Re: Late SD Charvels/Early SD Jacksons

LOL!!This is ridiculous!!

It has a San Dimas "Charvel" neckplate with a San Dimas "Charvel" serial #,if you look up that serial # it's an 86' San Dimas "Charvel" serial # not an 86' "Jackson" serial # which imo means it's a f'n CHARVEL,doesn't matter what part was made first or last!!I even have a workorder for mine & it says on the workorder "Charvel" not "Jackson"!!LOL!!

Why did they have Jackson logos? Because J/C was being practical, and used up the remainder of the Charvel logos before starting in on Jackson ones.

But why did the LATE serial Start heads still have the Charvel logos if they were all used. Obviously they (Jackson) did not run out of Charvel logos - it is interesting that the LATE strat heads still bear a Charvel NOT Jackson logo and the LATE pointies bear a Jackson NOT Charvel logo.

it's all about the logo...and as kevin pointed out earlier, the two lines were very separate until the IMC deal.

charvels will be worth more, because they are what we all wanted...a soloist was, and is, a completely different animal.

you can't judge by numerical rarity. if that were true, you would see '67 strats worth more than a '59 or '63 strat!!!

early charvel guitars will go through the roof in the next 10-15 years. i used to get the Guitar Trader catalogs in the late 70s...i was buying pre CBS strats ALL DAY LONG for $400-$500...then they went up to $1,000...we are at THAT POINT right now in Charvel-world.

it will not be long before SD Pointies are $5K, and legit, original stratheads are $15K or more...i don't know of any for sale less than $5K right now....

i am really falling in love with my '85 SD Pointy maple neck right now. it reminds me of all the reasons why i loved these guitars to begin with. i don't know why i stopped playing them (other than the 86 Jacksons that turned me off to the guitars for a while)

with all that being said....early Jackson logo SD bolt ons are an incredible value for the $$$...and if they had the Charvel logo, add $1K :-)

i have ruffled some feathers before discussing the inevitable rise of prices in this market. but it's gonna happen. i don't like it too much either, as i am primarily a player...and would like to get a couple more before they are too expensive. but what other guitars do you know of from the 80s era that are going to be regarded as classics like the san dimas charvels??? hmmm?????

san dimas charvels are the pre-CBS strats of the next decade.

true california custom hot rods. none better, and no one else ever came close. SD charvels go to 11 [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Late SD Charvels/Early SD Jacksons

The one thing that will determine the value of Charvels in the future is how well Jackson does. If Jackson can gain the household name status that Charvel once had, then they'll probably go much higher. Desirable rarities will always be worth some scratch, but old Fenders and Gibsons are worth that because they ARE the household names for guitars that EVERYONE knows. Ask anybody off the street what a Charvel is, and most likely 95% of the people you ask will not know. What that means is that they might never break out of their cult status. What that means... you'll probably never see a $50,000 Charvel in your lifetime, unless something like Eddie's original Frankenstrat or Vai's Green Meanie come up for sale. I'm sure Holdsworth's personal favorite Charvel wouldn't even hit $10,000.

Um .. Didn't one or two of the EVH art series go over $20k?

Re: Late SD Charvels/Early SD Jacksons

Yeah, but that's only because EVH painted them and the winners would be in the running for the Harley.

How much has one of those sold for since the harley was given away?
