Weird my post disappeared.

Anyway, I've been looking for a white SoCal myself. but these have been discontinued because the Japanese factory they were being made in has closed.

There's red and blues ones at decent prices on ebay, but the white one is hard to come by and usually priced more than retail.

Sam Ash in Ontario, CA is blowing out their last two, a red San Dimas and the Orange Wild Card #6 Dreamcicle for $699 ea.

Hi, I removed the previous thread in order to add the poll option.

The Japanese factory closed? Wonder what happened there?? DANG!!
After years of being fickle and going from one to another l finally found that the guitar I felt the most comfy with is my les paul and my Charvel So cal. I love the Charvel so much, I wanted to get another. (have white and want to get black.) SO... Its just my frigging luck that they would close the factory and Ill have to either not get one, or pay more. Whats more ironic is that I never liked the ones with pickguards and now thats what I prefer. Oh well.

I've always thought those American made candy blue ones were super sharp looking. That's a great color.

[TheLivingDead]

Candy Green.

[karpathion]

I like that Molten Crust, myself.

[TattooedCarrot]

I like the white SoCal and the Wild Card #7 Primer Scream (except I wish the dots and logo were not yellow).

[Aceman]

I finally went Pagan Gold. It seemed the most Charvel AND the most custom cool to me.

But SoCal Red was a close second.

[stratsandaks]

I'm kind of partial to the San Dimas in red

[Jessie's ghost]

^ So am I. Although, there really are no losers here.

I like the Candy Green MIA. But I think you should go after that natural finished Charvel from 94/95, with the ad featuring Alex Scolnick. Remember that ad? It came in Hawaian Koa, Honduras mahogany, and some other wood choices. It's made in US too. But hell yeah the candy green it is! I just wished it had 24 frets, making it a complete SuperStrat!

From those options SAN DIMAS RED.

That Candy green is sooo nice, works so well with the black pickguard too

[The Dali]

Good stuff! The candy green is probably my favorite, along with the Pagan Gold and the Red or Black So-Cal.

I like the one line... "but there are no losers here"!!!

[LatsMcGee]

That Candy Green is sexy as all hell, you must buy it.....

Couple of white SoCals on evilBay at the moment. Neither one has been bid up yet.
