Well, I picked it up today. Overall it's in pretty good shape for a 20+ year old guitar that has somehow lost it's HSC. Man I never understand what people do with these original HSC, I still have mine for my 90 375 DX? Oh well, back to the model #2. Reason I wanted one is I purchased a new model 3 in the electric blue back in mid 1988, $375 out the door with the HSC, I kept it for 11 months and sold it to get a Fender HM Strat because it said Fender. Oh what a horrible mistake that was. I found a used model 2 in black with loaded with an EMG and went with that for about a year since I could not find any new Charvels. Well 1990 rolls along and I picked up a new metallic black 375dx with case for $450 out the door, still have it today : )
Well I always wanted a model series again, but I did not want a #3 because my 375 has a SSH config, Two weeks ago I picked up a 1989 Charvel 750XL locally so now I had the holy grail Charvel, Still looking for a electric blue # 2, saw some on-line but not in the condition I wanted. Well one came up on the "bay" and the seller lives 15 miles from me.
So here she is:

Sorry the pics are a little dark.
There are no dents, the headstock point is perfect, the top near perfect, there are some very light picking marks, and few hairline scratches on the surface of the clear that you can only see in the right light and at the correct angle. There is some very light buckle scuffs, in the clear only, no wood damage or color damage, I may have these color sanded an buffed out, you can only see them with the right lighting conditions, the size of a silver dollar, just above the trem cover.
The strings looked 20 years old!! The bridge is in great shape, the frets wear in minimal, but they could use to be polished. I just need to get a trem arm for the JT-6 trem and find a case. What are people doing with the original cases??? I will post better photos later.
All for the $305. It plays awesome as expected!
This will not fit in my Model 375 case? The body is too big. Oh the HSC saga continues.
