What's this?

[phattphella]

Found a prospective deal today. Trouble is, don't got a lot of info on it.

It's a 24 fret charvel with a tremelo that looks like a floyd, pointy head, strat/dinky shaped, 1 piece body according to the guy, dot inlays and one hum in the bridge with a single knob for volume i presume.

Anyway, heres the link:

Re: What\'s this?

How come you bid it up to $500? I don't get that... looks like you have the only bids on it and it started at $300?

$300 would have been a good price for it, but I think $500 is a couple hundred bucks too much, especially how the market is on Charvel/Jacksons right now.

BZZZT! Wrong, sir!

New Zealand dollars...

300NZD = $183 USD

500NZD = $305 USD

Re: What\'s this?

ehe, Racerx is right.
Plus it hadn't reached reserve at $300, so i was mainly bidding to find the reserve as it tells you when your within 15% of it. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

1988 neck-thru Charvel Model 5A, made in Japan. Great, excellent guitars!!! They only made that model for about 6 months in 1988 and then started adding an extra single coil in the neck position(Model 5FX). I have 2 of these and can't say enough good things about them. I love single hum guitars!

Re: What\'s this?

Nice job bro! Those are kickass guitars! I really hate you now because I've been looking for a 5a and they're hard to find. That is a beautiful one too! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I've got a Black Cherry 5A just like that one that I've been wanting to sell, if anyone's interested. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
