Hey all, I forgot about this import Charvel board. As you all know, these guitars are the best value out there for the time being. I see the 86-89 models going up soon because of the re-issues. I played a re-issue model one (it should be called a 2 because of the Floyd) that was about $1600. It was very nice and reminded me of my model 2, if model 2's are going for 250-350 (if they are in very good condition) then it didn't seem to me that a new one is $1200 better. I'd rather spend that $1200 on a bunch of old ones or maybe a new Wayne. Could someone tell me how to post pics? Thanks.

Re: New here
Posting pics - go to the non Jackson/Charvel section, there's a sticky post all about it.
The current Charvels are nothing like the model series. While some configurations are similar, the new ones are USA made.Occupy JCF -

Re: New here
I hear ya, I own several high end guitars and they are not THAT much better than my model 2. A kid today could buy a 86-88 Charvel, customize it and voila! And it will go up in value because they are so cheap right now. I'll figure out pics and post my gits.

Re: New here
Welcome aboard! This place is addicting and you will try to keep up with "who has the most toys". I can't argue with ya on the model series, so I'm going to leave it. My Model 2 weighs a ton, but I like the neck on that guitar.Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.Comment

Re: New here
It works and welcome to the board. I think your right on with purchasing some older ones (as long as they're in decent shape).

Re: New here
photobucket.com works great for hosting and posting pics on a lot of boards (I spend some time on some sportscar boards too), it seems to work everywhere. You just copy/paste the lowest of the 3 possible links provided.Comment

Re: New here
Thanks all, I spotted some 84-85 USA Charvels on ebay last night. They look good with BIN's under a grand. Locally I found a model 3 in rough shape, if anyone is interested it is located at Downtown Sounds in Northampton, Ma. Off too play my Model 2!Charvel 7308 (TMZ 008), Charvel Pro-mod (yellow), Jackson Soloist Custom (Yellow), Jackson SL2H-V Natural, Gibson LPS DB, Gibson LPS EB, Gibson LPCC C, Charvel Model 2 (scalloped), Jackson DK2M (white), Charvel Journeyman, Fender Classic Player 60's strat, Carvin C66, Musikraft strat mutt, Warmoth Strat mutt, Fender MIM Jazz bass, Epiphone Classical, Takamine parlor.

Welcome!
A wealth of knowledge and cool peeps on here.
I never really appreciated the "Japanese" Charvels. I was loyal only to the san dimas one's. However, I did play a few japanese one's during that time, and a few of them ripped. I've grown to appreciate them and can't stop searching/buying them! I will own two 3DR's(crackle and one black) a predator which I scored tonight and they play and feel terrific! They won't be my last that is for sure.
This is a deadly addictive hobby!!

Re: New here
Thanks man, plays awsome. I bought it as a closet classic. Not a mark, unplayed frets, Kahler works fine/stays in tune, tweed case with logo, original Kahler/Charvel tags/booklet. It really could be 1986 when you pick this up! I got quite a few high end guitars but these imports are very high quaility and very inexpensive so don't feel bad about collecting them!Charvel 7308 (TMZ 008), Charvel Pro-mod (yellow), Jackson Soloist Custom (Yellow), Jackson SL2H-V Natural, Gibson LPS DB, Gibson LPS EB, Gibson LPCC C, Charvel Model 2 (scalloped), Jackson DK2M (white), Charvel Journeyman, Fender Classic Player 60's strat, Carvin C66, Musikraft strat mutt, Warmoth Strat mutt, Fender MIM Jazz bass, Epiphone Classical, Takamine parlor.

Re: New here
Awesome! =)
It's so cool when you find an instrument that old that is virtually mint.
I was eyeing a 650XL in desert crackle for a while - it had just been laying in its case since it was new, and was totally original and minty. But...the store owner knew what he had, and as I was waiting for it to drop in price, someone snagged it. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]Comment

Re: New here
The problem with closet classics is the price but you get what you pay for. I paid too much (350) but I couldn't have got a better guitar for that. It was that mint, with Logo case! I plan to keep it 440 and use it for teaching and home practice(I keep my KE-1F 440 also). I have a Jackson custom shop(on the JUsa board) and a Journeyman tuned to C for the band.
