Todd's San Dimas Charvel
 
I always wanted to own a U.S. handmade Charvel.  Not long ago, no-one wanted these guitars.  People are now collecting them, and their value is increasing.

I found this one on ebay for about $500.00.  It doesn't quite live up to my dream but it plays well and sounds good.  I replaced the original Seymour Duncan 58's with EMGs, an 81 in the bridge and a 60 in the neck - same as my model 5.  The tremelo is the original Kahler.  The neck has 22 frets, a rosewood fretboard on a maple neck, and is bolted on.

This is an American made Charvel from 1983.
