Hi All,

I'm looking a buying one of these Charvel 750XL's. Mainly because they have a les paul scale & a set neck. Fantastic stuff for me since I like the way les paul's sound, but I've never liked the body ergonomics. (no body contour's on the back or for your picking forearm).

I know it won't sound excatly the same, but it the closest I've seen to having the comfort features of a strat with a chunky LP tone.

The only thing that puts me off a little is the toothpaste logo, but they have some nice stuff like, mahogany body and maple top, schaller trem.

I've read some cool things on these guitars over at JCF however they may be a little biased :D so, are there any owners or guys who have played one of these.

Wonderful guitars. Just as good (quality wise) as the USA Jacsons of the period. THe body is thicker than on the later Soloist Archtop Professional, and the tone is "deeper", more Les Paulish.

BTW, if you see one advertised as "new", the seller is either lying or misinformed, these havent been produced in 15 years ;)

Zerb, what kind of trem/locknut do they have? What is a good price for one?

Not all, but most "toothpaste" Charvels had Schaller Trems, JT-590 is the Jackson Part Number. As far as prices go: No idea, I don´t usually play imports and don´t tend to keep track of prices ;)

The one in the pic looks to be a Floyd II. Whether it's a Schaller Floyd II or the Asian copy can't tell till you look at it up close. The Schaller will have "Made by Schaller" stamp by the arm socket.

Jackson doesn´t use the cheap copies, other than todays JT-580 and it´s predecessors, especially not on a guitar costing upside of 1500$ (back then).

I can assure you, if it´s a 750XL (and that´s what it looks to be), it´s a Schaller ;)

Thx Zerberus.

I know they are pretty rare due to fact they were only made for a year or so around 1990.
