Charvel by Jackson 1987 MIJ Model 1A SSS Maple Fretboard, Gloss Red - Used

The Charvel Model 1A is one of the iconic Japanese-built "superstrats" from the late 1980s, delivering the speed, reliability, and aggressive styling that defined the era. Built by Chushin Gakki in Japan, the Model 1A features a comfortable maple neck with a maple fingerboard, a high-performance 25.5" scale, and a trio of single-coil pickups that provide everything from sparkling cleans to punchy rock tones. A hardtail bridge offers excellent tuning stability and sustain, making it an ideal choice for players who prefer a simple, dependable setup.

This used example is finished in eye-catching Gloss Red and includes a gig bag. It remains in very good condition with normal cosmetic wear consistent with its age and has been fully inspected.
