Finished in deep Metallic Blue, loaded with HH Jackson ceramic humbuckers, and equipped with a factory Kahler tremolo, this is one of the rare high‑end configurations that sits above the standard Model Series guitars of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the finish, this one is built with mahogany body wings — the good, dense, mid‑'80s stuff — giving it a thick, sustaining midrange and a punch that most super‑strats from the era simply don’t have. It’s a monstrous mahogany super‑strat, the kind that roars under gain and feels alive in your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Despite never having had a full professional setup, it runs like a tank and plays with the authority you only get from a real neck‑thru MIJ build. Tremolo works but I use it as a hard-tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid‑'80s Charvel\/Jackson MIJ (Chushin Gakki factory)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck‑thru construction — premium tier, not a bolt‑on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany body wings — warm, sustaining, powerful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetallic Blue factory finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHH Jackson ceramic humbuckers (textured covers, era‑correct)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory Kahler tremolo (smooth, stable, classic '80s feel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast neck, excellent upper‑fret access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal tweed case included (hinges + handle replaced, fully functional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar has been played and shows it — a handful of dings, scuffs, and honest wear throughout the body.
