Man I want that neck!!!!!
This is a rare and exciting find. Unlike a pre-CBS custom color Strat, or first year PRS, a lot of you won't get it, but among Charvel/Jackson collectors and players, this is up there. Although not a Strat headstock, it's still a rare San Dimas production (#4987) with a cool factory graphic, and a NAMM show guitar just for good measure. A number of old Charvel/Jacksons never make it to the site, like this '83 Strat head I sold early this year but I wanted to give every one a shot at this one rather than a small mailing list of collectors who usually get first dibs. This one appears to be all original, in beautiful shape, only a few minor finish chips (shown here) down to the white base coat. As shown on copy of build sheet (pic here), features include Strat body, aircraft camouflage graphics with "XG-3", "Warning" and some blood drips, with Jackson J-50N and J-50B pickups and a single volume control with 3-way selector, Kahler Pro tremolo, and, the coolest feature of all, the fantastic Charvel maple neck with black headstock and gold logo with oil finish - a neck than many feel is the most comfortable neck ever made. The more you play them, the better they feel and you'll note in this pic, we haven't cleaned it, as most players consider this a sacrilege. You'll also note some nice flame in the maple, which is just icing on the cake. The original USA (San Dimas) Charvels are fairly rare, with less than 5500 made during their 8-year production and these were custom order guitars. When I was working at Hotlicks, customers would walk into the store, fill out a spec sheet, we'd send it off, and then 6 months later their Charvel would show up. I found an excellent site for these wonderful guitars, usacharvels.com, with loads of pictures and info. They have reissued the San Dimas models, although I haven't seen any graphic finishes, and they sell for around the same price as the real thing. Own this absolutely killer player, in a rare graphic, for just $1950(HOLD-Edward). Includes a Fender-style case with black tolex, leather ends, and white stitching.
