  • What model Charvel is this (pics included).

    I just bought this body assembly at a guitar show. The neck plate is serial number 238434.

    It's an '86 model 4.
    We must!
    We must!
    We must increase the bust!
    The bigger the better!
    The tighter the sweater!
    The boys are counting on us!

      Thanks! Now I have to decide if I want to bolt a neck on it or part it out.

        You could bolt on a neck to see if you like the way it plays, but if you're thinking of max $ sales out of it, part it out. You'll get more $ IMO.

        EDIT: BTW, I think it takes a 22 fret, 25.5" scale neck.

          Tis indeed a model 7. Lovely guitar! This is mine, or at least it's the same as mine.......



          Does anyone else prefer the Kahler trem to the Floyd? or have I just opened a huge can of worms?

[img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] Its a model 4, but I did have a model 7 before my model 4. Beautiful it was. Black with white binding. Maple fingerboard and reverse headstock. Wish I still had it [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

                  '87-'88 = fins and JT6

                  '86 M3 would be similar to the one pictured, except with a Kahler traditional trem and a 5-way switch. And I believe Black Cherry and Cobalt Blue were reserved for M4-6, but I'm going off memory and that was a long time ago.

                    Yup model 4. The model 3 had a 5 way switch and the M4 has the three on off switches and three knob. The third knob being the midrange boost which in this pic has been replaced by a splitter switch or something.
