Classic Charvel Model 1A, in fantastic condition, and very clean maple fretboard.

Body is clean, polished and waxed, fretboard is exceptionally clean, frets are polished and show no wear. The guitar is in beautiful and fresh condition. Only cosmetic marks are a super discreet area of missing lacquer at the tip of the headstock, and a tiny ding on the arm contour, as per last 2 photos. Hardware and electronics are clean and work as they should, the guitar doesn't look like it was played much, and likely slept in a closet for the last 30 years. Previous owner upgraded the standard trem to a solid all steel Takeuchi TRS101 (pro install).

The guitar is strung with a fresh set of 9-42 strings (you might have to stretch them a bit still, once you bring them back to tension). Depending on your favorite string gauge and action height, local climate, etc, you will have to fine tune the set up to your personal taste once the guitar settles down in its new home after a few days.

Trem arm and vintage Charvel Jackson gig bag included.

Photos are part of the description. Check out my other gear and superstrats for sale, and follow me for more to come. Any and all questions please ask.

Guitar will be expertly boxed and protected for safe shipping. Please see my seller feedback for feedback on my packing skills :)

I ship worldwide by courier: UPS, DHL, TNT, Fedex, etc (depending which is cheaper on a given day). I will ship to Australia and Asia, but costs will be higher, contact me for a precise quote.
