I got a nice deal 320 euros for a neck through -single blackout pickup model 5a charvel! I'm so excited as I was told that they are really quality instruments and they usually go for more than 600 euros. Has anyone owned - tried one?
 
You can expect a really nice neck! If the frets aren't too worn, you made a killer score.
 
Perfect! Yeah the price was so damn tempting! It was originally listed for 400. The condition of the frets look really good!
 
That's a great deal...I see the Model 5-6 neck thru going for 7-800 when I see them. A new model 6 was my second 'real' guitar back when I was 18 or so...purple with the sharkfins and active circuitry. Sweet player...only thing I'd change on them is the finish on the back of the neck. I'm so used to the bare wood of my USA Charvels that I'd probably want to sand off the finish lol...
Congrats on the score!

Thx a lot man! Obviously its not all original but the neck alone will definitely worth it! Here it is

Had one (5A purple firemist or something). Top mounted floyd...great neck. Mine had a locking nut behind the "nut", which drove me crazy. A little picky on PuPs to sound good.

Nice to hear that! Mine will come with a duncan blackout!
 
Looks badass, but I'd swap the Blackout for something cooler

Any suggestions? I am into 80s 90s thrash and death

Schecter Sunset Strip, not super hot but aggro and lovely for 80's stuff. Otherwise the San Andreas is huge sounding.

MCP Afwayu is a badass fat organic monster. Too fat for some.

BKP, I'm not an expert, some may chime in to tell you a thing or two about them.

Duncan Distortion.

Before you buy anything, I'd give that Blackout of time.
 
I have been craving another dimarzio super distortion. I love them. I am toying with neck pickup options and am leaning towards a breed.

Sweet! I am excited to see it. You have me gassing for one.
 
If you need a hard case The GC in Totowa NJ has an original Charvel chain saw case in nice shape for $5.

Haha really??? Yeah it was an impulse buy since the guy accepted my offer - 320 euros! In fact, just a week ago or so I bought my San Dimas haha
