Hey guys, I've been offerd a Charvel Model A+ for my two Deans. I've been planning to buy another Ibanez/Strat stylw guitar because I prefer them much more than the LP style Deans I have. I've read some reviews for the Charvel and people bought for between $700 and $1000 new. Is this a high end Charvel? How are Charvels in general? Are they known for being metal/shred guitars in general like Jacksons? And what is their relation with Jackson/Fender? And of course, has anyone tried one out? I read that getting good clean tones is difficult due to the active live wire pups, I expect I'd a pup change and maybe a coil tap like my Satch. Thanks.

Re: Charvel Model A+
It´s an import that was discontinued last year... verygood guitar, but not a "high end", at least compared to a USA Jackson or Charvel....... since their discontinuation I´ve seen model As and A+s fgo for ass low as 250 BRAND NEW
Jackson <=> Charvel, same company.
FMIC owns the company, that´s all .. Of course boycotting FMIC and buying from an independent but wholly owned subsidiary is foolly, should tha be your concern

Re: Charvel Model A+
Zerb pretty much summed it all up. They are great guitars, but I wouldn't call them "high end." With those Live Wire pickups in there, you will probably not be getting an ideal clean sound out of them. However, if you want an ubershred machine, this will fit the bill. Unless you really bond with it and you really want to give up two guitars for it, I would look for a better deal. They can be had pretty cheap if you're patient.
