bubs_42 Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 I use to own 13 charvel's at one time not to mention the countless others that have pasted through the herd, not I have non.. .. But here is one of the "Grails" of the charvel community and I never thought it would come up for sale.... http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-1982-VAN-HALEN...1QQcmdZViewItem
kizanski Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 Priced "Just a little high"...Yea, you could say that.
Jeff R Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 Good information thread on this one in the message board at www.usacharvels.com
unfun 75 Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 I like how the one guy is complaining about the shipping costs. If you can afford a $100k guitar I would think the $425 for shipping would be pocket change.
hrtatak Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 I saw what must have been the other one in a display case in a store in St Louis several years ago.

FrankieII Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 The pickup isn't original. Jackson wasn't making their own pickups until after '85. You can even tell it's been changed by the messy solder joint.
HamerHokie Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 What the hell, make an offer. As an investment it might be worth something.
Guest pirateflynn Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 What the hell, make an offer. As an investment it might be worth something.Buy gold stock. Right Kilroy!
Hamertoe Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 The guitar may be worth at or over 1k but he's trying to sell the story. Nothing wrong with that but how do you appraise nostalgia?
belikerick Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 OK, nobody has said itDANG, that is BUTT UGLY!! I don't CARE if it's worth $100K!!!!!!!!
black magic Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 I love Charvels, but yes, that is BUTT ugly!!Jack
JustKid Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 If this guitar is priced at 100K , then the scull cali offered several months ago by some guy for a 100K is practically a gift. And YES, that is pretty ridiculous guitar. BTW , this is possibly the worst repair/cosmetic job I'v seen, considering that the guy who did it worked there.
rmahurin Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 If I buy a guitar for $100k, I'm flying out to pick it up in person.
