This is my green guitar from Havin' A Bad Day. It is the first Charvel I ever bought. It has one of my favorite necks of all time. I spent a lot of time practicing on that guitar in my formative years!
It has had different pick ups in it from time to time. Currently it has a Blues Saraceno model pick up in the bridge. Other than that it is stock from the old factory in San Dimas California. I used to keep it tuned to and open E chord a lot in the early 90's. I wrote a few things of interest in that tuning. The tapping intro to FWAK from the Confessions album and the extrapolated version called Fwakstension on the Automatic record. I have no idea how to play either of those things at this point.
Love it!
Long Live Dweezil Green Superstrats!

Wow! great guitar ... how come the entire network can only find this with the black headstock style jackson?? has changed? the latest San Dimas guitars have a unwatchable headstock ...
The legendary DZ-Green Charvel !! I always wondered what happened to this guitar.
When I was 12 I desperately wanted a Dweezil Green Charvel. Then after 15 years of playing rockabilly and surf, this year, I had a hankerin'--and finally the dough--to add one to my Gretsch collection. OMG, these new Charvels are awesome! Great tone, great feel. Better late than never, I guess. Dweezil, what amp did you play through on "Havin' a Bad Day"??
Nice piece does he still own it? I know back in the 80's he owned quite a few cool charvels. My fav has to be the watermelon one, I also really liked the Maddona one. That is with out a doubt one of the coolest colors.
