        It's not mine. But, mine is the same color. That trans-purple is really nice in person. I wish mine had a strathead instead of the Ibanez style.

            it is just me, or does that import neck plate not match that strat head 3/3 logo headstock?

            looks like somebody may have "created" a Charvel logoed strat head to go on that import body?

            educate me if I'm incorrect here.

                I had an import strathead I sold to fritzreiser, it had that plate, and that logo.I think it's one of those made for the Japanese market early 90's that we don't see many of.

                  Yeah, the neck looks like forgery. It's hard to tell from the 12th fret dots because of the angle, but it doesn't have the skunk stripe either, so...
                  The question is whether it's a Charvel at all - well, aside from the neck plate.

                  Awesome looker though! Beautiful finish!

                  Edit: Oh, there were stratheads for the japanese market? That opens entirely other possibilities.

                    the thing is if its a parts guitar why would the maker go to the tropuble of using the bog standard jackson pickups?

                      It's real, right down to the gold hardware and the Jackson pups. Mine doesn't have a stripe either and I missing the string bar, but the holes are there. The neckplate will just say "Charvel" with a stamped serial number.

                        That is fucking sweet. I love trans purple. The strathead just makes it even better.

                            I'm gonna guess that guitar is the first one listed here:
