Charvel Avenger question.

[DeathThrashAttack]

Hi, I got this dude trying to sell me a Charvel Avenger for $250.00. Is that a bad price? I really dont have any references because Ebay and Craigslist rarely gets any for sale.

I'm pretty good at haggling, so let me know what you guys would pay.
thanks

250.00 is'nt really bad if it's in nice shape, but explain to him, it has a single locking (cheaper) Floyd rose, and haggle him down.

And I think the pickups suck too. Aren't those 2 singles at the bridge? You will have to route out the body a little to put in a real humbucker.

I'd say if it was mint and had a case, I'd be all about it, but short of that, say in mediocre condition and no case, I'd say it's a $100 to $150 guitar tops...

yep. I agree w/ y'all. I owned one back when they were first issued. Did all mentioned here. End of day it was a piece of firewood. Just couldn't get a good tone out of it.

Yea those are two Jackson J-100's I believe. I had an Avenger a while back and sold it on ebay. Actually someone on here bought it from the buyer I sold it to.
Nice guitars, but the pickups suck, and the trem sucks, but it is a very nice starting point for some upgrades and then it'll be a screamer!
I sold mine for $250 about 3 years ago. $200.00 to $250.00 seem to be the average for a decent one.
Go for it!
Kind of looks weird upside down though!
