charvel model 3.. how much will this one be worth?

[porsche928]

Hey, anyone ideas on how much this charvel will be worth? since im not really familar with charvel I tought, let's ask them




- basswood body
- maple neck , rosewood fingerboard
- jackson pups
- 5 way switch, volume en tone
- kahler tremelo & locknut
- black finish & hardware

It all seems in nice condition?

Thanks!!

Sounds like a 1986 Model 3.
The Kahler kills its value a bit.
My guess is somewhere between $200 and $275 depending on condition.

I'll have it ;-)

[porsche928]

OK, Thanks! the guy who's selling it asks 375 for it, but I see that is way too much

[porsche928]

I can get it for €300, Is it recommended? or should I buy something else?

[rjohnstone]

Only you can make that choice.
Play it... if you like it and feel it's worth the €300, buy it.
I'd say that is a fair price for the EU market.

Ok, thanks!, im just a little bit worried about the kahler, but I will see how it handles!

-Thanks again!-

Kahlers are good bridges if setup right! thats a pro kahler more like a jt-6 and harder steal, they stay in tune just as well also! that could just be my pain pills talking : ) I saw a white one like this (not in as good condition) sell for 270 ish not to long ago, no case. + shipping

Well, since you live in neitherlands, it looks like a nice deal, not the best but not the worst really. I got a red model 3 since with the kalher and i havent a lots of troubles with it (since the vibrato had frequently maintenance). It's really depend on the unit condition, you just need to take care of knifes, rust etc... Well like a floyd rose vibrato.
I saw a lot of people complaining about the kahlers but you need to understand that not everybody who purchased a model 3 in second hand got a kahler in nice condition.

For the price it's normal in Europe. I would say the price for a model 3 here is 300-400€.

Oh okay, i'm not so familar with kahlers.. but I heard they stay good in tune, same as floyd's?
Anyways, Thanks! I am going to test out the guitar soon!
