anderekel Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 I don't know why you felt the need to swear in response to someone and it took me all of five minute or so to find this, but this should help ya....... http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopi...44&t=380078 look at the first pick, that looks like what you showed us...

soapbarstrat Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 I know the cheap import Charvels of the 90's (CX series ?) had pickups that looked like those. Quote

ihocky2 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 The other place is to look through the catalog J/C catalog scans. Those are easy enough to find. And it is even easier to narrow down since it is a toothpaste logo. So that means early 90's. Quote
soapbarstrat Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Found it in an old 1990 catalog I have. ST Custom $449.00 Came in Sunburst, trans black, trans red. Each pu is a stacked HB, so they say it has 4 HB pu's EI Rose board, 2 piece Ash body scanned it. Edited December 3, 2008 by soapbarstrat Quote
Keegan Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 Sorry, I was being a smartass, I guess you didn't appreciate my sense of humor. Quote
Dingus420 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Posted December 3, 2008 well thanks for the help guys, but i got one more question, does anybody know how many of these strat like charvels were made before they were discontinued? or in one year, any info is helpful Quote
Rick500 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 Here's one going for $400... not that it really says much as to the number that were made. http://detroit.craigslist.org/msg/909206854.html Quote
ihocky2 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 Check out the Jackson/Charvel forum, they will be a lot more knowledgable than most of the crowd here. They are several guys here that a J/C fans, but over there are guys who live and die by J/C's only. I do have to say though, that is more than I would have thought those would have sold for originally and the craigslist price is definitely higher than I would have expected. I don;t know if that is a good price for today or not, but the majority of the toothpaste logo's don't get a high dollar on resale. Quote
soapbarstrat Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 Well that hideous headstock is what reminded me that I had seen that in some catalog. Probably rare because of that. You'd think they would have had a clue that the Fender Performer guitars tanked partly due to a similar looking headstock. Oh, I don't want to come across like I'm running it down. Just saying why it didn't go over so well. Can't rely on craigslist to give an accurate idea of what something is really worth. last time I put an ad on there, the item sold within 3 days and then I'm pretty sure I killed the ad. So I figure if you keep seeing an ad, nobody is biting. Try looking it up on finished ebay auctions. Better for real world, 'what's it worth' info. And of course the Charvel forums, although you have to be careful on some forums how you word stuff, 'cause some places don't like even a hint that you're trying to sell something. Oh yeah, another thing, it's got a weird part ; the "roller nut", stuff like that doesn't help. Quote
ihocky2 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 I am glad this guitar was posted though. It got me looking through the catalog scans and I found out that two of my favorite gutiarists are pictured in the 1990 catalog that I didn't know where in there. Chris Caffery and Criss Oliva. Quote
