My new crackle finish charvel...

[rgto]

Hey everyone, My name's Ryan and I'm a new member to the forum and I just picked up a screamin' deal of a Charvel! It's a white crackle finish, s/s/h, jackson active p/ups, schaller floyd with 'charvel' stamped on it, bound sharkfin 22 fret neck w/toothpaste logo 'Charvel' on the head stock. I got this pound puppy for $85 at a local pawn shop this afternoon!! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] Am I correct in assuming that this is probably an early 90's model 475? Seems like a great guitar and like the Charvel equivalent of my RG 570. Also, the toothpaste logo charvels came after fender took over, right? Thanks for the info guys!!

Fender just took over this year, so the toothpaste logos far predate Fender.

Sounds like you do indeed have 475. $85 is a screamin' deal on a 475, congratulations.

Welcome to the board!

Screamin deal. 475's were Japan made '89-92 I believe. Desert Crackle is a nice finish..I have seen it on a 375 but not a 475. I can't believe what these guitars are going for!
