<font color="aqua">in the first pic of the red model 6, I kinda wish they actually made the single coil routes like that.......ah well, funny how the design changed, probably because their single coil sized humbucker pickups would have looked a little dumb in there since they didn't have "lips".

I would still love to know if they ever completed any Model 6's with those routes in the beginning. </font>

I'm surprised to see the straight down line of the control knobs of the Model 5. I haven't seen any like that and I have 2. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

<font color="aqua">Paul, there were a lot of design changes after this catalog was made. If you'll notice the pickups rings(humbuckers w/o covers) are not the larger size like we normally see on the model series as well. I'd love to know the stories behind some of these..... </font>

My 86 Model 5 was my only guitar for 15 years. I then bought a Les Paul off my buddy I the first thing I remember noticing was how skinny the PUPs seemed to be compared with my Charvel.

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed that. I like the angled layout of the Mods 4 &amp; 6 much better than the straight down the line layout. I'm glad they made the change to the Mod 5 before production.

Thanks! You answered most of my questions before I could ask them. Ever seen a serial number database? Trying to trace numbers for authencity. <font color="green">:headbang:

Re: Anybody want to see a 86 Charvel Catalog....Pics!!

there is no serial number database for import Charvels. re: the authenticity of your guitar, are you concerned that someone is faking $300 import guitars? Post some pics - folks here will tell you pretty quick whether it's a 'genuine' Charvel or not. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Anybody want to see a 86 Charvel Catalog....Pics!!

I am sooooooo uninformed. I love my guitar and got it for next to nothing but I have been misinformed until I found this site. I through out 3 posts to see what I could find out. I don't even know it's an import. I'll borrow a camera this weekend to post pics. Jackson made 300$ neck-throughs?
