Hello all,
I j#have to say that on browsing through the forums, not only am I impressed by the sheer depth of knowledge of members, but the friendlyness also. With these things in mind I wonder if you could help me identify the model of my Charvel?
I picked this baby up 14 years ago, and have never looked back. Being a left hooker, I find it hard to find Charvels that I can play as well as drool over! This one set me back £250 (around $400 in the day), and whether that was a bargain or a rip off, I don't care as I LOVE this guitar and will NEVER get rid of it.
INFO: The plate on the back of the bolt on neck tells me it was made in Fort Worth, and the serial number is 318974. There is a made in Japan sticker still on it, hence why I am posting in the import Charvel section. (in fact to me it would be an import regardless of being japanese or USA, as I'm in the UK
)
It has a Floyd Rose Trem, with the tuners on the back not the top (which is annoying!), and is in pretty good condition considering it was gigged for about 5 years solid. Standard tone and volume pots, and a 5 way switch adorn the front, along with 2 single coil pickups and a covered humbucker, all adorned with the beautiful Jackson logo, as are the machine heads.
PICS: I'm new to posting pictures so if these don't work I apologise in advance and will tell you that I'll do my best to get it to work, so here goes...







Apologies for the poor picture quality, I don't have a digital camera, and my BlackBerry only has a 2 Megapixel Camera
I'd apreciate any help on identifying this one, and for what it's worth, after spending 5 hours browsing this forum, I believ it might be a Model 3A?
EDIT: Meh, I cant get the images to show, so here are the URLs for them:
