  • charvel model 8

    would someone pls suggest a place where i can buy a pickguard for a charvel model 8 http://audiozone.dk/index-filer/char...rt-guitars.php

    also, does anyone have a model 8? how do the singles sound? i'm considering buying a model 8 for pretty cheap, but my past experience with a single in the bridge position tells me i'll hate it. supposed to have a je1200 in it (at least according to here: http://charvelusa.com/models.html ), which may boost it a bit but i think either someone ripped it out or it never had one (according to this site: http://audiozone.dk/index-filer/char...rt-guitars.php ).

    any thoughts on this?

          not according to the websites above... they both (model 8 and the spectrum) look the same to me :think:

          but if model 8 is supposed to be a tele body then i guess that makes sense. other wise the two models would be exactly the same guitar.

            IIRC, the Model 7 became the Legend.

              Grr! I'm confusing myself. The model 8 and spectrum are the same except for some minor changes. They changed the name from the model series to the contemporary.

                It's okay to be wrong sometimes Rich. I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                  do you know what the minor changes were?

                    It had to have some kind of active circuit in it if it had J200 pickups. J/C never used those without an active circuit, and they state right in the Electronics catalog that they shouldn't be installed without one. I'm pretty sure the Model 8 and the Spectrum both had the JE-1500 Para-Mid EQ rather than the JE-1200, fwiw.

                      The Model 7 (guitar logo) and the Legend (contemporary script logo) were both Teles.
                      The Spectrum (guitar logo) and Model 8 (script logo) were Dinkies with weird half-pickguards.

                        i called the store and they said that the electronic cavity doesn't have any battery or anything that looks like a circuit. but the guitar still plays. :think:

                        well, when i get it i'll see what the hell is going on with this guitar. if nothing else, it'll be a beater.

                        does anyone own one?

                            Correct! That's what I meant. How did I reverse them?
