This came into my shop and I purchased it just because it's so odd and I have never seen one. Can anyone give me some information regarding this guitar? Serial number is 232723 The model says 3 Red GTM 6, but when I put that in Google, I get nothing that looks like this body.

I was gonna say, I've never seen a charvel with that body or configuration. the shape is reminiscent of the jackson infinity, but more archtop-py and more exaggerated. I like it.
also the checking you see on the body is indicative of nitrocellulose lacquer which would be an anachronism here for a charvel body.
FYI the GTM-6 is referring to the MIDI electronics you see in the control cavity.

Neck is a Japanese Charvel Model Series neck, although at the moment I'm struggling to recall which Model Series guitar had a rosewood fretboard with no locking nut.

There's something like this on ebay somewhere. I saw it doing random down pages look's. Probably couldn't find it again I was clicked on a Jackson soloist star, so it might be Japan only?I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.

When I first saw it my first thought maybe it was some kind of modded Jackson JJ body with a Model series neck on it, but then I remembered the JJ's didn't have different length upper and lower horns. I'm in agreement with model4m that it's a body someone's had made and a mutt.I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.

Wasn't too sure if I really wanted it, but, I knew no one was going to buy it from the shop, so I decided to pull the trigger and bring it home with me. I'm in the process of scanning the case candy, but, while not a Jackson/Charvel body, it's a fun player. Pics incoming.
