Made in Korea,22 Frets, Painted white and black. It has a 5 way selector and also tone and volume control. I'm posting this coz I feel that Charvels should be given more attention. It uses passive Jackson pickups coz it's manufactured under Jackson's license.
It has strat style top. Nothing much with the bridge style though. The tuners are also Charvel too. Great tuners...hardly go out of tune.
The neck is rosewood.
Sound

I'm learning to play for my Church. It really sounds sharp and fat. Really nice sound... could give a US $ 700- 1000 bucks guitar a run for the money. Me and my brother were trying out various guitars for 4 hours...so imagine! Much better than the Hammers that the shop also has. It has low action, but no buzzing. I especially like the sharp full sounds...My brother likes it too, though we have a Fernandez at home.

No flaws. Everything was just perfect. The Jackson pickups are a value for money.

I own a Maison, and have a friend's Fernandez at home too before buying this guitar. I choose this guitar after trying out various guitars for hours. And it seem to fare head to head with Hammers and also more expensive guitars like Gibson. Had only rm 1400 (US $ 350) at that time, so not much choice. But it easily gives Gibson a run for the money in terms of playability and etc etc.
