  • i'm restoring that now i got it today. someone is going to throw it away but i get to fix it xD i'm so excited

  • I'm selling a blue one on ebay next 10 days!

  • theres one of these 80s ones on eBay atm ... thinkin bout gettin it

  • i have ablack one

  • Im selling mine.

    craigslist (dot) org/sfv/msg/2438973341 (dot) html

  • I had one of these in 87, cost me £800 plus £150 interest. Crazy amounts, probably the equivalent of 3k now. Sold it for £550 a year later because I was flat broke. It played great, although I could hardly plat at all at the time.

  • Kahler Bridge?

  • JE 1200 active boost?

  • Had this exact guitar. Sold it long ago and bought a Kramer NightSwan. The Model 6 was nice, but I prefer the feel of the NightSwan.

  • I have one of the WRC #6 Signature Models. I have the paperwork with it from Gibson. It's candy apple red. Paid $850 in 1988. Looking to sell. If interested, drop me a line.

  • THIS IS THE BEST ONE

  • hey

    what is the neck shape/thicknes like?

    is it a thin neck like an ibanez wizard?

    thanx

  • @bebenavole thinner than a wizard i own both a model 6 and ibanez wizard neck..

  • I had an identical white/Kahler mod 6's in 87. Paid close to £1000 for it. Crazy money! I Didn't like the pickup switches that much, altho it gives you the neck and bridge option u don't get on a five way, but it's fidgety. I recall the neck was amazingly good and the pick ups hot.

  • R u selling this axe?

  • I got one of these. it was my dads. Just like this one except black.

  • awsome guitar my dad has the model 6 i think one peice awsome i play it some times even tho im left handed play upside down lol

  • @heyboi14 Hell yeah, same here! Lefty pride!

  • @ASSLICKERADAS yeah man ive got a left handed les paul epiphone not the best but i like it

  • i Have a 1985 charvel guitar, 3 pick ups jackson , black neck made in U.S.A.(T.M.) charvel. it has a black bridge> kahler (T.M.) made in U.S.A,with tremolo it was pink before but im not sure if that was the original color, is made in CA. San Dimas 4 serial number Gold 5046 . if someone is interested in a 1985 charvel guitar send me a message you can ask for the condition of the guitar, and how much can i sell it to you. its really old and i have tested before Your gonna love it. 

  • i looked up charvel on wikipidea and read that some model 6 neck through bodys are verry rare check it out.you might have a small fortune sitting there

  • Dude i just got a model 6 for free off my friend exactly like thiis except a few parts are messed up,do you know how much these things are worth by any chance?

  • I had a Yamaha RGX120MA maple neck and active pickups clearly made to complete with these. Bought new for $550 in 1990. I was flush with cash and was sold up on this guitar. Played like a dream but nowhere to be found now.

    Most RGX's are lower end without active pickups and the maple neck.

    Will pay $500 for one if anyone comes across one!

  • I've had one of these time ago.. its a wonderful guitar.

  • You can't go wrong with a Charvel.

    Beautiful guitars i am not a fan of their line of guitars they produce now, I'm a fan of old school guitars.

    I love guitars with a bit of history instead of taking it of the stand in a store and there is no character old guitars have so much character especially Charvels. love them!!

  • Does anybody know the worth of this guitar? I´ve got exactly this model and perhaps gonna sell it.

    Thanks

  • I bought one in really nice shape a couple of years ago on Ebay for $350. These things are a great deal - I remember seeing them in the late 80's in music stores for about a grand.

  • @mikec717

    I found some for around the same price, do you think they will still play pretty well? The reason for one being low was scratches and dents etc...

  • Play it and see. They're very well made, so unless it has been abused, I imagine it would still be in great shape. Good luck!

  • 350?!...........lucky

  • If you ever want to sell it let me know as i have been on a guitar search for over a year and came to the conclusion that this guitar is pretty much perfect.

  • I bought it through ebay and it should be here tomorrow. Does it normally sound that crunchy or it's just your settings?

  • Its a solo by John Petrucci (Dreamtheater) made on a live in Japan.

  • what's the name of the song from 1:21

  • Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads (guitar)

  • Im curious about the tremelo as well...a buddy of mine jut gave me a charvel/jackson guitar body and neck with no electronics or hardware...your guitar is very similar to what I have...Im thinking of putting EMG pickups in it...what do the three switches do? My guitar has the 3-holes ...anyone know where to get Charvel parts? Thanks

  • As far as the kahler trem get ahold of Wammi world they have a web site and they are out of Arizona. I have talked to the guy before he seems really nice and knows his stuff when it comes to kahlers, as far as the rest of the stuff old Jackson stuff would most likely be the same still commom on alot of guitars today.

  • damn, you are one lucky ass muthaF***er haha thats a clean as charvel haha

  • Is that a Kahler tremolo? I never got into those. You could never get the range out of them that you can from a Floyd Rose.

  • I don't understand why Kahler's got such a bad rap you can adjust the string spacing and height without extra parts Floyd requires shims to adjust individual height and spacing is non-adjustable and as far as range, I'm assuming pull-up and dive how far do you really need to go? The only quirks they had was tuning instability which is an easy fix chapstick is the perfect lube and the nut needs to be replaced with a graphite one the awesome tone from a well set up Kahler kicks a Floyd to the curb

  • Over 20 years later and guitars have not improved? Why oh why. What a great guitar

  • Sorry mate, I just searched for 'Charvel 6 for sale' and this came up. I'm guessing now that its not for sale. great guitar though, I used to have one with the Schaller trem and want another one. Cheers, Dave

  • Hi there, how much you asking for this guitar? Also, where is it located. Cheers, Dave

  • Very nice, especially in white! I almost bought a Model 6 but now I have 1989 650XL which is an updated version of this guitar.

  • I have this exact guitar listed on craigslist to trade for a fender amp, look in los angeles if interested.

  • i totally want that guitar. it just seems so perfect for shredding

  • hey i got the same one in black. nice! and they're pretty cheap too. paid like 300€

  • Nice! I have an '88 Model 6 that I bought from a pawn shop about 9 years ago for about $250(guess they didn't know what they really had). Mine had the Jackson Floyd Rose but it just got worn out over time and started falling apart. I'm in the process now of replacing it.

  • hey nice,i got one of these on ebay for like 510$,fire crackle,i love it.mine has a old jt6 floyd though.

  • I have the exact same guitar in fire crackle, bought it about 1987 i think, cost 720 English pounds back then, haven't played it for a good while because of marriage and kids but i'm thinking of blowing the cobwebs off it again. The great Eddie Van Halen played it for about 30 seconds when he was guest opener of the store ( or so the store keeper told me ), i am obviously a little sceptical about this part of the tale but it's nice to dream...

  • very nice i just got a model 5-a for 400$.black neck thru one humbucker and a jt6 :).

    goes well with the model 6 lol.

    eddie van halen made me want to play guitar lol X).thats how i got into it.

  • wow,i have a rare jackson dinky dkmgt,with two volume and a tone,but i would have traded it for this guitar anyday
