Made in USA or
Import?
How to tell USA made Charvels from import models |
|
|
| Neck plate address |
 |
If the neck plate has a Ft. Worth
Texas address stamped into it, it
is NOT a USA made Charvel.
The "Made in Japan" sticker as
seen in the photo is not common.
Most plates do not have this
sticker just the Ft Worth, Texas
USA address. |

 |
| If the end of the logo shows a pointy
headstock shape with six in a line tuners it is NOT a USA made Charvel. |
If "Made in USA" is NOT under
the Charvel logo it usually means it is NOT a USA made Charvel (exception being prepros) |
|
| Typically gold and black logos were
used on made in USA Charvels. White logos usually found on Imports - non USA made Charvel
guitars. |
|
| Large non-guitar shaped logos indicate
it is NOT a USA made Charvel |
 |

|
22 or 24 frets?
24 fret necks usually indicate your Charvel was NOT made in USA |
 |
|
|
Neck through or bolt
on?
If your Charvel is neck through NOT a bolt-on it is an Import. |
