C - Charvel, made in Japan
90 - year it was made, this guitar was made in 1990
1960 - your guitar was the 1,960th neck through Charvel made in Japan in 1990

Awesome guitar BTW, equal in quality to the USA Soloist of the day.

Actually, that's a 1989. The first number in the serial # denotes the last number of the year of manufacture. A C0xxxxx would have been a 1990 guitar.

yeah, it needs to be set up a little bit, but not bad for 350bucks I found a grey hardshell Charvel Case on evil bay for 99 and it fits (a little snug but fits)
I say not bad, cause it has some cosmetic challenges
Sounds good though. Might play with the pups though, gotta wait n see what the sound like through a real amp and system first though.

I'm not confident that anyone has come up with a viable serial number scheme. There seem to be holes in most of the theories that I've seen so far. Probably the best thing to realize is that it's an 89-91 Japanese-made neck-thru and they're great guitars. (that's what I hear anyway, I am not really crazy about neck-thru guitars)

No, I think J/C was just leaving themselves room in case they made more than 9,999 Japanese neckthrus in any given year. Not that they ever have, have they?
