charvel model 1 i think. that was the first guitar i ever owned but in red.

[MarceloBR]

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if the body is alder or something else?

[straycat]

Body is basswood.
Great guitars but that price is a bit high.
The J-90C is one bad ass pick up.
GC used site has a nice red one but its a model 2 they have it listed as a model 1.
Cheaper price too.

Hey, thanks.

The problem is I'm in Brazil. I don't think guitar center would ship international.. Basically I want a Charvel with 1 humbucker, and preferrably neck through.

I really really really wanted this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:RTQ:US:1123
but the seller can't ship to Brazil, he said the size would exceed the limits, but I bought a soloist a couple of months ago and the shipping was just U$80 in a big box.

Someone wants to earn U$50 to get this guitar and then ship it to me?

Yep, you want a Model 5A.

that's a modded model 5. plus the price is a bit high. if i had the money i would help you out; i've done it before, but i'm saving up for a family trip. maybe someone else will chime in. good luck.

Hey, thanks! I'm bidding on another Model 6 now.
My offer was just to somebody pick the guitar and ship it to me, but I would pay the seller before anything else. It would get more expensive because the shipping to USA is $50, so it's $100 plus the shipping to Brazil... I will wait the end of the other Model 6 auction, maybe it will be cheaper.

[moku]

yeah, best bet is to find a seller who's willing to ship directly to brazil. patience is everything.... sooner or later a perfect deal on feebay always appears if you're patient.

[MarceloBR]

Wish I could be patient man... lol

[coloradoman25]

I ship to brazil all the time but I dont have anything in the specs your looking for unless you want a USA Jackson bolt on

[MarceloBR]

I wish the USA jacksons were not so pricey... but they have a place on my wish list for the future.

[coloradoman25]

Marcelo I would broker one for you if you can find it and it doesnt cost me a fortune to make it happen. Look around check guitar center etc I can buy it for you if you pay me for it and shipping. I dont mind helping a forum bro out.

[MarceloBR]

Hey, thanks a lot man! I'm bidding on a model 6 from a nice seller. If I win he will ship it to me. If I don't, we can do like you said.


thanks!

[MarceloBR]

Well, I won the ebay auction. Now I'll try not to think about it and wait about 3-4 weeks to finally put my hands on it.
