    I have this very guitar from my teenage years, and I'm the only owner it's ever had. I saved up my fast food paychecks for months to afford it, and then I used it extensively for the next 20 years. It's not my main any more, but I still have it and I'll never sell it, it's a stunning guitar that's held up well over time.

    The Tone King's earlier Charvel video (featuring both of these guitars, as well), inspired me to collect a few. Now I have Model 6, 4, and 2 guitars, along with two 3B basses, and a 575 Deluxe. Thanks TK for showing me the light! I love them all.

    That Charvel is amazing. I started playing in '85 and could only dream of having one of those at the time. They cost 3 to 5 times what I could afford. Great to see one in such incredible shape. I wonder if these pickups are the inspiration for the Badlands pickups.

    That "holy grail" Charvel it's actually more Jackson than Charvel... Nowadays San Dimas custom shops made in USA are far superior, imo.

    Samick made a spec for spec version called YFFB-821 different pickups of course but looks plays and feels the same. They only made them for a short time and cost about $450 in the late 80s (probably didn’t sell too many for that price)

    I've got a model 4 in black, with a Kohler, and a model 6 with a Kohler, in that same purple. Needs a refret, but it only cost me $500 because of that. Here in Australia, a model 6 was recently listed for $4000 so, I think $500 is a good deal.
    I have a couple of 90's charvels as well. And did have a white model 6, with a Floyd, but it was stolen almost 20 years ago. 😊

    That "floyd" isn't a floyd, it's a JT6 double locking bridge. That's why it says Jackson on it. Source: I have a pink Model 6 from 89

    WARNING!!! Don't ever expose this model of guitar to the Sun.
    It will yellow the binding in a heartbeat.
    I kept mine mostly in a case since I bought it in 1988, but one day I let it set in out in my bedroom and bad things happened.

    Those are my favorite style of Charvels. All that Charvel Jackson stuff is so overpriced. I went with an 89 Peavey Nitro custom 3 USA made with the Kohler Spyder bridge for $800 in mint condition. Probably the last bargain buy out there even the vintage Ibanez RGs are getting hard to come by.

    I love my Model 6! But I would have to say the "holy grail" of Charvel (import) guitars would be the almighty 750XL. I have a 750 as well and it's basically a Les Paul on steroids with a Schaller Floyd Rose.

    Hello. I habe a Charvel model 5 Usa made neck true with Kaller but pick ups without brand Jackson very similar plain type cover. Price new was 800 - 900 U$ with plastic gray hardshell case. Black finished, high gloss for all playing abuse. The sound good but I prefer many others brand guitars. Congratulations. Collect them all.

  • @mariek6993
    @mariek6993 11 місяців тому

    sorry, nothing with a kahler is not a holy grail guitar. get the jackson/floyd that came after. it was essentially a $1400 jackson soloist for $999. i bought a model 5 for like 799 or 899 but they were out of stock forever and i eventually bought a usf neck thru bc rich custom warlock instead. charvel should go with that headstock for all of their USA models so you can tell the difference instantly between the 299 version and the $3000 usa models.

    I’ve got 2 lol one played the hell out of it since 86 bought new….still plays to this day perfect and a red one I found for $500 bucks from a guy that didn’t know or cared about what he had …. In mint shape no fret wear at all and no chip on the tip lol with the grey case ….only flaw is for some reason the second fret has what looks like a deep string hit it in the past left a perfect cut across the fret the rest of the frets are flawless weird …. Sad I went to show it off at a friend’s house and his drunk ass son picked it up and hit the wall with the tip of the neck and walla just like most Charvel Concord necks he chipped it ….My heart sunk when I got home and noticed it was mint until then. Wish I could send it in a have it restored

    My dad bought me this model back in 1990. I was so happy. I was 14 years old. I miss it so much. It was stoling from me in 1995. That guitar meant so much to me. I loved the 3 toggle switch look although as a kid it was all about looks.
