On the guitar, I bought one for my son in law last Christmas on a recommendation from a guitarist friend. He loves it. His is natural fish rather than the sunburst one I sent you the link to. It comes both ways. Played GREAT right out of the box. I went the extra yard and put a set of good tuners on it that cost almost as much as the guitar! Didn't really need them but it looks killer with a set of pearloid keystones on it. Fit and finish is top notch and on par with guitars costing much more. Good tone woods as well. If you use sweet water ask for Brandon, he is my rep there and tell him I sent you. He's a good guy and you will have the guitar over night.

I DID know your nickname was "T-Bird" but I didn't think that it related to the car. It was my grandfather's car, and you can read more about it here:

Just an FYI, the Charvel 550 got a clean bill of health from a friend who plays guitar. The seller was a really cool guy that had a bunch of guitars, and he let my buddy play a bunch of them and play a couple songs with him. It was a lot of fun. He took $120 for the guitar, and there isn't a scratch on it. My buddy Tony said that the action was already lowered, and it played "really easy." I downloaded a chord chart, and I'll start messing around with it this week.
I just wanted to express my thanks for everyone that had advice. I knew that I was going to get some information that I could use from this forum. You guys are the best.
