Better than a Fender....

[80'sThrasher]

So what is this Charvel I got anyways?
It's got a body like a strat,right down
to the 3 singlecoils and "vibrato"-type
tremelo.Except I put a bridge Hum and
Kahler to improve it.Naturally it has the
white "guitar" logo,and the neck is 22-fret on maple fretboard.When were these made?Beat up but I dig it still...

Sounds like a Model 1A to me. Something like this?

Not something LIKE that...Exactamundo!
That's just like mine,same color too.
Mine's somewhat different now 'cause of the mods done of course.When I got it the bridge single already had a Hum in it's place,with a pickup ring screwed to the
pickguard(weird way to do it but works
alright I guess)though it was a crappy one so I put my own Full Shred in.The Shred's okay but I'd prefer something ballsier perhaps.I also took out the
bottom Tone control and put a coil split
mini toggle there(don't really need 2 Tone knobs anyway,one master tone is fine)so the guitar is far from stock
nowadays.I filled in the old spring cavity on the back with a piece of Maple,
but I don't think that really added much
to the weight,it was already heavy as
a mug.
