Description:

Here for our consideration is a 1987 Charvel Model 6 SuperStrat in very good condition! An amazing playing SuperStrat that shreds but isn't too flashy or over the top with its looks. Body shows a fair amount of buckle rash on the and some light surface marks/dings, but is overall in great shape with no major damage of any sort. Neck is in great shape and headstock shows only some very light surface marks. Fretboard is in excellent shape and frets show very minimal signs of wear with no major divots or issues and have plenty of life in them. Hardware is in good shape overall but the bridge does show a fair amount of pitting and rust. Still functions absolutely perfect though. Electronics work great and features an active mid-boost circuit that helps cut through a mix or push an slightly broken up amp into overdrive. Features an HSS pickup configuration with stacked single coils for noiseless operation. An incredible Japanese made Charvel SuperStrat thats ready to rip. Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home.Includes hard case and non-original wammy bar. See below for a list of specs and info.
