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\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Flying V Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRouting: Flying V Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrilling: Flying V Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Mahogany 14 Degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead: Flying V Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: .875\/1.000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 24 3\/4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimension: STD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Corian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Pearl Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: Reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Material: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine Head: Grover Kidney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: TOM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Flying V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJackplate: Flying V Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd Pin: Gold Aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd Pin Detail: Molded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Cover: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Flying V Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: Gold Speed Knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Rings: Creme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Creme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: 490R GPC LBMR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: 498T GPC HBMR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Type: Hardshell Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Gibson\u003cbr\u003eModel: CSFVCM2M20002\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I715769-N-CS501170-0-WHXE\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.
