Identify this guitar: 1989 750xl?

[rec28]

Hi all,

I'm brand new to this forum and joined specifically to seek your expertise in identifying a "Toothpaste" logo Charvel. I haven't seen this guitar in person - only these pics. I'm trying to identify it for a friend of a friend who recently lost her husband and isn't quite sure what he left behind.

Based on these online resources, I believe this is a 1989 750xl:

https://www.vintagejapanguitars.com....989-catalogue/
http://audiozone.dk/index-filer/char...0xl-guitar.htm

The serial number is C900562 and she confirms it is a 24.75 scale

What I see:

• Arch top
• Set neck (I assume - it's a solid color so I suppose it could be neck-thru)
• Toothpaste logo
• Inverted neck inlays
• 2 x HB
• Recessed vol/tone knobs and trem route
• Magenta color

These all appear to perfectly match what is described in the Charvel 1989 catalogue and the Audiozone link above (the serial # fits perfectly into the Audiozone list, too)

I would call it case closed but I'm not an expert in Charvel/Jackson and she has someone else telling her that it's not a 750xl and is instead a Chinese model.



Can anyone confirm one way or another?

Many thanks!!

I have never seen 1 in this colour but I can confirm that the guitar in the picture is a 750XL.

If someone is trying to tell something else they are trying to get a great guitar for a good price or trying to flip it or just dont know what they are talking about.
