Charvel Identification

You'll always have to add a disclaimer at the bottom letting the viewer of the info page know that there were some variations in production and that this can only be used as a guideline.

You are right ! I added that on top of the model-page.

That's a good point ... Good job your new site, Franx!

... which wouldn't exist without audiozone.dk

outstanding job! looking at all the amazing models, it amazes me they went the way of the dinosaurs.... They kill what is out there now.

Absolutely right ! By photoshop-ing all these model-pics, I realized that huge number of great guitars; and if I had the chance to pick one, it would take weeks to decide, which model I'd want !

And thanx again to Henrik (Jackson1) for using his stuff - permission assumed

Who als deserves a bit of credit is my buddy Jochen Schmidt (he's not a member here) who originally compiled this list for a German guitar forum. You took this list and translated it. A nice addition are the pics!

You are right ! I mentioned that in the "Grunt Work" thread a week before I transformed it into this website.

I'm keeping my eyes open for an 850XL(Bass)..maybe some of these(Charvel Basses) would eventually make the list??!.

I already thought about a "Bass-section" - maybe I'll find the time ...

Awesome job man!
One thing I noticed is that the pickup configuration that you noted for the 1986 Model 3A (pickguard model) was HH. This may have been true I guess (different configs for same model thru same year??), but I know that mine is HSS with all of the correct Jackson p/u's. And a quick scan on Ebay backs my thinking that all of the 1986 3a's were HSS.

According to the catalog-scans at audiozone.dk the Model 3 was H/S/S and the Model 3A was H/H:



Having a pickguard and a pool route made it pretty easy to modify;
so this might explain different Model 3/3A configurations !
