    I think you've confused things a little.

    First there was the Charvel Model 6 (1986-1988); This is like a soloist, except with a non-recessed trem (Kahler in 1986, Jackson JT-6 in 1987-1988), and a non-sculpted heel. It was part of the "Model series", and had a guitar-shaped logo.

    Later there was the Charvel 650XL (1989-1991); Again, it's pretty much a soloist with a non-recessed trem (Schaller-made JT-590). It had a pull-up route under the trem, and had the "toothpaste logo". It is basically the same as a Model 6, but the upgraded trem alone makes it a better guitar IMO.

    You also have the Jackson Soloist Pro (1990-1995); Ebony fretboard, fully recessed trem (Schaller JT-590), with a Jackson inlaid pearl logo.

      Thanks for the clear explaination...so i'm looking for a charvel 650xl or model 6 with Jackson JT-6 trem ...
      But it's to hard to find.
      There is a 650xl here but i think that the price is high

          BUY IT!!! That is a really good deal for a 750XL, in pretty much any condition!

          Charvel 750XL:

          Body: Mahogany body with maple arch top.
          Neck: Maple set neck, 24 frets, rosewood compound radius fretboard, reverse MoP sharfins.
          Neck scale: 24.74" (Gibson)
          Binding: Neck and headstock.
          Hardware: Black.
          Bridge: Non-recessed Jackson JT-590 (made in Germany by Schaller).
          Pickups: 2 humbucking; Jackson J-80C (bridge), Jackson J-50B (neck).
          Controls: 1 vol, 1 tone, Jackson 5-way super switch.

          The closest Jackson you can find, is the "Archtop Pro". The Jackson had a recessed trem and an ebony fretboard, and the body was about a 1/4" thinner than the Charvel 750. Both the 750XL and the Archtop Pro are rather uncommon in Europe. Both are top-notch guitars.

              Good luck! If you manage to get it, you must post multiple high-res pics of it!

              I have a 750XL in Magenta finish, that I bought from the USA. It is the best playing guitar I've ever owned.
