My dad has bought 3 different charvels, all brand new, and gave me them to set up for him. They were: a Pelham green san dimas style 1 with a floyd rose, a shell pink pro-mod HSS, and a sean long signature.

Each one of them had a bunch of issues.

green san dimas: locking nut cut too deep, had to use 5 0.3mm shims to get it so the strings werent resting on the frets, the knife edges on the floyd came already scuffed up, and the last 3 frets were incredibly uneven.

Sean long: nut cut too low so strings were resting on the first few frets, pickup wires werent correctly soldered so they hsd no output, and the truss rod came maxed out.

Pro-mod: the tremolo came pivoted towards the body as if it was mid dive bomb, the nut wasnt glued and was cut poorly, and all of the frets were uneven.

I dont expect perfection but for over 1000 dollars each i expect way better. Ive tried a bunch of charvels and until recently they were pretty great. Now all the charvels i try are riddled with small errors, or just plain mistakes. What happened?

to fix the scalping issue pokemon should make in store product only available from the vending machines but you should be required to do 25 jumping Jack's per every single pack you purchase i.e: 25 for one pack, 225 for an etb, 50 for a tin, and 900 for a booster box
