This is a "parts" guitar assembled from the parts of two different Charvel guitars. Those knowing me realize I am extremely anal about having all my Charvels be 100% original and match the factory work order and log information at Jackson. However, I have realized that although she is not as she was when she left the factory; (pieced together from different Charvel guitars) she is still a KILLER player and a totally awesome sounding Charvel guitar. I am thrilled to have her in my collection.
If you look at the vintage tremolo area, you can see two holes (on either side of the trem) which were the anchor posts left from an earlier Floyd Rose modification. No biggie as it is a player and she sounds GREAT. When Craig sold me the body, it had the serialized neck plate #3404 attached. Serial number 3404 however, was listed blank in the factory log book so no information was obtained from Jackson. I later sold the now loose neck plate and used a plate that I later purchased.
This was a fun project for me and it worked out well. I was lucky in that both the body and the neck were both fully complete when I got them. I simply slapped them together added a vintage tremolo and bolted on the neck plate.
I know some are surprised that I have "parts or mutt" guitars in my collection, in fact I have 2 parts Charvel guitars and they both sound/play great. The real cool thing is that I had a blast assembling them.
Enjoy the pics...
