Recently our friend (and Jackson/Charvel bigwig) Brian McDonald sent us a CD that contained an enormous archive of vintage guitar catalogs.  Call us nostalgic but we love this kind of stuff.  So, we’re starting a new blog series and we’ll be periodically posting whole catalogs as galleries.  After the jump, the very earliest Charvel catalog from 1977, printed in stunning, hi-tech black and white.

Obviously, these vintage catalogs have products that are no longer made, and prices that are long gone.  These are being republished here for entertainment only.  Enjoy!
