NGD: Charvel Surfcaster (tremolo) in Trans Red

[SignoftheDragon]

I think it's due to the uniqueness and rarity, both traits that tend to result in higher prices. Surfcasters don't show up on ebay all that often and when they do, they are either snatched up immediately if the price is palatable or they don't sell because the seller is asking for an absurd price, but even those get sold sometimes. In terms of features, the Surfcaster has a premium set, full neck+headstock+body binding, sharkies, 24-ish frets, premium pickups, high quality floating bridge, roller nut, semi-hollow, etc. They certainly feel like a premium instrument and one that I am completely happy to pay for.

There are countless guitars that look like model 4's, very few that have the timeless aura of the Surfcaster.

Yep.

Excellent score! I dig the flame in the maple top- the angled split looks amazing. Welcome to Surfcaster ownership- believe me, it's an addiction! (I have 4 surf12s at the moment)

Cheers!

Oh man. I know. I'm always on eBay and craigslist trying to sniff out a good deal on another 6 string. One day I'd love to get a 12-string but I haven't the need for one yet. I've seen like a sparkle midnight blue finish that I'd love to get my hands on.

Nice score!

What kind of cases are you guys using to house these bad boys? I just picked up a cheapo Skatecaster and it doesn't fit in any of mine.

I'd always hoped there would be no Coffin Cases in my future.

Recommendations?

Just buy a Gator case that will fit.Problem solved.

I also just throw it in a Gator case and it's a fine sturdy case. I think it might be my favorite case.
