Charvel basics?

[DalyTek]

I'm a big fan of Jacksons, and have learned a lot from here about them. But I honestly know next to nothing about Charvels.

If I understand correctly, if they have Fort Worth TX on the neck plate, they are imports, correct?

How can you tell one model from the next? They all look alike to me. When I see a Charvel in a pawn shop or CL, I don't know what to look for to ID it and know if it's crap, good or a gem!

Can someone give a quick rundown on what to look for to ID the various Charvels?

Thanks!

Thanks for the links, Ron. I'll check 'em out and try to edjamucate myself on Charvels.

And this. I just discovered these: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...itar&x=13&y=17

Very informative. Might be helpful for "What is this?" and "How much is this worth?" types of questions. One for amps, too. My local library had both books.
