      Joe

      as for a USA model, I don’t think anyone knows how many teles bodies were made. I can say that by 1985 there weren’t a lot of them, maybe 50 or less by that time. There were still being made after that. I have a 1988 lefty tele.

      Dan

      Well I have some info.From another website,it looks like a 1986 Model 2,with the "TM" on the headstock,no Gasket between the neckplate/body,and has the Kahler Bridge(I posted that before) and the serial # is 239000 with the Neckplate that says "Fort Worth" Can anyone tell me any more info??
      TIA

        : TIA

        Well, it sounds like you got one of the Charvels that was made in Japan. Any of the neck plates with the Fort Worth, Tx address were made in Japan. I have two of them and I’ve had to nurse them back to health,too. But they’re great guitars. It’s really hit or miss with the info on these guitars because they didn’t keep track of the serial numbers when they came back into the US (from my understanding). I have an EMG in my Model 2, so the pots are different. The volume pot I have in my Soloist is an A50K/8HW. This has active pickups , though. So, I don’t know if this will help you or not.

      There are a bunch of factors that will determine the true value of your guitar (condition, layout, graphics) but just as a ball park $600-$1000.

    Richie sambora had what looks like two charvels in the 80s. One on the living on a prayer video which was white and the other which i am interested in is black with one humbucker and reverse headstock and floyd rose with a maple neck. Can anyone tell me about them??

  31. Name this charvel
    HUgh McGonagle

    Bought a Charvel from Sam Ash (a reputable music store in New York ) but am having a hell of a time figuring the model and actual year. (been a long time) I purchased this baby in 1986 and the Ser # is 226204. No prefixes or anything just the # on the backplate (obviously a bolt on neck). In addition it states PO box 2344 Fort Worth texas…?? No Sam Dimas or anything like that. Educate me if you can.

        These are very early Japan imports (and not USA models) called the Model series. Most likely, you guys might have model 1’s. The neck plate says USA but that is to show county of origin and not where it was made. The model series are very good guitars in their own rights.

  33. Trying to remember the Charvel Model number I had?
    Randy

    Hey everyone, I bought Charvel 6 string electric guitar from Musician’s Friend around 1991 to 1992. It was solid white with a black hardware and a Floyd Rose tremelo copy with up-routing. I sold it when I lived in Nashville, TN….bad move. Anyway, I’m trying to find out the Model # from those years, one thing that sticks out in my mind is that it only had Dot inlays, not the sharfin style a 22 frets and a Single Coil neck and middle pickup and a Humbucker bridge pickup.

    If anyone knows the model numbers of that year, or could help me find out more info on that old guitar I’d greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks, Randy (I really miss that old thing :(…)
