Up for sale, a 1990 Charvel by Jackson Dinky Arched-Top model DKA-115-HSH in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Made at the Chu Shin factory in Japan and sold exclusively to the Japanese domestic market, this sleek Charvel features a contoured arched-top sen ash body, gloss See-Through Brown finish, quartersawn rock maple neck with slab 22-fret rosewood fretboard and scalloped heel joint, HSH pickup trio, and Floyd Rose-licensed FLC-202 tremolo.
The Jackson J-80 high-output, distortion class humbucker in the bridge position is big and bold, with aggressive highs and balanced midrange. The Alnico V J-50 neck pickup provides an excellent counterpoint, PAF-esque with warm, broad lows and treble growl. The J-100S single coil also features Alnico V construction, pairing well with the humbuckers at positions 2 and 4 on the five-way pickup selector switch. Weighing 7lbs 9oz, this DKA-115-HSH has been professionally setup here at Mike and Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss See-Through Brown finish presents closer to a Black, with just enough transparency to highlight the grain in the ash. Cosmetic wear includes buckle rash central to the back, one finish chip adjacent to the rear strap button and some additional minor marks on the body. The satin finish on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
The original gigbag is included.
