Charvel Jake E Lee USA Signature Blue Burst - Blue Burst Reviews
This USA Signature Charvel is everything Ozzy Osbourne/Red Dragon Cartel axeman Jake E. Lee looks for in a custom guitar. Its starts with a lightweight body of resonant, organic poplar that is combined with a custom-spec bolted quartersawn maple neck and a comfortable rolled-edge rosewood fingerboard. Sonically, the Charvel Jake E. Lee is as versatile as they come, with a pair of Hendrix-slanted DiMarzio SDS-1 DP111 single-coils in the neck and middle positions that are brimming with rock tone reflective of decades past and present. In the bridge position, the Jake E. Lee's Seymour Duncan JB humbucker gives you the heat and output needed to really front load your amp and slam on the throttle for extra crunch. A hardtail brass bridge and black Gotoh tuners keep the guitar's tuning nice and crisp amid an onslaught of stage pyrotechnics. It's all meticulously built and assembled to Jake's specs by the Charvel Custom Shop team in California. Looking to cop a slice of Jake's sound and energy? You'll find it in the Charvel Jake E. Lee USA Signature from Sweetwater.

A handsome guitar with minimalist features and maximum fun; with caveats
This guitar has 22 frets which is distinctly different than the JEL pearl white that has 21 frets. This guitar also costs more than the JEL pearl white; although the pearl white is never in stock and the blue seems to always be in stock. The differences are primarily the following: The huge brass bridge on the blue vs the whatever it's made out of on the white. The direct mount middle and neck pickups on the blue vs the pickguard mounted on the white. The 22 frets vs 21 frets, truss rod at the neck heel necessitating removing the neck to adjust on the blue, vs the bullet on the white, and last but certainly not least, the ash body on the white.
Pros- excellent playing fit and finish. Sounds incredible. Plays incredible.
Cons- must remove neck to adjust neck without damaging finish.
Brass hardware tarnishes if you fart in the same house.
