charvel rhodes question

[cornbread]

what model Rhoads has the single coil neck and angled humbucker?

what are they worth?

are they any good or just a cheap model

where was it made? USA, Japan, or where?

in this picture it is the one on the left

[Franx]

That's a 1990/1991 Avenger (Made in Japan) (Catalog - scan)

I can't say anything about value and quality, but I can say it's spelled Rhoads !

sorry my spell check here is killing me. dang company laptop thinks it knows more than me lol

It's Japanese made. The trem is single-locking and pretty much sucks. Put a real Original Floyd in there and you'll be good to go.

Yep, the trem sucks but other than that it rock for sure. I had a Black one and I really liked it alot. I routed the bridge pup cavity for a full sized humbucker and it was much better.
Looks like someone added a fullsize humbucker to yours as well. they originally had 2 single coils side by side. The single coils were J-100 or J-200s and they looked exactly like the one in the neck position of your guitar now

The bevels were added on, and not factory.
I believe they were only available in Ferrari Red,Snow White,and Black, Candy Blue, and Red Pearl if I'm not mistaken.
Nice score!

edit:
The market value for a nice unmodded Avenger is anywhere from $200-250 Maybe $275 if it is super nice
Your Avenger has been modded, so it's hard to say really.
Here's the original ad from the 1991 catalog:

Is the headstock bound? That looks really nice with the painted bevels on the body.

No, the headstock was not bound. That pic above shows aftermarket bevels painted and an outlined headstock. The Avenger was unbound.
