i seen a charvel for sale today ,but i dont know what model it is.it had a bolt on neck 22 fret rosewood board, 1 hum 2 singles 5 way 1 vol, 1 tone.old style charvel logo. and the weird trem that has the fine tuners and the locking screw as the same part.i think its a good price of $175.00 canadian or about $133.52 for those who cant convert.oh ya it had the chip off the end of the headstock(just a small one only seen from the back). so what model is it?

Re: Model info

Model 4, built in '87-88. should have sharkfin inlays? A good price too. What are you sitting here for? Go an' git it!

Re: Model info

you can scratch what I said earlier. No way it's a Model 4. Not with a blade switch. M4s had mini-toggles.

So I believe it is a Model 3. That weird trem is a JT-6, which makes the guitar an '87 or '88. That's still a good price for it.

Although, Model 3s didn't come with that chip in the headstock as standard, so maybe it's some kind of Japanese Custom Shop model? [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Model info

If the chip is original it's a model 3CH

Re: Model info

just the standard headstock chip off the tip.about 1/2" at its widest point.kind of a triangle shape.

OWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Well, it's still a good deal, and if the chip is that objectional, you can prolly find a good deal on a neck.

Re: Model info

if its still there when i get paid on friday i'm going to grab it. like i said in my first post you can only see the chip from behind, not when you look at it str8 on from the front.

Re: Model info

If the front is not damaged you can cut a piece of maple shape it to fit or use wood filler to repair the chip.Thats a good price for a model 3.
Thats the one model series I've not had one of.Still looking.

Re: Model info

Yup model 3 i just sold mine along with my model 6. Im gonna miss those two. The 6 had the ti[p broken off when i got it bit didnt effect it's playablity or tone just looked odd. So i had a new tip put on and it looks original. Even replaced the binding zand matched the paint too.
The whole model series are great guitars but the 6 is extreme killer axe. (not as nice as my 750xl but just like my solists.)
For that money oid grab it.
