Just Got Another Charvel - Need info on it (pics)

[Speiro]

My new toy arrived today, just give it a quick clean and some new strings. Can anyone tell me what model it is or any information about it at all. It's really heavy but not made of ply. The neck pocket is stamped Nov 18 1197 and the pocket end of the neck says Oct 30 1997.


There's more here

CS-20 Made in China. They were only made in 1996.

Any specs info, what they are made of etc and cost? Weird if they were only made in 96 that it's got 97 in the neck pocket and on the neck though.

There's no documentation that says that the 97 number in the pocket and neck are the year it was made. It's possible it's a coincidence.

Hmm, those dont look like die cast tuners. They look like the crummy ones with the stamped steel covers that you find on cheap imports all the time.

Unfortunately they are. It plays really well though. Anyone know what they are worth, how much they were new?

Sorry. I'm going by the documented source.
