Just bought a Charvel, but know if it's any good.

What kind of Charvel is this. Black finish, one pickup, maple fretboard with black dot inlays, bolt on neck. Jackson tuners. The logo looks like a guitar, but with Charvel name in it. Than right below it says by Jackson/Charvel. Does that mean it's not even a Japan made Charvel or whats up. It doesn't say where it was made so I'm hoping I didn't get ripped off.

Edit: Also the tremolo is a standard non locking one.

More than $200 and less than $500. It's in great shape though. No cracks or any dents that show wood. Minor pick scrathes and one little nick at the headstock. Nothing noticeable unless you looked for it.

I gotta say though, there are days where I would HAPPILY pay $500 for a model 1. They are such enjoyable guitars.

Re: Just bought a Charvel, but know if it\'s any go

Not it wasn't that far away from $500. I just always wanted a single hum guitar made by Charvel/Jackson and I finally found one. I could have bought a new Jackson DXMG for the same price, but I am much happier with the M1. The only reason I paid more for my M1 is, because I got it from a guitar store and not someone I knew. I know the price was a bit high, but I didn't have a choice as it was a spare of a moment chance that I had some money and that guitar called my name. The chances I would find that guitar being sold for less by some guy off the street would be slim, so I bit the bullet and paid more for it. If the guitar wasn't in as great shape it is I would probably have moved on. Also I got to actually play with it before I bought it so I knew what I was purchasing. Buying used online is a big ass risk. Never know what you will get.

If you dig it - it's worth it!

In my opinion no guitar is worth more or less than what you´re willing to pay for it, so enjoy it! The Model-series Charvels are killer.
