1988 Jackson/Charvel Model 1C w/OHSCNO RESERVE | NO RETURNS
Since 1987, I have only seen two (2) of these guitars, Model 1Cs in Electric Blue. And I owned both. Sold one here just last week - here's the other one. 
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 did not diminish their exclusivity. Not only is this a rare Model, this is a rare color. 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 get a myriad of sounds to play with and differentiate tone. It's like having 5 guitars in one. It's a nice axe in very nice condition. 
On top of that, the guitar is in very good shape. The body has a few impacts, but not an abundance, nor any of them serious. 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 at all common for a 23-year-old guitar.
Most importantly, it can play. Really play. And it's a comfortable guitar. You will not be disappointed. Think I'm kidding? I got this email this morning from the winning bidder of the first Electric Blue Model 1C that I sold right here on eBay last week:
"mitch this is the first charvel by jackson i have ever laid my hands on and i must say i am very impressed. i have a feeling it will become my main axe. if i had a buyer i would probably sell all my other guitars. it takes us old guys a while to get around to trying these kind of guitars. always seen them but didn't think i would like them. anyway thanks for a great end to a great buying experience."
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 did/will too. Simply put - it's the most expensive iteration of the Model 1s.
Comes with original hardshell case. Three latches fully functional, one missing. One hinge is a bit tricky but the case is fully functional.
