I have owned many Charvels through the years, but these are the ones I've hung on to. The light colored ones have been my #1s, the black ones have been backups, and the other two have stayed at home.

I was digging through some stuff under my work bench, and found two black Kahler trems that I forgot I had, in a ice cream container. One 2300, and one 2710.

I have had the chrome and black trem on this guitar for maybe 30 years. What do y'all think, keep the chrome and black, or change to the all black?

Damn, now I'm going to have to find some guitars to put two trems on. LOL

I have owned several carvin guitars thru the years, but this one is a bit of a mystery. It has the 88 Shaller bridge and trans red finish, but it has the rounded body edges that weren't offered until 89. They didn't offer the trans red finish in 89, they replaced it with cherry Sunburst, and that bridge was only offered in 88.

Kinda strange that this build had so many options, like the gold hardware, maple fretboard with the ghost mop dots, Koa body wings, and three H11 stacked humbuckers with coil splitter switch.

Probably could have got a DC400 for the added cost for all of these options.

Also look at the controll layout.

So what the heck is it? DC135, DC145, or could this be a company or employee build showcasing the new features offered. They didn't have custom shop back then like they have now days.

Anyway, what do you think?
