IMO 3-400 dollars, but people seem to be catching on to these, and prices seem to be rising accordingly...
I have No qualms with either the Kahler Flatmount or the JT-6 FLoyd, I use both to this day.
THe Pickups are passives, but the J-200 stacked Singles are wound specifically "around" the boards, and IMO sound like crap w/o the electronics. But the pickups can all be switched with any passive pu, though modification of the baseplates will be necessary for many single coils
www.jcfonline.com , but READ the rules when you sign up, or you´ll quickly be banned for doing something that seems innocent enough to you, but has been a constant nuisance to the JCF for years
On Par with USA guitars, including the Jacksons of the period

One of the better bolt on superstrats of the mid 80s, AFAIC. IMO a better product than your average Kramer or later 80s Ibanezes, etc.
I liked mine, but being a Gibson-type guy I sold it. It was well built,solid. Heavy as I recall. The Jackson trem was pretty good. Good player. I did not care for the indivdual pup selectors (on/off for each pup) and I did not like the pups themselves, but many Charvel/Jackson fans do.
As long as you get a decent piece of wood, you really cannot go wrong with any of the old Charvels.
I have no idea about pricing these days, but there is a Jackson Charvel forum. I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable guys will pop in with the web addy.

Re: Charvel Model 4
Thanks for the input. Zerb, have you not rcd my PMs?
I am registering at the forum. Any particular rule that really causes them headache? I normally always try to behave..
I would probably only change the bridge pup if the singles are good.
I scored one that is orig owner, case kept for the last 10 yrs and supposed to be flawless aside from some minor scuffing on the back, with HSC for $332 shipped.
