Re: year identification please

I'd say about a '92 or '93

Re: year identification please

Correct me if i'm wrong, but, wouldn't '92 or '93 be after that series? I thought they were around '89-'91 when all the other toothpaste logo'd Charvel's came out... [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: year identification please

You may be right John but all I know is that in 91 the serial #'s were in the 33XXXX range so I figured 92 or 93 with a 36XXXX #. If it were a 91 that would mean they produced some 30,000 guitars that year. Is that possible? I dunno.

Re: year identification please

The years of production for the 475 DELUXE are 89-91.

There has been some contention to whether the serial numbering actually indicated any sort of year. It has been said that the numbering of any of the Charvels (model series or otherwise) really didn't indicate much. This is what I gathered from reading on the subject here on the JCF.

Re: year identification please

from what i found the 86- 88 model series (neck thru) the first # indicate year as in c 6xxxx is an 86 and so forth.
