Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle

It's really easy, Dana.

just use the "image" button and list the url in the box! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm getting anoyed that I don't have a firecrackle guitar yet.

BB told me the other night how to do it.

Maybe I'll try it on my Model 6 that STILL hasn't arrived yet...

Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle

Okay 2Loud...I'll try it like that. I have no problem posting pics on the Dean Forum using that technique...(well, actually I copy and paste the URL between the IMG brackets) but it didn't work when I tried it here.

Your Model 6 STILL isn't there yet? What the heck is going on??

Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle

Hey 2Loud2Old make sure you try the Fire Crackle method on a test piece first!!

GF Make sure when you paste it between the brackets that there are no spacesbetween the url and the brackets.

I really want to see your M3 Fire Crackle

Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle

According to the info I have Brad I believe your guitar is a 1988 model.

Model 4 series produced from 1986-1988

The body wood is basswood.

1986 - Kahler Fulcrum Trem was used, dot inlays on neck.
1987 - JT6 Trem was introduced.
1987 - Sharkfin inlays were introduced.

Firecrackle was offered in 1 year only, 1988.

Now, most of this information I've gathered from a combination of catalogs and remnants of the MOAI pages.

Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle

Cool I asumed it was a 1986 because it was stamped
M 4-6 in the neck pocket. The neck only had the 4 stamped on the end of the heel. So I wonder how many were made and mif was a special order. Excellent info Thanks. BTW thanks for the schematic I've got some rewiring to do but a least all the original elctronics is there and working.

Thanks

Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle


Here is my Model 3DR Firecrackle. Sorry for the crappy pic. It's one I already had taken. I should take some better ones. This pic does not show the reversed headstock. Also, the guitar is darker than it appears here. The flash washed it out.

Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle

Sweet GF I have never seen a M3 Fire Crackle Take a better PIC I will take yours mine and Budmans and post a collage. I could use a better pic of yours. Like I said before wouldn't it be cool to have the whole model series in Fire Crackle I wonder if there is a Model 1&2 done this way?

Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle

Hey Dana, that is a sharp 3DR!. If ya get a pic of the whole thing (front and back)put it up ok? I also know what you mean about the color getting washed out. Unless you have decent quality camera, it's not easy to get a true representation of the color variations on these paint jobs. In any case, that's a beauty!

Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle

Told you I was new at the Charvel Identification GF indeed a model 3 DR. Do they make a Model 3 with HSS with 5 way blade config passive I saw one a while back and was told it was a Model 3 it had small logo. Looked like a 375.

Thanks BB

It's a Model 5fx.

Re: Model 4 Fire Crackle

I see now that it isn't a 5 fx. 22 fret bolt on. I didn't look close enough.
