Ostensibly a model made exclusively for Japanese retailer Ikebe based on the factory markings, this rare Charvel was only available to the Japanese domestic market, featuring a pair of Gotoh humbuckers, a Floyd Rose-licensed tremolo, 24-fret maple cap fretboard, and a gloss Gunmetal Gray finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Gotoh humbuckers comprise an LP-38 at the neck and an LP-HM at the bridge: the LP-38 is wound in the PAF range, yielding an ideal balance of smoothness, warmth, and articulation, with great harmonic bloom. The LP-HM is slightly more powerful and punchy, with focused midrange aggression and note attack, taking gain notably well. This Charvel weighs 7lbs 11oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Maple (quartersawn)\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: Slender D, measuring .760” 1st fret, .855” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Maple cap, 24-fret, dot inlay\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Jumbo, virtually no wear\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), locking\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Gotoh, Charvel-branded\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: Stamped on neck plate\u003cbr\u003e-Factory Markings: Model stamps on neck heel\/pocket, heel dated 9-5-2 (9th year of Heisei era, translating to 1997)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Basswood\u003cbr\u003e-Pickups: Gotoh LP-38 (neck, meters 7.4k ohms), LP-HM (bridge, meters 8.75k)\u003cbr\u003e-Harness: Untouched solder, full-size Japanese pots\u003cbr\u003e-Hardware: Gotoh, Charvel-branded and Floyd Rose-licensed, dome-top knurled knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss Gunmetal Gray finish shows only a few light finish scratches on the back, well shy of “buckle rash,” a couple small finish chips along the body perimeter, and a few additional minor marks on the body as a whole.
