Help ID my Guitar

[bxr222]

I bought a Charvel import bolt-on around 1990 or 1991 from a local guitar shop. This guitar has served me faithfully since then. I never bothered to find out what model it was or any other info. Here are some pics.

Hi RacerX,
Not sure why you can't see the pics. Pics are hosted by my company's web server. Pics show up on 5 other computers I have tried. I also used standard ubb encoding. Is anyone else having trouble?

I see them fine. She looks like a 375 Deluxe to me but, I never seen one in that finish.

Yes, that is a 375, but what happened to the hum in that first pic where the bezel is missing? And where's the vol knob?? And where's the damned switch knob??? Inquiring minds want to know [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I have it removed to fix a wiring problem. I have a post or help in the Tech forum. I have low output from the humbucker and a green wire without a home.

Volume knob was lost about 4 years ago. Switch knob was lost about 2years ago. I am also missing the control plate on the back. Any idea where these parts can be found? Thanks again.

You should be able to find most of the original restoration parts at: www.charveljapaneserestorationparts.com
If they can't help you then I don't know. Wish I could be more help...really.
