Hey Shibiwan, wow, that's 3 very very nice looking guitars. I agree the maple top is just gorgeous. IIRC 1989 was around when the best Charvels were made? My Anderson is 2 years earlier, 1987 vintage
Nice guitars. Would they be considered vintage by now?
Apparently the best Charvels were the Japanese ones with the Fort Worth, TX neck plate. That was when Charvel/Jackson moved manufacturing to Japan and had their craftsmen training the Japanese guys in the factory. They probably peaked around 1990-1992... it's been downhill since, especially after Fender bought them up.
