Charvel Guitars (AMIC) announced five new models today. Each new Charvel uses Seymour Duncan pickups, 1/8" quilt maple bent tops and have the original Charvel neck shape.

The necks feel like they're 20 years old, " according to Kevin Easton, Marketing Director of Jackson/Charvel Guitar Company. "We set out to improve on the original Charvels with some of today's technology and advancements. The new Charvels use Seymour Duncan Live Wire pickups, Li'l Screamin Demons, Pearly Gates, SH14 and JB's. Some use alder bodies, others have mahogany and the Limited Edition Model A Plus K has a beautiful koa top."
