  • ATTN Charvel experts - please help me ID this mystery Charvel !

    A friend just gave me for free a mystery Charvel and I would like to get the correct parts (tuners & trem) for it to get it playing again.
    Someone did a half unfinish and got a little of the sealer coat off which I will reapply. It was originally pearlessant white and stripped with chemicals and a blade.
    My question is -what IS it?
    It is:
    *neck through
    *1 bucker 1 knob 1 volume
    *24 HUGE tall frets
    *very light (probably basswood?)
    *strat style tremolo route with two posts
    *headstock says Charvel (R) by Jackson/Charvel
    *6 digit serial number on last fret C 704562

    any clues...experts????

          The prudes may snub them, but I don't care.
          I dont need furniture.
          If its tough, shreds, and screams, Its all good.
          If it gets jacked, I'll get another one.
          And rock that sucker.

              Yup, 5a
              Popular is not the same as good
              Rare is not the same as valuable
              Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                            BTW is a maple neck thru with poplar body wings.
                            Originally would have had a white polyester primer and polyester base coat.
                            I have a black one and its the tits.
                            If you don't want it send it to me I've been jonesing to do one in pink platinum.
