A long time ago, I had a Charvel Model 4, much like this guy here, but a bolt-on. My guitar had been modded before I got it, with the origninal nut replaced and maybe a Kahler Spyder Floyd-type having replaced a regular Kahler. I didn't have the eye for anything like that then, and the information that would have led me to look wasn't on the Internet yet. Regrettably, that guitar was lost to theft, else I would be digging it out right now!
My guitar teacher had one of these with the Floyd rose growing up still one of the best playing guitars I’ve ever tried
they are my favorite, the only upgrade im doing to this guitar is getting a new tusq nut

I think you can take those buckle scratches out by feathering. You lightly wet sand till the they are harder to feel then lay more clear in or over them , then wet sand and polish. The clear coat however is usually more expensive than paint. I think automotive painters also sometimes scuff with lightest scotch brite pad just a tiny bit before brushing the clear on. Anytime you are doing this with your color coat you want it to bulge out of your scratch a little because its going to shrink when it cures. Of course on cars this kind of thing is done with your color coat as touch up paint, and if your provider knows what they are doing they mix a bit of clear coat in to it.
I love the Marshall knob on the volume 👍
my input jack on my M6 disintegrated , i assume i just need a stereo jack, could you tell me what wires go where to the jack? the wires are still attached to the jack bits but they are free floating so i have no reference.
@@davidcastle3292 try cleaning the jack with electronics cleaner and steel wool. that could help bring it back to life. if not… then there are some wiring diagrams on google that show you which wire goes where, just look up your year and model on google and you’ll see plenty of them. i had that issue before and it was pretty easy to solder them
These old Charvel's rock out.

how'd you fix the bridge? just more alcohol?
using an air compressor first to remove all the loose dust. then alcohol and cotton swabs. lastly i used wd -40 to clean it off better in the hard to reach areas. then a penetrating oil in the saddle rollers so eveything moves freely again.
Might anyone know what kind of replacement jack i need? I have a 87 M6 that the hack just disintegrated into pieces when i opened her up it was 4 bits of plastic and the soldered terminals were free
Great video thanks for sharing

You worked so hard on those frets
@@Allguitarinfo still could use a refret.. but so far i’m having no issues at all! no buzzing or anything
You did good man. Made it playable .. have a model 4 , .but the model 6 neck thru W/kahler is considered top tier... Great guitars ..I had a model 2 ..but sold it long ago. ,That model 2 humbucker was a fire breathing dragon. .. considered@guitarforall
This was my second guitar but it had an Floyd Rose. I modded it stupid me but these are not exactly the most pretty looking guitars.
It turned out to be ways cooler but as worth nothing.
I had a Schecter that looked almost identical, except for fretboard had dots and reg nut. I really regret selling that one.
I had one just like this one, I bought it at a pawn shop in Myrtle Beach SC in 1990 only paid $300.00 sold in 93 to help fund more Jackson guitars
good story! i was fortunate to find this one from a local sale and rescue it ,, thanks for watching !
If I knew alcohol could restore frets I wouldn’t have wasted money regretting my Greco JJ
i didn’t know either, it’s always a learning experience with restoring. thanks for watching!
Please don't use isopropyl on fretboards people. Use Naptha.
i had a whole jug of that but i used it up. alcohol was the only thing i had on hand
@@guitarforall been there done that
I also had just recently purchased a model 4 and had to do basically all the same things to refurbish it haha, unfortunately tho my electronics are a bust and im gonna have to rewire it completely
no signal from the electronics? try the 9v battery first, then the input jack .. maybe a cold solder joint somewhere that isn’t allowing signal to flow through
@@guitarforall the problem is that somebody fucked with the electronics and changed the pickups and messed up the wiring and also one of the coils of the seymour duncan invader (which was placed in the bridge) is dead. So yea im gonna have to rewire and rework it
@@anglesupremacy123 at that point i’d highly recommend just get new pots , wires and pickups. but i noticed that regular EMGs or other pickups aren’t as big as the stock jackson pickup in the model 4. the pickup ring is bigger so there will be gaps if you end up using other pickups. but it’s no big deal honestly , just depends what your going for .. looks wise. Unfortunately the screws in my model 6 are corroded so i can’t even take them out to try
