Thanks!

I have had the pleasure of meeting and interacting (emailing, phone calls, chat boards and face to face) with many cool people in my quest for Charvel knowledge that I have to start off my credit page by simply saying: "there are no better people than my fellow Charvel/Jackson enthusiasts". I have been humbled many times with how honest, kind and helpful most fellow enthusiasts have been to me, simply amazing. By far my journeys have resulted in excellent interactions and many friendships which out weigh the 3 in particular people that I rather not remember.

I want to thank Tim Rose for his contributions to the pre-serialized History section. Tim has more experience with this era of Charvel production than most of us noting that he had some 15 examples from the pre-serialized era in his collection at one time. Thanks Tim for all your help in writing this section and for your friendship over the years.

A big thank you to Robert Witte for the inspiration for this site and for sharing with us his remarkable collection, notes, history and even copies of the Jackson log book for the early serial numbered Jackson guitars. His site, www.jacksonmuseum.com is a must stop for fellow enthusiasts and is an excellent resource for information pertaining to Charvel and in particular Jackson guitars. I also want to thank Rob W for all our conversations, allowing me to use some of his pictures and ads that can also be found on his site, and for hooking me up with my white Charvel Telly. Thanks Rob!!

Another outstanding site dedicated to Charvel guitars is Bret Dennis' www.sandimascharvel.com . Bret was the one of the main people that got me into Charvels and has been a great friend to me over the years. Thanks Bret for all your help in making my journey and collection so cool. I could not have done it without you.

Big thanks to Michael Hill (aka Hossman) for being a stand up guy and for allowing me to use some of the history found on his website, www.jacksoncharvelworld.net . I also want to thank Hoss for many awesome conversations over the years and for being the keeper of the Charvel gallery that we started back when I was on Charvel Central. Thanks my man you have a heart of gold and did I mention Hoss is also the proud owner of the Hot Rod Flame Charvel that appeared on the 1981 flyer cover...yummy!!!!

Very big THANKS to Otto, Larry L, Ralph E, John J and Dave H for helping me and answering all my stupid questions and inquires when I was a newbie. Special thanks to Larry L for the early version of the serial number list (spreadsheet with serial numbers and descriptions of Charvels that have surfaced with time that he and Bret compiled) and to Dave H for not only helping me learn back in the day but for also selling me the RedRum Charvel.

A big thanks also goes to Sully for putting up with me and making this site a reality. I drove him to the bottle many a night as I wanted things changed or added to the site. Sully designed and maintains this site for me...awesome job my man, I obviously could not have done it without you.

Special thanks also to my good friends Chad A, Chuck Bloodsplatter, Jim Shine, Gary V, Atomic Noodle, Brett C, Brad K, Kev, Yoga and all my online friends over on the JCF and CC bulletin boards. Thanks to all for making the sharing of information, opinions and posting pictures and stories of our favorite guitars so much fun.

Again have a look around my site, feel free to copy anything ya like...I like to share so have at it, enjoy and feel free to contact me if ya have any questions or more importantly a San Dimas Charvel to sell me.

Enjoy the site and THANKS to all the cool people that share the same enthusiasm for these awesome guitars.
