Re: My First Charvel

I had that hairdoo [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I was 16. Nice guitar, I am afraid to ask what you sold it for. Not enough, I know it was priceless to you bro. Jack.

Hey that is pretty cool It looks like a yellow logo not a gold one. Do you remember?

The logo was gold.
I was in high school when I had this guitar.
I remember making the truss rod cover myself from a sheet of yellow plastic I had found in shop class. Just a little something that I thought would make it "different". I left everything else totally stock up to the point of when I sold it. Damn, I would LOVE to be able to track down that same guitar today! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: My First Charvel

Im sure lots of us on the board have similar stories. I too had to sell my guitar because i was broke and need the money for school.

Re: My First Charvel

Cool axe...a shame you had to sell it but I think most of us can relate to wishing we could have one (or several) back. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: My First Charvel

I hear your pain...I too have made those same mistakes & still do today sometimes. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I remeber selling my Holdsworth cream strat with matching peghead for a song cause I had to have 2 Ibanez RG550's. Back then it was cool but today I kick myself in the ass hard over that one.

It would be really cool if you could get your old axe back!

Just thought I'd share a pic of myself with my very first Charvel.
I purchased the guitar sometime in 1984 from what was then known as Veneman Music, in Rockville, Maryland.
This pic was taken sometime in 1985.
I sold the guitar just shortly after.
Yeah, I know ... STUPID mistake! [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: My First Charvel

I'm about the same age as you, which is why I mentioned it. And yes, I no longer have hair like that either. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

As far as the hair ...
If you were a teenager in 1985, chances are, YOU had this same hairdo too. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Yeah, since they were ALL painted differently and all unique, I was thinking the same thing. However, I have yet to recieve any response to my request to try to get in touch with this person. I think the chances are pretty slim. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: My First Charvel

That is an awsome guitar and I think that you will find that most of us have a "wish I never sold it" story and quite a few are from the 80s. Hair optional.

I bought my EVH Charvel at www.hermiesmusicstore.com (if you want to contact Alan) The Charvel that looks like yours with the cracked headstock is NOT for sale, he's just repairing it. Sorry if I made it seem that it was for sale.......

Is it YOUR guitar?
If not, how can you be so sure the owner wouldn't consider selling it?
