From the line of guitars that needs no introduction, for your consideration this very early 1986 Charvel Model 3 superstrat, TM logo headstock.

Hardware and electronics are clean. The Kahler trem is in particularly good condition, all rollers roll. Body is clean, polished and waxed (sorry about the dust specks), fretboard is clean and conditioned, frets are polished and show very moderate wear. Superb dark rosewood fretboard.

No dents or damage, no neck pocket cracks, some surface marks here and there, a bit of wear on the bridge pup (previous owner must have been heavy-handed ^^).

The guitar is strung with a fresh set of 9-42 Pyramid (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.

Original tremolo arm and vintage vinyl gig bag are 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.

All import duties are the responsibility of the buyer.
