Charvel Model 3DR MIJ Body (Late 1980s) – Black – Rare Super Strat w/ Original Jackson JT6 Tremolo & Swapped Charvel Neck

This listing is for a late-1980s Charvel Model 3DR body paired with an authentic but unidentified Charvel neck. The original 3DR neck has been replaced, but the current Charvel neck feels great in hand and complements the guitar well. The body is an original MIJ Charvel 3DR, known for its aggressive styling, sharp contours, and high-performance build.

The pickup configuration delivers classic late-’80s versatility:

  • Neck: Jackson J-100 single coil
  • Bridge: Jackson J-80C humbucker

From shimmering cleans to tight crunch to saturated high-gain tones, this guitar covers a wide spectrum. The original Jackson JT6 tremolo is intact and fully functional, offering smooth bends and stable tuning for dive-bombs or subtle vibrato.

This guitar has been fully serviced:

  • Frets polished and smooth
  • Electronics cleaned and tested
  • Low, fast action set up for effortless playability

Despite the swapped neck, the guitar still plays and sounds fantastic, living up to the reputation of Charvel’s late-’80s MIJ craftsmanship.

Collectors and players alike know how rare these 3DR bodies are—produced only briefly between 1988–1989, they represent an exciting chapter of Charvel’s shred-era history.
