Charvel help

[dstroud]

So I got this Charvel about 3 years ago. Getting ready to list it for sale. I cant recall the exact model. I did get it for like $650. I did chip some paint around the back plates switching pickups and string gauge. Any suggestions on a fair price? Can anyone identify the model? TIA

Looks like a San Dimas Promod, MIM.

Price wise, it’s probably in the range you paid.

I do believe that is a Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas MIM

 

[dstroud]

oh yeah it does say MIM

Yep, San Dimas. MINT, I'd say $650 is a stretch. I sold mine for $599 with a case. Sold my Jackson DK2 for $449. It was a Pro Series as well.

You're really at the mercy of the market today. I'd say count your blessings if you get $550. Any more, pack a lunch, and be ready to wait..

i hear you man. With the chipped paint I was actually thinking around $500 shipped.

Decent guitar though and definitely worth what you’re asking. JB/59, FR 1000, and the good ol Charvel neck!

500 shipped would be a killer deal, some RT bro will pay that.

It’s a 2016. Last good year for MIM in my opinion

I didn't know they had MiMs with good years...the first 2 yrs those guitars were straight garbage. Horrible compared to the MiJ and USAs prior. When I picked one up I was sure it was a Chinese clone it was so bad.

I did hear the recent ones have gotten much better.

seems like a decent guitar to me. plays and sounds great. but those back plates were impossible to get on and off, just not cut very good.
