Charvel Usa
Charvel Usa
Why did Jackson guitars used to cost twice as much as their sister brand Charvel, but now it's the other way?
in fact, the last time I saw a Charvel for sale, it cost more than a USA Jackson
Almost all of the major guitar manufacturers have sub-companies that make relatively inexpensive versions of their guitars in order to keep from losing the market.
Some of those sub-companies make custom models and artist models (some artists exclusively use the sub-company guitars) which can sometimes equal or exceed the cost of the parent companies guitars.
Jackson probably still makes a more expensive guitar than Charvel, but there are inexpensive Jackson models, and expensive Charvel models (depending on features like the materials they are made of, pickups, controls, bridges/lockdowns, necks, fretboards, tuners, etc).
The same can be said of Gibson and Epiphone. My friend has an Epiphone SG Prophecy with a custom neck and 'dirty fingers' pickups in it that rivals any Gibson SG I've ever played.
Fender has USA made Fenders, Mexican made Fenders, and then Japanese made 'Squire'.
Squire is pretty much crap - maybe alright for an entry level guitar - although you can usually get the Mexi Fender for not much more. I've got a Mexi P-Bass that is fantastic!
Some people swear by the most expensive guitars - and they are some very nice instruments, but the most important feature is always the person playing it.
A good guitarist can make a $10 pawn shop guitar missing two strings sound incredible

Pics would help greatly.
If the charvel was a stamped logo with that It was definitely not made in USA
Chances are it was made in Japan.
My guess is late 80s Im not positive though.
