Charvel Model 8 MIJ 1988 + Brand New Hardshell Case
For sale - Metallic black Charvel Model 8, made in Japan in 1988.
Equipped with a triple S configuration, licensed Floyd Rose, and a modified jaguar-like pickguard, the Model 8 was unlike any other product offered by the company at the time. A nod to Jeff Beck’s custom orange Soloist guitar from his mid-80s release: Flash, the Model 8 featured a bolt-on construction paired with a colour-matching reversed headstock.
This particular example is a transition model from the Model Series (1986-88) to the Contemporary Series (1989-1991) when it was rebranded as the Spectrum.
Features:
Unique, clean aesthetic
Versatile active pickups and switching system
Very clean fretboard
Jackson JT6 trem in remarkable condition
Fast, glossy neck
This guitar is in spectacular condition, given its age. The electrics are in perfect working order with the pickups providing a huge variety of tone. The all-original hardware is untarnished with very little visible wear. One small chip to the body (pictured) is the only visible clue that this example never came from a time-capsule. All backplates are present
Extras:
Whammy bar
Recent string change
Recent clean and setup
Choice of Brand new hardshell or original Chainsaw case
