Just moved into the Charvel neighborhood

[greenskeeper]

Finally got a few pictures at the bottom. Been lurking for the last couple of weeks and I am impressed with the forum. Everybody is willing to help those that are just getting into Charvels. I bought a Model 3A at the pawn shop, great condition, and had it set-up last week. This is the first electric I have owned, always acoustic before. As soon as I figure out how to put a picture in, I will show you what I got for $150.00. Two Jackson humbuckers, original Floyd Rose, great sound. I even found Budman and ordered a trem bar and a back spring cover. He is the man. Anyway, thanks for all the help and thanks for having us new guys feel so welcome. Now if I can just not break any rules, you guys are brutal in that department!! See ya around.

Welcome Green, from one newb to another.

welcome! Congrats on the new axe. I've always fancied a 3A. Got a thing for Model series Charvels, and for 2 hum guitars. The 3A brings both together

Welcome man, I examined your post thoroughly but dammit, I can't find any errors or rules you broke! You're not any fun, greenskeeper!

Seriously, congrats on the 3A.

This is a great place to hang man, lots of great people here.

[greenskeeper]

Thanks everybody for the kind welcome. OK, so things got off to a good start eh Jackson1. Good. Vitamin, with over 6000 posts, I take it I got a pretty good guitar. Still don't know how to post a pic, but I'm watching. AZ, UFO, thanks for the welcome. Same thing I said to you too, donf.

My first Charvie was a Model 3, HSS...I traded a MIJ Strat for it in 1987. It was white with a black pick guard. Ended up putting an EMG 81 hum, dummied the middle pup and an EMG 85 single and a 3 way switch. It had a Kahler Tremlo. It was rode hard and put away wet giging intil I sold it in 1997. Man I miss that guitar. I also had a Model 6 w/dot inlay neck thru as well with Jackson Active 'buckers and a Jackson trem. Great guitar as well. It was my budget Soloist, I gave $300 for it in 1994.

Peace

welcome, Mr. green, the 3A is a fantastic guitar and is a solid player.

txrob: sounds like you had a Model 5 instead of a Model 6. The 6 had sharkies and the 5 had dots and 2 hums. I think I've owned just about every Model series (made for america (no, not in america lol!) and I've yet to be disappointed!

[greenskeeper]

Thanks Budman, and I appreciate the parts. Very quick, very painless.

Good to hear txrob. I think I'm gonna like this one.

[greenskeeper]

Finally got some pictures up!

[JZ06]

Nice one!!

[greenskeeper]

JZ-Your avatar looks a lot like these pictures. It's kinda small and can't see it too well. What is that? Looks like maple neck and a couple of humbucks?

Ｎｉｃｅ score greenskeeper.

I used to have a couple of Model 3A's. They were both killer players.

Although I let them both go (to two different JCF members), here are a couple of pics.

[greenskeeper]

The paint on those looks outstanding. Like the maple fretboard too. So, they are still floatin' around here somewhere, huh? Maybe they'll show up again!
