1988 Jackson/Charvel Model 1C

1988 Jackson/Charvel Model 1CSerial: 308XXX (Ft. Worth, TX neckplate, made in Nagano, Japan).Body: Solid Basswood, Super Strat profile, finish Electric BlueNeck: Bolt-on Maple, finish natural.Frets: 22 Jumbo.Fingerboard: Rosewood.Pickups: J90C humbucker (bridge), (2) J100 single-coils (neck, middle).Bridge: Vintage Fulcrum.
This is a rare guitar. For some time, many people thought that the Model 1C was only released in Japan and never the USA. Reality was that only a limited amount were sold in the US market but this didn't not diminish their exclusivity. On the few days that one can find a Model 1C, it is never in Electric Blue. Though it is one of the most sought-after finishes from the Charvel Model Series in aftermarket, not many Electric Blue guitars were made in any Model. 
This guitar gives you all the sound you want without the hassle of  restringing, setting up and intonating a Floyd Rose. You can restring this guitar in under 3 minutes and be in tune and playing in under 5. You get the bite of the J90C but you also get the versatility of the single-coils. You have a myriad of sounds to play it. It's like having 5 guitars in one. It's a nice axe in very nice condition. 
Not only is this a rare Model, this is a rare color. On top of that, the guitar is in very good shape. The body has a few impacts, with one tiny (smaller than the size of a screw head used on a pickup ring, lets say) chip going through to the white base coat on the back of the guitar, but not an abundance. The maple neck is perfectly smooth and beautifully bright. The famous Charvel pointy headstock is perfect. No chips in wood or paint on either side of the headstock, which is not common for a 23-year-old guitar.
And on top of all that, it plays. It's comfy in your hands and she likes to play. It's not another guitar that just looks pretty, it can hold up to its look. Beautiful.
Again, this is rare. This was only made ONE year. It is a Model 1C and Electric Blue! I paid more and anyone else who has one, too. Simply put - it's the most expensive iteration of the Model 1s.
It does NOT come with a case nor gig bag. If you are interested in a case or have any questions about the guitar, please contact me.
