Charvel CX592

Not really sure when this was made
22 frets, rosewood neck. Flat and fast

1 volume, 1 tone, 5 way selector
1 hum in bridge, 1 single in middle, 1 hum in neck
all charvel manufactured pickups

Strat style body, solid, no pickguard

Gotoh tuners with liscenced floyd rose trem bridge.

Suits most styles, gets a good rock crunch going with the proper setup time. Good for metal, although the pickups do not seem to be too high gain. Deffinately need a pedal to assist with getting a good metal sound. Can get some really good blues sounds out of it as well.

Bought used and had to adjust everything myself, string height, pickup height etc... finish is a dull gloss, doesn't seem to shine up very well.

never had any problems getting the sounds I wanted. Has always performed well for me. The input jack however seems to become unthreaded often, making it rather loose and sometimes noisy. I would gig with it without a backup. Strap buttons are solid and rather large, for some reason my strap keeps coming loose however. This is probably due to the strap for than the buttons. I have dropped this guitar many many times due to this, but only have 1 chip in the paint and it still functions perfectly.

It seems impossible to contact them for anything!

I have been trying to locate a peice from the tremolo bridge and have been unable to locate their tech division for anything. This is going through the charvel, jackson and fender websites! NOTHING!

This is certainly a good guitar for someone looking to "get into playing" I don't know how much it was worth when new. But it gets great sound, its very reliable and is very easy to play.

Manufactured ?late 80's, early 90's in Japan. 21 frets, strat style body with indenture on back, 2 stock Jackson/Charvel humbuckers and one single coil in center, Floyd Rose 1 bridge, black with rosewood fretboard, 3 string locks on headstock. Maple neck and headstock. Grover tuners. Seems I'm the only one in the world who owns one of these.

Very clean, crunchy sound from the stock pickups. 5 way pickup toggle is very nice feature, giving it a nice variety of sounds.

This particular guitar has excellent action; however while bending notes the bottom E goes out of tune; this is due to the Floyd bridge. Guitar will only accept string gauges .009 and thinner.

I've had the guitar 10 years; and was a mainstay for a long time. I've never had any problems, but with heavy use I finally developed a tiny crack on the base of the neck where it meets the bolts to the body. I will retire this beauty and keep it because I believe it is a rare guitar.

Charvel does not exist anymore.

If anyone else owns this model; or where I can get info; please get in touch with me.
