  • Identification Help For a Imported Charvel

    Hi Everybody

    First of all, sorry for my horrible english, i'm from Italy; I'll try to be as clear as possible

    I would like to have some more information on a beautiful Charvel that I am going to buy; It should be a 375 1C Shredder, Silver Sparkle color, made in Japan and produced between the late 80s and early 90s.

    Unfortunately, by doing some research, i can not find information on this model and I would therefore be happy if you could tell me something about the guitar!

    I would like to know the exact year of production of the guitar, the type of wood used, hardware and if the informations about the the model are correct.
    Anything you can tell me about the guitar is welcome

    The serial of is 346833, i include some photos of the guitar

    P.S. : in the picture, the neck pickup and the bridge humbucker have been substituted; I will buy the guitar with the original Jackson branded pickup.

    Welcome! Great looking 375.

    Here are two resources that mention the specifications of the 375.

    Search for "375" on those websites.

      Wow, thanks for the reply

      I knew this http://charvelusa.com/models.html, but i had never seen audiozone.dk (nice page!)

      So, we can say that it is a 375 for sure, not deluxe, that mounts a floyd JT-590 (I confirm, I saw the guitar), H-S-S configuration (jackson branded); The only information I can not find is about the color (is silver sparkle the exact one?) and the precise production date (from '89 to '91).

      What do you think, what would be a fair price to buy it?

        Platinum Sparkle would be a 91+, if I recall correctly. This finish usually commands a premium. So take an average 375 price, add 25-50% more.

        The 650XLs with this paint sell for over a grand when they show up.

            Hi

            Thank you all for the info; the seller asks 400€ (469$), I took some time to think about it

                Probably should have started your own thread so more would see it.
                I'm new to the Charvel scene, but looking at the 90-91 catalog it seems to be either a Charvel St custom, St deluxe or a STX Custom.
                They have different bridges so that may help narrow it down. Im just not familiar enough with them to know what the different bridge routs look like.
                Im sure someone more knowledgeable will be along with answers.
                Good Luck
