there is no sign of any ones tampering. I have M6 I found on ebay and the electrics go in from the back

Filling in the electronics cavity is pretty simple. All you need it the right size piece of wood and some glue.
It's obvious that the whole guitar was refinished as Charvel never offered that paint job on any Model series guitar.

there is definete NO refinishing. Paint looks like 1st paint job. and NO filling in of wood under the pickups guard. It has a Jackson tremolo on it like my M6 model to

I like how you ask for help identifying your axe, then argue with everyone about what they're saying about it ^

I haven't ever seen a finish like that on a Charvel. It's neck through, Jackson JT-6 Trem, bound fretboard, Jackson Active p'ups...appears to
be a Model Series Import from Japan...Model 6 is what I'd say too...

Maybe get some better headstock pics...but that won't matter if you keep shooting down suggestions from people trying to help you.

I have a completely refinished and modified Model 6 that you couldn't difinitively say was a Model 6 or refinished without knowing about it http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/f...xes/Model%206/ . And Budman's (Dave from fretsonthenet) is way better than mine http://audiozone.dk/index-filer/sb/c...oration-01.htm . A good job on a refinish should be un-noticeable.

And sorry.. I just love showing them!!

I'm going to step in for the newb here...

That is actually a signature model for one of the guitarists in Seikimatsu, a Japanese heavy metal band.

It was probably not introduced in the US market. The OP's location is in Sweden, and I'm surprised that these made it out to Europe, as I had believed it to be a Japan market only model.

Hope this helps,

It appears for just a second right at 1:05 in this video. It may show up again later, but I stopped right there...

Well played!

That definately answers his question without a doubt!

That video is freaking hilarious. I wish I could understand what they were singing.

Cool looking axe. Really unique.

Cheers,

Wow, I cant thank you enough Quantum

No problem darkshredder.

The guitarist's stage name is "Ace Shimizu". Perhaps google will help you find more info about your guitar.

Just watched the rest of the video. Some great playing, and I loved loved that jazz break!
