  • Charvel 750xl

    Lets try this in the right forum not the USA one. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
    I just thought I would post some pics of my new to me 750XL.I seems to have been a while since a post about this particular guitar [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] . Anyway this was a ebay find and is good shape for its age.It has its fare share of nicks and brusies but is not bad over all.It needs a setup badly as the action is way to high and a good cleaning.It will also need to be rewired as it is a electrical tape special.I have only been able to play it though my V-amp.So far the EMG-HZs do not sound that bad.I will have to hear them through a amp to see if they stay or not.It supposedly came with a black Charvel Schaller but now has chrome Jackson trem.It has no recess for the trem so it looks like a later one serial is C9062xx and it is heavy.I am happy with it but it needs a litte TLC.The neck is straight and the frets are good so everything else is minor.The pics might not be to dial up friendly.

              750XL's are like Playmates. How often do you see a ugly one? Your Miss April is sweet. Enjoy

                Wow, the 750. I've heard a lot of cool things about this guitar, but I never saw one...

                      Doesn't look that beat up at all.. from your description, I was expecting chunks of missing paint.

                      Very cool

                          Thanks guys it is a sweet axe.I stripped it and will clean and rewire it it.I am ordering new pots and switch.I will replace the pickup rings(you have a PM Budman)and trem with a Jackson Schaller in black like orginal.

                          The pics make it hard to see the chips but they are there it has been played alot.I could always refinish it later on down the road.But now I just want to enjoy it.

                          Kev Mc about the flame it is rather strange it runs the lenght of the guitar not the width.It runs in a circle pattern more than anything.It is also a weak flame nothing like my SL2H .I will see if I can get it show up in some pics.

                            Another Cherry Burst w/ Floyd here.
                            I almost bought her twin string-thru the body.
                            I regret that sometimes.
