Williams began playing guitar at age 13, when his parents-assuming it was only a phase-got him an inexpensive Squier beginner instrument. An enterprising teen, Williams quickly taught himself to modify and improve his $100 guitar to sound and feel like his friend's high-performance Charvel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliams was well versed in guitar craft by the time he arrived at Charvel and Jackson, where he did wiring and setup work. His attention to detail drew the attention of acclaimed Senior Master Builder Mike Shannon, and Williams was subsequently given sole responsibility for custom assembly work. Under Shannon's expert wing, Williams slowly worked his way backward through the production process-from final assembly to buffing and polishing to mill work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The most rewarding aspect of my position is being a player and the builder,\" Williams said. \"Getting to feel and hear the difference of each build; knowing what went into it having done each step and learning from each variance of the process is a privilege.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial #: JW0128\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Style: Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Premium Poplar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Quartersawn Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Inlay: Black Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Type: Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Graphite Dual-Action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut and Butt Width: 1-11\/16\", 2-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: .775\" at 3rd Fret, .835\" at 12th Fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"-16\" Compound Radius\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Wire: Jumbo (Stainless-Steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction Type: Bolt-On Scarf Joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Type: Original Floyd Rose Top Mount Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Cavity: STR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrem Cover: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeel Blend: Standard 4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Rout: H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Carve: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Layout: Master Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume Pot: Push\/Pull 500K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnob: Black Dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Switch: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Jack: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Keys: Gotoh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Gauge: 9-42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: 17mm Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Color: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: DiMarzio X2N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Custom \"Glow Bolt\" Artwork by Brian Bock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: High Gloss Polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Hardshell G\u0026amp;G Star, Large Carton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7lbs 15oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Charvel.
