Great value!

I've actually owned 3 of these guitars and currently still have my last bought. Korean made. Solid build w Solid Rosewood back and sides. I believe it's a solid maple top? It's got beautiful inlay in the headstock, rosette, top edge, back edge, back center and even the center bottom near the strap nut. I've always thought this guitar has been under rated based on the pricing versus the performance and craftmanship it has. It's not a top of the line but I would've guessed this guitar would be worth around $1000.00 and was surprised to buy my 1st in the late 90s (when charvel stopped producing them I believe) for around $700. I'm seeing them now for around 300 hundred or even cheaper. If you find one in good shape grab it. The solid Rosewood is increasing their value as all the top guitar makers are just now getting around to using Rosewood themselves for the back and sides as it really gives a richer tone.
