1983 Charvel San Dimas made Explorer-White
1983 Charvel San Dimas made Explorer-White
A rare Charvel that has had some modifications. A Floyd Rose trem system was added in the '80s, most likely by the factory. The original bridge screw holes were never used. The Floyd nut used pieces of the original truss rod cover as shims. The pickups were changed to EMG 81s in 1990 by Rare Bird Guitars of Denver. The body was routed minimally to accomidate the longer adjusting screws of the EMGs. The hardware is all original including the non branded Gotoh tuners, brass strap buttoms and gold plated knobs and neck plate. All of the back covers are black powder coated aluminum. The neck is a more common oil finished maple neck. Unfortunately the neck heal appears to have been planed down to make playhing at the high frets easier. The neck was also glued into the pocket so we did not verify the neck and body dates. There is a potential crack in the neck pocket (see pic). Comes with the original blue lined Charvel Explorer case. A very cool piece of Charvel history.
