So we did! Chuck Levin’s has brought everyone to the table with the Watermelon King Series, sharing the sweetest collection of acoustic and electric guitars you’ve ever seen, or tasted!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot wanting to leave anybody out, we invited Gibson’s Murphy Lab, Fender’s Custom Shop, and Taylor Guitars to the table, challenging each of them to dream up their own flavor of watermelon red. The end result is a mouth-watering array of 18 different guitars and basses - everything from Les Paul to Trini Lopez and Stratocasters to Jazzmasters! Our guitar shop also added custom color-coordinated bridge pins to the Taylor 414ce as a fun little flourish!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name for this exciting collection came from a newspaper clipping featuring a photo of Marge Levin and her father, Al Lipshultz. Al had presented a mammoth watermelon to his local farmer’s market, earning him the title of “Watermelon King.” The color, Al’s fun title, and the idea of bringing our friends to the table to share something sweet was the inspiration we needed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe love that every instrument in this collection is a bit different - the color being uniquely interpreted by the craftspeople involved. Each instrument will include a unique Watermelon King Series COA, some fun swag, and of course the warm vibes that come with sharing all the good things with friends and family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Watermelon King Series is available exclusively at Chuck Levin’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Wood: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Type: Heavy Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Color: Watermelon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Type: 60 Strat Custom Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Medium Tint Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Riftsawn Roasted Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Wood: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Early 60s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Keys: Vintage with Fender Logo Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Holes: 4 Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Wire: Medium Jumbo\/6150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Dots: Micarta White .250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Radius: 7.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.650\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 60 Style Oval \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Micarta White 3\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: American Vintage Strat Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Jack: Vintage Strat Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: R Ser Vintage Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Plate: Strat Vintage 4-Ply Tortoiseshell Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: 10-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Tree: American Vintage 59-64 Metal SPR Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrem Arm: Vintage Upgraded 60s Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrem Arm Tip: Aged White Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 4-Ply Brown Shell Nitro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Vintage Aged White Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone Knob: Strat SM FT Tone Vintage White Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume Knob: Strat SM FT Volume Vintage White Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Strat Modern Wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelector Switch: 5-way Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePots: 250K 10% Taper Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Aged Vintage White Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: 60s Strat Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle Pickup: 60s Strat Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: 60s Strat Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: Deluxe Hardshell Case, Strap and Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Fender\u003cbr\u003eModel: 9232001282\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I720195-N-R129660-0-WHXD\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 717669945695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
