Re: 1983 Charvel Info - Interesting Factoids

GC never showed me a price list when I ordered mine in `83. I always felt that I may have paid a little more than I should have. But after seeing the price list, I now realize that I got a really good deal.

Funny, I paid fair for 1758 new.

Mike, "neck thru guitar" $300...?

Was it possible to get a neck thru strat?

wow, those were pretty expensive. for some reason i was thinking they were a little cheaper. if a rhoads was 1500 in 1983, the price really isn't that different now. that's pretty cool.

I paid $1,300 and change for a custom Soloist in '86. When you consider what a new USA Select will go for now, I have a hard time rationaliing complaints about the recent price increases.

As to a neck-through Charvel strat, I never understand why that option surprises people. Everything was custom back then. No limits. So, although not many folks thought to do it, why should it be a surprise that it could have been done? ...And still can, for that matter. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (No strathead, though.

anyway, pretty cool that the guitars have actually gone down in price! But I guess you could just compare Charvel-back-then to one of the small boutique builders of today...small volume often means higher prices, but quality should be top notch.
