Hi Guys
Just a post to say hi and introduce myself on here.
Gues I`m old compared to most of you lot-I actually played,gigged and earned my living with a black cherry,Kahlered Model 5 back in the eighties!
That axe was stolen out of my car boot in the early nineties and god I missed her!However I figured I was too mature for pointy headstocks and stuck to more traditional Fender,Gibson and Hamer fare since then.
However I never forgot my Model 5-she was the best guitar I`ve ever owned and I`ve always wanted another.I`ve been on the lookout constantly but these axes don`t often show up in good,let alone playable,condition.Thank god for ebay though-found an electric blue one with a JT6
within an hours drive,bid a lot of money on it and won it for more than I care to admit-especially after reading about the prices you guys have paid for your Model Series Charvels!
Although the seller advertised the axe as being in great playable condition it wasn`t-you know the story!However once twenty years of grime,crud and god knows what had been cleaned off,the axe totally disassembled,serviced and put back together she plays,sounds and feels great.So great that I sold my last Hamer and bought myself a twin for her-a Soloist SL2H in black,which is another amazing guitar.All I need to find now is another black cherry Model 5 with a Kahler to make my life complete!
So I`m fifty,got two eighties pointy headstock guitars with floyds and I don`t give a ...........
(still got a Les Paul though-there are some things you just can`t give up
)
Anyway Hi to you all-this forum is a great place and and I`ve got to say I`ve learned so much about Charvels and Jacksons since coming on here.
Rock on and play guitar you guys!
