Charvel 375

Are they any good? It's a H-S-S guitar, so how do they compare to something like an SL3? Are they as good?
I know the pickups are worse than an SL3, but is the construction as good?

The 375 was basicaly the model 3 but with a dinky body instead of the strat body and the toothpaste logo instead of the guitar logo. Great guitars but not as sought after as the model 3. Buyt they are just as good. Oh and the trem is differant too. The JT580 i think. instead of the JT6 or the kahler

Nah, they have the Schaller 590.

There was one on eBay I was looking at. It went for £170 in the end, and came with a hard case. I would have bought it but the wife would have went mental!

Actually, the 375 is more sought after than the Model 3 with its better tremolo and upper fret access. Not just the Dinky body, but the scalloped heel joint. Quality may have been the same for the Model series compared to the Toothpaste series, but hardware and playability were much improved with the latter.

I have one in Metallic Magenta and I think it's a nice guitar. I'm not really in love with the pickups though. The J90 humbucker is very good, but I'm not happy with the 2 single coils. They are just not loud enough compared to the bridge p/u. Right now I'm torn between changing the pickups or leaving it totally stock. I don't know if it would screw with the value or something by changing them, although I did have a DiMarzio Super Dist. in there for awhile and it screamed.

BTW, the Schaller trem is awesome too. I think it's much better than the trem JT-6.

Even though these are very sought after, they don't have any collectible value whatsoever. They were mass produced. You go right ahead and switch out those pickups.
