I'm looking at a Charvette 150B

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

I'm looking at one, apparently it's Korean someone said if the 12th fret dots were spread more, but it has a chrome trem that has "MIG Floyd Rose Patents" on the side away from the bar.
I should buy this guitar shouldn't I...

I don't know what it costs

Depends on the price.

Depends on the price.

199.99

There is a Charvette at my local Sam Ash for $99. Look up Cincinnati Sam Ash.

Charvettes are plywood bodies, not something i would invest in.

Apparently the Japanese-made Charvettes had basswood bodies, and the Korean-made Charvettes had plywood.

The Charvette Series - made in Korea

The Charvette Series neck plates looks quite different and plain compared to the Charvel plates. Some of them have the Ft. Worth stamp as shown in the picture.

The Charvette Series was introduced in late 1989 as low priced versions of the Charvel Series imports, with a suggested retail price range of $320 - $500.

My personal notes indicate that the production started with the 170 and 270 models.

They were initially made in Japan by Chushin Gakki, having basswood bodies, but soon the entire production of the Charvette Series was moved to Korea, introducing the use of plywood for the body.

So there are most likely both basswood and plywood versions of the 170 and 270 models out there.
