The Story

1988 Model 5A Black

This is a ripper of a late '80s Charvel! A single-humbucker Model 5A in all black with neck-thru construction, 24 frets and a Jackson JT6 tremolo. The guitar is in good cosmetic shape, there's playwear throughout with dings on the body. There is a non-original Seymour Duncan Screamin' Demon humbucker installed and a non-original Ibanez tremolo arm included which works with the Jackson tremolo.

Includes: Hardshell Case and Tremolo Arm
