Saw the game pc. This comprehensive Charvel guide will enable you to determine the year of production and verify any of the legendary Japanese made Charvel guitars, designed by Jackson Charvel and built by the Japanese Chushin Gakki factory back in 1986 through 1991. The guide will also show you both the original configuration of the guitars and the evolution they went through. Series overview During these six years of production, close to 80 different variations were offered and the best way to get a proper overview of this bunch, is to categorize them. Below is how Jackson Charvel defined the series back then.
Clicking the links will take you to the relevant catalogue scan. 1986-1988 1989-1991 1989-1991 1989-1991 1989-1990 1989-1991 The further down uses the same categorization. [1] The Charvette Series guitars were initially not in scope for this article, due to mainly being built in Korea, but I have included all the Charvel categories for the sake of completeness. Why focus on these six years? The 1986-1991 Charvel imports were the very first Charvel imports and they have become legendary due to their build quality vs.
Price ratio in the second hand market. The guitars have proven themselves to be a fantastic alternative to the higher priced American made Jacksons and Charvels and having played both, you probably realize how great these vintage Japanese guitars really are.
Get all the details on the Charvel import guitars by also reading the article.

A quick and dirty way of determining the year of manufacture for the bolt-on Model Series 1 - 4, is to look at the combination of trademark symbols used on both the headstock and the neckplate. Furthermore, the presence or absense of a neckplate gasket will also help you find the year. The serial on these guitars can't be used directly to find the year. Study the following table to determine the year. Year matrix, Charvel Model 1 - 4 Model 1 - 4 Neckplate symbol Headstock symbol Serial start, approximate 1986 No 2 Yes 2 Yes 275100.
The Charvel Model 5 and 6 have a neck-through design and unlike the Model 1 - 4, their serial number directly reveal the build year. The serial syntax is CXXXXXX.
For example, C 800210 is built in the year of 198 8. C 701212 would be 198 7. When the Charvel Model 5 and 6 were introduced in 1986, the serial number was found on the back of the headstock under the clear coat, in the form of a plastic decal. Later on, around mid 1987, the factory abandoned the decal on the headstock and began stamping the serial number into the last, blind fret of the fingerboard. Logo trademarks on the headstock of the Model 5 and 6 should be the same as the bolt-on models.

There are exceptions to the above, but the guidelines here are generally accepted and works for the most part in dating your instrument. None of these guitars were made in USA.
