I just got this Charvel. Looking around here, it seems like it is an '88 3DR. I just think it looks cool.
Sorry for the crappy pics. I'll get some more up soon.
Thanks. I hope it was a score. I paid $225 for it. I'm just starting out with guitar (at 43 years old), so I don't know what you mean about the Duncan pickup and what needs repaired.
He meant that you have a large pickup ring on that pickup, leaving a bit of a gap between the ring and the pickup itself. It's an aesthetic thing, not going to affect sound or playability, so if you're just learning, no need to rush out to replace the ring. I'm not sure if it's a score or not, looks to be a decent deal. Learning on a Charvel is a nice luxury. I did the same with my '87 Model 4, back in '87. Much better than learning on a crappy knockoff whateveryoucallit.
Not to be picky, but it's a Charvel, and this is the import Jackson forum. I'm sure they'll move it for you...
Welcome to the Charvel/Jackson family.
Enjoy!!
No repair needed, it's just a visual thing. When the original pickup gets changed for a newer pickup, it usually leaves a rather big gap of air around the pickup. The guitar is perfectly fine. I should have kept my big mouth shut. Enjoy it!
