A Kramer Focus for a Charvel Model 2 or a Model 88? If I were a cop I'd throw you in jail.

They guy said he'd like to get around $350 for the 88. Is that reasonable? (I'm new enough to Jackson/Charvel to know I love them, but not know shit about pricing).

Re: Mystery Charvel...
The problem is that you don't know where its neck came from. If it was, say, a Model 3DR (reverse headstock) neck it'd be a good deal, but it doesn't even seem to be Charvel/Jackson.
Go for the Model 2, you won't regret it.

Re: Mystery Charvel...
<font color="aqua">I really believe that is a Charvel neck (with an added string bar)on the 88 as the dots, end of fretboard and just the basic headstock shape is right but it is probably an 89 and later neck for something like the predator since it has the locking nut. Either one would be a great guitar but I have to go with the Model 2 if you had to choose. Let us know how you end up. </font>Dave ->

Re: Mystery Charvel...
I'm gonna try for both. I just emailed him, asking for a trial period. I only asked for 1 day, as all I intend to do is take the neck off the body, and see if it's stamped "Warmoth" or anything. I agree that it does look like a J/C headstock. Even if it's not, if it plays well, I'm keeping it. The matching head looks aweseome!

This is what I was thinking... Although that neck on the 88 looks cool finished the way it is... just needs a black logo [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
But of course if you can score both then by all means do that [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Mystery Charvel...
Thanks for all the input! He agreed to give me a day to see if I liked the neck on the 88... I'm definitely getting the M2. For $350, should I get the 88? The other thing I'd like is a Journeyman. Which would you guys deem a better buy?
