  • What's model is this Charvel?

    Hello,

    Made in Japan, not Taiwan.
    Can't place the model for sure though... looks like a Model 3 variant.
    Beautiful neck!

        Not any more you don't. And this is now moved to the Import Charvel section instead of the Import Jackson section.

          I don't recall any of the import Charvels having that jack location. All of the pickguarded guitars I can find in the catalog scans have a side mounted jack, so this is weird. I wonder if maybe it's made of assorted parts & a Charvel neckplate? Either that, or maybe it's a Japan-market guitar.

              Well, as I said in the "other" thread, nothing about it looks Charvel to me. Mainly the 11 screw pickguard (All Charvels that I remember had 8). Yes, that could have been changed, but also the trem wasn't anything Charvel used. Also, the ST and STX both had top mounted jack plates, but they also had two angle mounted single coils in the bridge. The Japanese only STs did have a similar trem, but still an 8 screw guard. Who knows.

                      Read the first post... he says the neck was changed.

                        What makes you think its a charvel. Does it say it on the neckplate or trem? Was the old neck a pointy?

                          I guess he's going on what the neckplate says.

                          After looking at the pic more closely, I doubt there is anything about this guitar, other than the neckplate, that is Charvel.

                              You're right, this is guitar made in Japan. It have 2 coils alnico from american strat and custom humbucker which have a really strong sound. Floyd Rose by Schaller. Inscription "Fender" on head was stuck by previously owner.
                              Who know which model of Charvel is this guitar?
