    I've always wanted a Charvel, and thought this guitar would be pretty nice since it's a USA Charvel. Neck is awesome with the compound radius and satin finish, purple hue is super cool, pickups go from snarling rock to glimmering cleans. Setup was almost perfect out of the box.

    Does this guitar come with the blue interior custom shop hard case? The specs sheet lists gig bag, but the picture shows the hard case.
