Hello, I'm new here. Hopefully someone hasnt posted about this one already!
Ok, I havent figured out what year and model this damn guitar is. I've had it for years and I've been very curious all this time about its origin. I bought it at a pawnshop, so I'm not sure what hands it's been in. I've tried looking up the serial # at the Charvel site, and nothing matched up. There's nothing on the guitar but the name Charvel, and the serial # on the back of the headstock just under the tuning machines. That's it, no visible model name or anything.
It's got a neck-thru design and it's a solid, heavier feeling instrument than many other Charvels. The only mod I did other than different pickups (I believe the Jackson pickup covers are stock, and theyre still on the guitar) is the cumbersome locking nut that had the 3 allen screw covers that went over the top of them. I replaced that with a less gaudy locking nut. It has Jackson tuners and a Kahler tremolo. The serial # is C604350.
I know the photo is ass, but its all I got for the time being. The guitar is not nearly as yellow as it looks. Its more of an off-white or cream color. It almost looks like it was straight up white brand new, and the color has aged since. I know old Gibson SG shaped Les Pauls used to do that.
Anyway, anyone have any ideas? Oh yeah, and the neck is painted with the rest of the guitar. Hopefully this pic works.
