What can you tell me about this japanese strathead Charvel?

I just stumbled across this, and I´m about the pull the trigger... I e-mailed the seller a few minutes ago asking if there´s a case to ship it in. Anyhoo, what can you guys tell me? It´s apparently for the japanese market, but that´s about all I know. Comments, anyone?

Well, it's legit. Japanese market guitar, has a Schaller which is good. Construction should be nice and a good player. Not really much more to tell about this really. I think it's the Japanese market version of the CX era series? Probably worth $375-$475 US, not including shipping.

Yeah, I figured there really wasn´t much to say about it. Looks like an ash body, but it´s a bit hard to tell by the murky shots. He wants 3800 swedish for it including the JB/HS2/HS3 set that´s in there now, which is pretty decent since a new DK2 sells for 5750.

Sounds like a fair price for Europe.
