  • Model 3 HSH?

    Hi guys.
    Yesterday I picked up a lonely and uncared for Model series Charvel, but I'd like to know which model it is. I looks like a Model 3 with a maple fretboard and JT6 but it's HSH.
    I found a picture of the same model being sold in another shop (mine is not is as good condition as this)


    so I presume it's not just a mod. The website I got that picture from just calls it a "Charvel HSH".
    I did wonder if it could be a custom order for one of the big Japanese guitar shops (I am in Japan by the way) I think this was quite common at the time, it still happens with custom versions of Ibanez and Fender Japan.
    Has anyone come across one before?

    That is a model made for the Japanese market only. Here it is in the '89 Japan catalog (lower right of the page):
