  • Is this a Charvel?

    There is some discussion on another forum as to whether or not this guitar is a Charvel.
    Someone stated that they have the video clip and can see the Charvel logo on the headstock.

    I tend to believe that it is more likely to be a Custom Built guitar, or possibly a "special order" from Charvel.

    I'm guessing that photo was taken in the early to mid 80's, and from my experience, I know that it was very rare to see a Charvel with a rosewood fingerboard during that era.
    Plus, all the Charvel striped guitars I've seen from that era were all striped different and never done as "accurate" as the paintjob shown in this photo.

    Of course, I could be wrong on all accounts.
    What do you guys think?

    Yup,that's a legit San Dimas Charvel!!That's Tom McDermott from the Rick James Band,he was in the "Success...." Charvel ad!!

    & there were many early-mid 80s Charvels w/rosewood fretboards too(all Charvels from that era were custom orders),check the Gallery for pics!!

    (& thanx for the cool pic)
