Help with ID on Charvel Model 3?

[brashboy]

The moment I saw the finish, this screamed Charvette with a Charvel neck. So, is it basswood or ply?

Don't know, there is a lot of paint in the body cavity and control cavity, would have to scrape paint to tell. Anyone have any idea if these Charvette bodies are basswood or ply?

Trem post spacing. tem pocket. size of humbucker rout.


Looks like many mixed parts on that one, those usually make great guitars with a little love. For me mutt guitars are my goto, no fear of damage when having a good time.

Well, it is a really good player and sounds great. The parts mated really well.

My favorite guitar is a mutt so if you like it and it plays well that is all that matters!

Oh man, those links are perfect. No question the body is a Charvette 170 or 270, maybe a 250. Thanks, super helpful.

Those links that Razor posted were to demonstrate the finish and how it was most associated with Charvette guitars. Your body itself is a 250 body. The 250 is a Strat body compatible with a 22-fret neck. The 270 is a 24-fret Dinky body.

Charvette with a four neck and plate. I had the Charvette in lava and you can tell by the bridge route. Still good good guitars as long as the body isn't plywood which pretty sure it is still gotta love a muttt

Yep the 270 is also a fusion

Thanks for clarifying that! Very good to know.

It's a cool guitar

Everything is made in China now! I think this was made in Korean, which is a step up for sure

BTW, does anyone have an idea what the neck and middle pickups are? They look somewhat like dual rails but I'm not familiar with dual rails that look like this.

Could be but the Charvette 250's I have seen had Charvel branded pickups that were covered, the Charvels I have with rail single pickups look like a single with two rails, not to little singles.1990 Charvel Predator (335093) — Totally Rad Guitars

Look like charvel rails. Maybe out of a fusion?

Remove the pickups and see what identification labels are under the baseplates, if any. I'm sure the Seymour Duncan pickup would also have its own label and I'm curious to know what specific model that one is.
