Another "What's this" Question

Hi all, Bambozaled by this Charvel...what is it??

[rjohnstone]

That was a Spectrum.
Looks like someone replaced the toothpaste logo with the older style logo.

[levantin]

And removed the pickguard and damaged the end of the headstock.

Looks like shit.

[VitaminG]

added a couple of stickers and removed the knobs & switch cap too.

If the logo is original, and the colour of the headstock suggests it might be, that would be a Model 8. The precursor to the Spectrum. Damn shame what they've done to it.

Just checked the auction pics. Looks legit to me.

[XxKilgannonxX]

So how much is it worth?? Is it any good?

[Frigo89]

it depends, it is cosmetically beat to shit, but looks like it has been played alot, which isnt a bad thing

[Tekky]

G is spot on. For sure a rarely-seen Charvel Model 8. It has definitely seen better days.

Value... I'd say it's diminished because of the condition for sure.

[rjohnstone]

I totally forgot about the Model 8.
Definitely explains the logo.
Too bad it's in such poor shape.

Sweet thanks guys. I've never heard of a Model 8 before...
Good to find out more about the 80s

Funnily enough, there was another recent thread about the Model 8.
