Photo: Anthrax's Scott Ian with Surfcaster Well-known examples include Steve Cropper, Vince Gill, Robert Plant, Bruce Cockburn, Barry Hay of Golden Earring, and even Scott Ian of Anthrax. Sporting a boutique-look with top-shelf appointments such as flamed maple tops and pearloid pickguards and inlays, the Surfcaster found quick popularity among players. One could very easily conclude that this may have been an homage-to or collage-of Charvel’s favorite vintage designs. It’s control knobs were similar to those of a Fender Telecaster, and the neck and tremolo system resembled those of a Fender Stratocaster. It housed “lipstick” pickups similar to a Danelectro. The Surfcaster used an offset body shape, reminiscent of Fender’s Jazzmaster or Jaguar, or Gibson’s “non-reverse” Firebird.
