The going rate up here is ~1500cdn, so I'd vote yes. I've been through 8 of them and never paid more than 800cdn with my last one being in 2018. Wishing I waited to sell them all lol.

Thanks dude, $800-$900 is what I felt would be reasonable…not sure how they get to $1,800

Guess I’ll just keep scouring the interwebs!

I watched Model 4s on Reverb for a while, and a Reverb seller in NY posted several Model 4s over time at ridiculous prices ($1600-$1800, IIRC). Apparently, others noticed and jacked their prices. It seems as if Model 6s are even more ridiculously priced. They are approaching 40 years old. I'd like to have a nice Model 4 or 6, but my money may be better spent on something newer

Well, I read the listing and it has "maximum stage presence"

..gotta say that sounds pretty worth it

1800 is crazy, but I havent seen a Model 6 under $1k in a while. I've been looking for a backup for mine and they seem to be selling at $1100-1300 these days, which is reasonable for a MIJ neckthrough guitar.
But yes 1800 is excessively high.

Thanks for this, much appreciated. I ended up going with a new MIJ Dinky which has been absolutely killer!

No chance it's worth that. Almost 2K for a MiJ Charvel model series? Even if it is neck through. You can find a 08/09 USA Pro Mod, or a Chubtone for that scratch.
Crazytown.

I kept a Reverb feed on them for about 6 months late last year and into this year. Really wanted one as it was my dream Guitar when I was younger. But at the time they were at least $1200 for beaters and up to around $1700 for good shape. I ended up settling for a Model 1A in great shape for about $600 from Chicago Music Exchange.

So unfortunately I think that $1800 if it’s in good shape is market these days.

Hell yeah man, the MIJ Dinkys are great. I have a MIJ DK2M that is an amazing guitar.

And the 87 Model 6

I LOVE MIJ Charvel/Jacksons. They're such an amazing value for the money (or for any price really, just straight up great shredders.)

In March 1989 when I got out of the Army, I bought a brand new Black Cherry Model 6. Loved that guitar. Until I bought a Hamer USA Centaura. That was the moment I realized USA stuff was a step up. Traded the model 6 for a 412, Mosvalve power amp and a GSP 21 processor. Ended up finding a model 4 for 150; that was my backup guitar along with an Ibanez RG 550.
Ah the good ole days.

Still remember when you could cop a used US soloist for that money or even less.

That’s a lot for that guitar, but you still may be crazy for all I know.

 

[shar-vell Dan]

Mint w/o a scratch would be $1200-1300 value.
Ultimately the price of something is whatever someone is dumb enough to pay.

 

[longfxukxnhair]

I watched a few of them pre 2019 and seemed the going price then was $700-800

I'd never pay more for a MIJ compared to a MIA.

I've noticed, with Fenders, people like to price MIJs high since they're more limited than a MIA that you can just find in Guitar Center but the reality is I never see them go for that much (always less than a MIA).

Carters prices are dumb. Everything is overpriced af. I just picked up a model 4 for $700. Killer guitar!
