Do you know what model # Charvel it was? i wil try to get one that is not a signature series.Paul Wolfe wrote:They aren't expensive, people on eBay just ask for extreme amounts of money for them.
I had a Charvel like Jake's back in the day... they weren't anything special.
In 1983 me and a friend had the chance of stealing that white Fender, but we were good boysStiltzkin wrote:remember that the white one he used with Ozzy really is a Fender
jake said when he bought that fender it came with a fixed bridge and he picked it because it sounded better than the strats with standard trems. I'm a little confused bout this, did fender make strats with fixed bridges once or was the guitar modified before jake bought it?Stiltzkin wrote:remember that the white one he used with Ozzy really is a Fender
His famous white guitar(I believe it was dubbed "Whitey) is really a fender with a Charvel neck?Trigger wrote:In 1983 me and a friend had the chance of stealing that white Fender, but we were good boysStiltzkin wrote:remember that the white one he used with Ozzy really is a Fender

If we had gone away with the guitars they had no chance of finding us.

Whitey is all Fender !
Although, Jake had a roommate at Charvel who sanded
the neck and put a Charvel logo on it. But it's still a Fender neck

his is Jake's number one guitar and his personal favorite. It consists of a 1974-75 Fender Stratocaster body, maple neck with rosewood fret board and Gibson frets, brass bridge and Gotoh tuners. The original Fender neck had a large CBS headstock. It was re-shaped and painted by a friend of Jake's who worked at Charvel and also affixed the Charvel logo. Notice the tell-tale Fender "Bullet" truss rod adjustment at the nut.
So basically all I would need to do is buy a white fender with a fixed bridge, remove the fender logo from the headstock and I have a Jake E, Lee signature guitar.Stiltzkin wrote:no it doesn't ...zmack mylde wrote:i dont know about that.
