£1,500.00

For Sale - Charvel Predator made in Japan in 1989 with Rainbow crackle finish.

The 'Contemporary' line of imported Charvels was the natural progression of the much-loved 'Model' Series - with an updated lineup of cutting-edge designs, finishes, and hardware options.

The rear top horn has a varnished repair from where a small paint chip once sat (pictured). The headstock is in impeccable condition with the tip remaining immaculate. The Hardware is all in fantastic condition with no oxidation to any of the metal plating. All backplates are present.
