Been searching everywhere on net for any kind of info on this guitar. I think its a model 2 thats been modded or just a mutt. Haven't found any pics that looks like it. here is some pics.

from the look of those single coil routs & the control cavity, you may be right.

thanks for the reply, no matter what it is , it rocks and my 11 year old son hasn't put it down all week since I bought it for him.

Isn't that an early Model 4??

model 4s with dot inlays had kahlers, and a different control cavity cover.

It sort of looks like one, but...

1) The single coil routes are not correct.

2) There should be three control knobs.

3) I think the control cavity for a Model 4 is full sized because of the battery and electronics needing more space.

Awesom!

I think that might be a B.C. Rich ST-3 body. It has the EXACT same pickup switches as mine, and as far as I know Charvel's never had them.

Also that's the same pickup routing, same input jack... And same colour

I looked at the single pup routes , it looks like someone had them routed out , there is no color in there just wood, I think switches and tone knob were added with the emg's. Son still hasn't stopped playing it , driving my wife nutz. Here is a bc rich on cl near me. http://reading.craigslist.org/msg/1768189181.html

I'm 99.99% sure it's a modded Model 2. The control cavity shape rules out a BC Rich. I agree that the switches look similar to what you'd see on an ST-3, but they're the same ones you find at any Radio Shack online parts place.

If it were an ST-3 body, it would still be WHITE. Charvel was pretty unique to have the yellowing you see.

My B.C. Rich is pretty white.
