Looks like a very nice '87-'88 Model 2.

As to mods they are pretty sweet guitars stock. I have a Model 2 mutt that I love. It has a Schaller Floyd, Bill Lawrence L-500XL pickup and a Model 4 neck on it (I like sharkies). Customize it however you like.

i thought to swap the PU for a Seymour Duncan JB and make the mod in the neck space for a single (dimarzio HS3)... the bridge can wait a little bit more.

swap the pup and the bridge if you must.. but dont butcher it.. these guitars should be sacred ;-)

I have never seen a Model 2 in that color. According to the Catalog scans that color wasn't available till 88. I like it and it look s pretty clean to me.

Nice Model 2! I think in '88 they had the recessed trem cavity cover. looks like Jt6 tuners to me. post some better pics. If it turns out to be the original paint/color then I say don't butcher it. If not hack away!

looks stock to me.. leave it alone.. or sell it and buy something with a pup config you want...

That's definitely a JT6. Look at the tuners and their stick-out-the-back-of-the-trem-ness.

That thing appears to be in great condition. Nice buy!

[Hikshredd]

Actually... the catalogue from audiozone mentioned the color as "Bungurdy Mist" the trem is a JT6 no recessed cavity.


anyways... what i like most of this guitar is this kind of "popping attack" i guess due to pocket neck and really less contact of the bridge with the guitar body. right?
well im just guessing...

[sacredgruvn]

post a pic of the back of the body. are the covers recessed?

[Hikshredd]

No resseced back...

87? 88?

anybody knows?

Burgundy mist wasn't available until 88. But the differences between the Model 2 for either year are so miniscule it really doesn't matter.

I have a Model 2 that plays just fantastic. The only mod I made on it (which is totally reversible to make it stock again) was putting in an EMG 81 pickup. I plays better than ANY OTHER Charvel or Jackson guitar I have. I say keep it stock, don't cut it up.
