USA Charvel Value

[Geo]

This is a 2004 NAMM guitar that I need help evaluating value.

I was told it was a Bullseye guitar that was repainted.

What do y'all think it's worth?

Why would someone repaint a bullseye??? I would say around $3000? The USA Charvels are awesome.

Who knows, I couldn't tell it was repainted, maybe he's wrong.

Also I noticed the string tree hole on the peg head. This must have been some kind of Charvel mutt.

It was modded from a traditional trem to a Floyd maybe - just due to the string nut. You can tell pretty easily by looking at the route for the Floyd and nut, unless it was really a top-notch luthier. My old Charvel was modded at the factory and extremely easy to note that from photos. If you pull the neck, you can probably ascertain whether it really is a repaint. I assume they still dated necks and bodies in 2004. If so, it'll be easy to tell if they came from the factory at the right time to both be together/original if that's what you're looking for - probably worth checking before listing!

I suck at values for Charvels, and they're unique/rare enough that it's always really dependent on who is (or isn't) interested at the time.

Keep it!
Btw what is that scratch remover??

It looks like too many parts and things have been changed for me to trust that as an original. For me, that would drop value heavily. I would offer what I was comfortable with as far as cost of parts. Maybe $1600 max if I really loved it and that feels like pushing it.

An unmolested Bullseye could be around $3500 depending on how fast the owner wants to sell it.

I wouldn't give more than low $2000s for a repaint. People who haven't played a USA Charvel superstrat or the similar Jackson Adrian Smith USA take on this are missing out. They are KILLER guitars, much better than even the MIJ equivalents I've played. Materials and craftmanship are next level, and they sound amazing.

Stewmac stuff, it works pretty good. I think it's just 3M Imperial Hand Glaze, same as body shops use.

There was not the six holes under the bridge but if it were a repaint, they could have puttied them.

Maybe the neck was slatted for a different guitar? 2004 was the new first year for them.
