Please help me identify this Charvel-strat

[frankundlijn]

Hi Guys,
I ran across a nice charvel strat here in the Netherlands. It's a pure strat-shape body with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard and a black point headstock. It's a japanese charvel (i think, certainly no US Charvel). Pick-up figuration is H-S-S. The white body has a black pick-guard. I have searched the forums and other resourves but couldn-t find any further info. (Long Live the resurrection of the MOAIP!).
Could you please help me out?
Frank

More info would be good. Bolt on neck? Inlay type? Binding? Logo type? Tremolo?

possibly a Model 3A? Does it look like this? (apart from the added OFR, pickup rings, neck humbucker)

Re: Please help me identify this Charvel-strat

Thanks for the info! I think it's a model 3A, only, without the pick-up rings and the neck-humbucker. How does it play? Would about 175 Euro (175 USD) be a good price for it?

Yes. 175E = $207 US. In Holland, that's a good price, especially if it comes with a case. Charvel Model series are highly under-rated guitars. Get it.

HSS config with a pickguard is a Model 3 from 1986. It should have the Kahler fulcrum tremolo if it is completely stock.
