Grover Jackson chose a pointy headstock design that was popular among a new generation of guitar players.

The Charvel Model 3A differs from the Charvel Model 3 in that it has an HH pickup configuration with two Jackson J-80C humbuckers.

The neck was a Quarter-Sawn maple neck, with a compound radius 12-16 maple finger board.

Other specifications Jackson SG38-07B Machine heads One volume knob, one tone knob JE 0005 5 way switch The 1986 version has a pickguard and a Kahler 2520 tremolo but the following years dont have a pickguard and feature a Jackson JT6 Vibrato.

In 1986 there was also a Charvel Model 3M version which is the same guitar, only it has a maple fretboard.

The Ibanez R470 is similiar to the Ibanez 440R but has an HSH pickup configuration.

Very high output with individual coil split.The original Kahler tremolo was professionally upgraded to the newer Kahler Hybrid system which locks the tremolo into a fixed bridge.Plays and sounds excellent.

Comes with a brand new custom hard case, tremolo arm and tools.

These models were used by Marty Friedman (Megadeth etc.) and Craig Chacquico of Jefferson Starship in the 80s.

For those of you unfamiliar with Carvin or Kiesel they are an American family owned business that build guitars to order to a very high quality, seriously underrated and good value.

The final picture is an older one with the original cream coloured pickups which can be included at no extra charge however they were replaced as the coil tap on one of them did not work, cant remember which one.
