    My first Charvel

    Just got this today. Its a (1987?) Model 4, excellent condition, sharkfins, Original Jackson Pickups H/S/S, Licensed Floyd Rose (Argh!).

    Its setup with 9 gauge strings, action is medium-low, not as low as some USA SL-1's I've seen, but I'm pretty happy with it.

    Bought it locally from a guitar tech who had the tremolo bridge set up slightly tilted lower towards the high E string, which I've never seen before. He says he bought it as part of a big lot of guitars he bought from a collector who had them in storage for 8 years.

    Wasn't sure how to post pix directly to this board, so here's the URL link:

    Now all I need is a neck-thru Model 6, 650XL, 750XL, or USA SL-1 and I'll be happy! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

    Appreciate any comments or questions...

        That is a nice 4, Byeh1. Here's mine in Pearl White with Kahler.

            Congrats [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] That guitar is clean.

            The JT6 floyd copy isn't that bad. In fact, it's very decent if it's set up properly.

              My JT6 is well setup and it's a good bridge for sure. Though I have no experience with other Floyds [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

                Thanks, the neck is nice, though action hasnt been set at the lowest I've ever seen, plays nicely.

                BTW Alvin, nice axe! How do you post your picture directly to JCF? I still havent figured out how to do that...

                  Alvin - how u like that Kahler? The Floyd on mine is a licensed version made in Japan or Taiwan I think, works fine but not as nice as the real Floyd Rose on my Kramer.

                    Thanks, BYeh1, I do love how the pearl white has "aged". For posting to the forum, just follow NOTP's pic tutorial:

                    BTW, I do like the Kahler, but I also like Floyd's as well.

                      Great score! I had a Model 4 and it played great.
