Ehhh, it was a lower line import with a 22 fret neck with dots, no binding, 2 singles side by side for the bridge pickup and a single for the neck.

25-1/2 scale with blade switch and 1 volume control (rear routed). Not sure what I'd pay for one, what are they asking?

[bloodandtears]

£150 with case. but i think it only has one humbucker.

[Budman68]

Hmmm... don't think that existed unless it's some sort of "Japanese only" piece.

It didn't as far as I'm aware either. I actually owned one in the early 90s for a very short time period. It was a white Charvel V (toothpaste logo) and had what appeared at first glance to be a slanted hum (similar to the Kramer Baretta) but it ws actually two singles side by side. The tone was no good, plus I seem to recall the neck being a pain in the ass to keep straight hehe. I wouldn't buy another one based on that alone, but that being said... I've only tried one.

To get a hum in there would require routing as far as I know....

[bloodandtears]

iirc the neck plate simply had charvel/jackson on it, no address..

[adoxtater]

Yeah bro, an import for sure

[Speiro]

Anything like this?


I "badly" changed the bridge pup, but the neck is nice, I paid nearly £400 for mine when I got it new.

[bloodandtears]
