[destructin_od]

What exactly is this? I know it is a Model 4. But can you tell me where is it made. USA or japan? I dont know much about charvels.

Looks like a model 4.The back cover plates are for a DX10 the model 4s should be recessed.The model series were made in Japan 86-88.The neck plates have the corporate address only.

Did charvel used real mop for model 4? I saw some model 4's and they had real mop. I just cant tell buy looking at the pictures.

Wow that guitar has a huge gap at the neck/body joint! (what part is that called exactly on a guitar?)

Side note: i love the fact the import charvels say "Fort Worth TX". When importing them to Canada from USA sellers, we don't pay duty because it doesnt say "made in ___overseas___"

I don't see a gap I think you are seeing a shadow.

[VitaminG]

yea, that just looks like shadow from the fretboard shelf

Is that guitar really as nice as it looks in the picture?
Cause other than the dust it looks really nice!!

Ah you guys are probably right! I meant gap as in height-wise, not gap "away from the pickup".. I looked at my other guitars, and came to the conclusion;
1) my spectrum has a pickgaurd, so the fretboard gap probably sits underneath it.
2) my ESP's have a molded fretboard ending. (no clearance between body and fretboard wood)

Am i making sense now?

The "gap" is normal.
Looks like a very clean Model 4, and yes, the sharkies are real MOP.

Beautiful snag. Man, this isn't helping me miss my 86', any less...

The space between the fretboard overhang and the body is due to the fact that this has a non-recessed trem, so the neck is angled back and the strings are higher off the body. People who are used to recessed trems (or v-trems) are sometimes surprised to see how high the fretboard can be above the body on an axe with a non-recessed trem.
