  • Charvette?

    Are the charvette models anything to write home about?
    I am looking to buy a used one to fix up.

    Thanks.

    Some were made of plywood. Mostly, people consider the plywood ones as shitty, and the others as less shitty.:ROTF:

      You can make money with Charvettes. Just buy one for $150.00 off ebay, pay $40.00 shipping, buy a model series neck for $100.00, pay $20.00 shipping for it, then put the model neck on the Charvette body, sell it for $250.00, then sell the Charvette neck for $75.00. You just made a quick easy 15 bucks! (less ebay and paypal fees of course)

          They look really cool when you smash them on stage!
          Plywood splinters real nice. :ROTF:

            Yeah, and it burns good too. Makes a nice hot fire.

              aren't there health concerns? Burning all that glue that holds the ply together?

                  Yeah, but you gotta give us bonus points for telling you in a very artistic way.

                          Yes, the neck is the best part. Just like a model series neck.

                            I had a nicer one that was certainly on par with the toothpaste logo model series. The pickups could've been better though. Mine had the non-ply body, and the neck was terrific.
