Please note that the Charvel import models cannot be identified solely by a serial number. While it is possible to determine whether it is a neck-thru or a bolt-on, please supply information such as pickup configuration, knob configuration, tremolo, and neck construction.

there is....neckthrus with a C serial are Charvels. Those with a J are Jacksons. The first number after the letter indicates the year. Your guitar is an '86 model Charvel. Beyond that, can't tell what it is without more informationHail yesterdayComment

Hey, thought I might add this to the discussion. This was a great resource for me when I first strated lurking around the board.
How do you think we fund this organization? We're not exactly the March of Dimes.Comment

I have an import but the serial number doesn't have a letter at the start it's 257559. It's a bolt-on with an open pick-up on a mount at the bridge and two strat style pick-ups at the neck and in the centre. I think it's a Model 1A But I'd like to know what year it is.Squeeze my lemonComment

I have a Model 2 from 1987, serial: 254578. Yours is probably from the same year.Comment

OK, thanks.Squeeze my lemonComment

Model 2s had one pickup, so yours is either a 3 or 4. The 1As had pickguards like Fenders IIRC.
To clarify the serialization mentioned above just a bit, only neckthrough Charvels had "C+6" serials. Bolt-ons didn't get a letter, just 6 numbers.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Mine looks pretty much the same as the 1A here
Except it has a double pick-up at the bridge.
Is there a way of aging them with the serial number?Squeeze my lemonComment
