https://1drv.ms/i/s!Av7Tu9yrli2Hg-hINTPzrZshe_eKjAHi guys!
I’m a member here since almost 20 years but unfortunately I had to make a new account due to sign in problems…

Anyways… Today I bought a new guitar. A model 7/Legend Charvel. Have googled the hell out of it but wanted to get some more info. Anything is appreciated. But mainly I’m looking to confirm the year of production. -91 the store said.

I also wanted to share some pics of it. It is in amazing condition for approx 30 years old. Barely a scratch. Almost all screws seems to never have had a screwdriver in them… Neck pickup says ”jackson”. I suppose it is a J120? Haven’t checked it’s bottom plate yet.


Serial: 355984

Cheers /Jonatan

Probably a J100... I don't see why it wouldn't be?

Nice guitar. That has always been the one that got away. A local pawn shop had one back in the '90s when I first started playing. Didn't have the money at the time.

NIce, but that's actually a Legend, not a Model 7. The Model 7 does not have the "toothpaste" style logo.

This is a Model 7.

NICE Model 7! Isn't that color called Wine Mist or something similar? I had one the same color except had a Model 2 neck. Sold it to my bass player a few years ago for cheap, since it was far from original.

I also have a real Model 7: "The Skank". This is one of my main live guitars, mostly used for drop D. Here it is with all the Charvels I own. The green CS "Dweezil" is my main live guitar; a numbered small batch run some of us old time JCF members ordered.

Very nice score on what looks like a minty Legend. Here's a catalog scan from the 1989 catalog with specs.

It's not mine, just a pic I found online. I thought it was some kind of salmon, but I'm remembering now it's Burgundy Mist.

Very nice.

[jonatanbergmusician]

Yep. Should’ve had it in the Title aswell. It’s just so ”Model 7” that I’ve heard ppl refered to it as such. Got stuck in the pitfall I guess

This is a Model 7.

Thanks for the image. I saw a similar scan that I’ve used in a video that I’m making of the guitar. It sure is mint. Some minor color loss on the neck plate from rubbing against someones belly, that’s it. I’ve taken some close-up photos of the guitar for the video.

I like the toothpaste more

I made a video with the guitar on YouTube. You’re welcome to ad any info that I forgot to mention.



Have been playing this guitar a lot now and I’m really enjoying it. A pretty unique model that brings lot’s of inspiration.

cheers!

Good tone and very nice playing. Congrats on getting a nice minty Legend!!! By the way the Jackson tuners are proper. The import MIJ Charvels all had Jackson logo'd tuners as they were Charvel by Jackson.
