In 1989, I bought a brand new Charvel 750xl from a music store in Ft. Lauderdale, FL called Music Arts Enterprises on Davie Blvd. I had the guitar for 5 years until it was stolen from me. It has pained me every single day since. I am still wondering what ever happened with that guitar. I think that it has probably been a long enough time since then, that the person who stole it, no longer has it. I have been searching the internet's 750xl pictures for years trying to catch a glimpse of it. I have seen the audiozone guys website and I did not see it listed there either.
The thing about this Charvel is; I went and altered the tremolo set-up on it about a year before it was stolen. I know some of you die-hard 750xl guys and you collectors are going to "slap" me for doing this, but I put a Kahler cam/roller tremolo unit on it in place of the Floyd. I didn't know that the guitar was so "rare" back then. I didn't know they only made them 1 production year. I just liked Kahlers better, and I liked that set-up on that guitar better.
I think the chances of a 1989 Charvel 750xl in see thru blue/purple with a Kahler (and black mounting plate) existing along side the one I owned is nearly impossible. My whole reason for the thread is to see if anyone out there in Jackson/Charvel land has ever seen this guitar around, or knows someone who owns it, or owns it, or even stole it.... would like to send me a picture of my old friend. I was 16 years old when I bought this guitar, and it sure meant a lot to me. I have been buying (I now own 12 guitars) and playing (trying out) other guitars since 1994, trying to find its equal, to no avail. I just recently purchased a Jackson SLAT3-6 in hopes that it plays somewhat "close" the the 750xl. It will be here sometime this week.
I appreciate any effort, or help to finally locate my first love, and just to know that she is alright. That would be enough for me. I believe it was stolen in either Nashville, TN or Augusta, GA. That is all I really have to go on. Please let me know what, if anything.
Thanks!!
