Could anyone help me find out what my Model 2 Charvel is worth? I purchased it around 1986 new. It has a Kahler tremelo system, Pearl with with matching headstock and black hardware. It has USA plate and all original in near perfect condition.

Matching headstock? Can you post a picture or at least clarify whether your neck plate has a Fort Worth, TX address or San Dimas, CA address on it? The Model 2 should have a black headstock and the Ft. Worth plate. There were some Model 2s made for the Japan market that had matching headstocks, and they pop up sometimes. Otherwise, you might have a San Dimas Charvel, and that's a whole different ballgame. -
I sold my '87 / '88 Model 2 (MIJ) a few years ago for £350.00. Cost me £170.00 second hand with no case back in '88. Mine had a Floyd. Hope this helps!Comment

Is there any site on the internet that allows you to link to images on your computer? Has there ever been? I'm curious as to why people think this is possible, especially since it would be the single biggest security gap ever known.
You have to put your pictures online somewhere that allows you to link directly to them without viewers having an account for that service - that means Facebook is out since you can't see the pics unless you have a Facebook account.
Try something like Photobucket, or maybe your own website. They're dirt cheap.
Concerning the guitar:
-The serial number on the neckplate will tell a lot. Note that 0s are part of the number, so 0001234 is not serial #1234.
-Remove the neck and see what ink stamps or writing are on the heel of the neck and in the neck pocket. That will tell you if it's a Model 2.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

A San Dimas Charvel with pointy headstock, Kahler trem, & a regular paint job will usually go for somewhere in the $900-$1100 range. The matching headstock might make yours more desirable in an eBay auction. A maple fretboard (or ebony) instead of rosewood would also likely bring up the price. Like Newc said, the easiest way to post pics here is to set up a free account at photobucket, upload the pic, and link it here.

It is possible here, but you have to be a Platinum member, then just hit the "insert image" button. Sevenstring.org allows it, and I'm pretty sure you can do it on the Duncan Forum, too.Originally posted by Newc View PostI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Hope this works
It says 11-13-85
5817 DPH IR
USA
Cannot make out what the circled letters say. It does not say what model it is?
I purchased it in late 85' or early 86' can't remember.

Hmmm. Can't imagine why it says USA in the pocket and on the heel.
Other than that, it's definitely not a Model 2, as those were imports. Looks like a USA Charvel to me.
The circled letters are builder initials. DPH could be "<something> Painted Headstock", or some other internal code.
