiring it like a G&L S500. (Leo Fenders final guitars). If you need a schematic email and I will send it. The S500 uses a single treble control, and in place of the second treble on a strat, uses a bass control. It also uses a toggle switch to make it possible to combine all pickups or the neck and bridge pickups which you cannot do on a standard strat.

This may or may not have anything to do with your problem but I always like to start with the easy things. Did you check the battery??

: I'm having problems with my guitar. When I plug it in and start playing, the volume just drops out. Sometime I tap on the part of the guitar where the eq and volume switch is located and the sound comes back. I've had this thing since February of this year. Any comments?

: is it?

Darn Malakian from System of a Down uses them onstage...
