Re: Charvel Avenger

They are no longer being made. Production of the Avenger ended in 1991.

Was there much difference between the Jackson and the charvels besides the pickup routing?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">[img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Yeah, pretty much. I've "bastardizing" guitars since I was 13(now 37) if I remember correctly( [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] )

Re: Charvel Avenger

If it is in good shape, playability on these is very good. I own a fusion special which is essentially the same guitar, just dinky shaped. However, the pickup layout leaves much to be desired. I found it difficult to get a good beefy lead tone from the stock stacked HB's. Also the Single locking trem is a piece of garbage. You will want to route out the bridge slot for a full HB, and replace the bridge with an OFR or similar double locker. WIth all the mods, you might be better off getting one of the Jap made rhoads from Jackson.
