FINALLY! I got a Charvel Model 5.

[60srocker]

I've only been looking for over a year, and Dana (guitarforceone) finally felt sorry for me and sold me one. Good deal too!

This is a really good guitar, one of the early ones with a Kahler, which is the only floating trem I've ever liked.

A big thumbs up for Dana and Charvel from an old Dean fan! [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Will this forum host pics, or do I need to find another way?

Congrats. I got mine new in '86. It has the Kahler which I personally don't mind. It's a great guitar that you can pick up for a great price nowadays, if you can find one. They don't seem to pop up as much as the other Models. It's special to me, I learned 99% of what I know on that guitar.

Finally, a pic! I had to wait until I got a new black trem arm. I also re-painted the humbucker screw heads black.

sweet axe man. It's always nice to finally get something you've been after for a long time. I might have to take your advice on the floating trem, and check it out! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Sweet, that is a nice looking guitar. I always wanted one of those and have never found one at the right time. Enjoy!

Re: FINALLY! I got a Charvel Model 5.

How does the kahler work for you?
been GASing for one of those for a while now, but am a little "scared" of the kahler....
And btw: GREAT looking axe! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

The Kahler is the ONLY trem that I have ever liked. It's easy to setup, stays in tune, and works fine. I wouldn't trade the Kahler for 10 Floyd Roses.

ok sounds great.
And now a stupid question: How do you like the guitar?
How wold you compare it to a US Jackson?
