I need some advice on what these guitars are worth. 1st one is a Star body with maple/maple pointy headstock. Floyd. The guitar might be the most abused guitar I have ever seen. The body was originally 2 hums, but a 3rd hum was added (badly), the trem posts are so loose and the holes are oblong from being loose for years. The body has been routed by the neck plate to have better access to the high frets. The neck has 5 cracks behind the floyd nut, bad enough that when tension is on the neck it makes the cracks bigger. The second one is a strat body with maple/rosewood pointy. Floyd S/S/H. The body has several spots where there is damage to the finish, but overall I would call it a 7.5 or so. 3rd is a Charvel body, 2 hum with a floyd. Someone reccessed the floyd (badly) and the reccess is about 1/2" all around the entire floyd. (very ugly) Jackson neck, NO PLATE. Any advice would be great.

not much not more than a couple of hundred, with that much damage to the wood sounds like they are only good for hardware -

Re: San Dimas Charvel Guitars
It is not so bad. the posts can be stablized. the only bad part is the shaving on the back, third pickup looks OK from here [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] , but still it is not a disfunctional guitar. I would say it would bring $600 to $1000. more or less. Cool Graphic
What is the serial number?

Re: San Dimas Charvel Guitars
yeah i know but plates go for $2-300 & solid pointy necks go for $2-400 that neck is cracked in 5 spots badly according to the original post. so the neck is garbage & the body is close to garbage, IMO.Comment

Re: San Dimas Charvel Guitars
[img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Who the hell routes a body like that?!? [img]graemlins/puke.gif[/img] Someone must have had serious problems (or really, really huge hands) not to be able to reach the 22nd fret.

Re: San Dimas Charvel Guitars
Without looking at it as a re-sellable/cash-cow/"investment", but looking at it strictly as a guitar, I'd say that it's worth about $400 tops as-is. The shaving of the back doesn't affect the tone or the structural integrity. It looks bad and makes no sense and destroys the marketability and means you can't get $2500 for it, but so what?
The neck is most likely toast, or close enough to it that you can smell grits and bacon cookin'.
If you paid someone to repair it, it'd be fairly expensive and might not even work.

Re: San Dimas Charvel Guitars
the body mods hurt and we can not see the neck in full. 600-700 would be ok...It's not a competition, it's a communityComment

Re: San Dimas Charvel Guitars
Charvel Stars and Explorers are somewhat difficult to play up around the 20th - 22nd frets. You almost have to play with the guitar at and awkward angle to get in there. So the mod, while ugly and a shame, makes sense if the person who did it had a hard time playing it.
Also, are you sure the neck pickup was not also added? Most two humbucker guitars came with a full sized toggle switch as opposed to a mini.
I think it is a cool guitar.Comment
