Great guitar man! I just recently bought a model 4 too and im messing with the electronics, since somebody who had it before me totally butchered them. Thanks for all the info!
I worked at Lasalle Music in Boston around the time they were selling these. Judging from your accent, it sounds like you might know the place. I did acquire a Charvel Model 5 at the time. The guitar plays great but the pickups were always weak on the top string, so I recently replaced them with active EMGs. In that process the licensed Floyd Rose bridge broke (it made of cheap pot metal). Nice job bringing back a nice guitar.
thanks for the info and the kind words, u reside in maine etc. I know a lot of the old new england stores from that Era. ty for the view and the info again. best regards, Jake
Hey Jake. I'm following your video to replace a worn out pot on my 86 Charvel model 4. Any source for audio taper 50K pots? I'm having a heck of a time finding one.
I have the same circuit board in my Charvel 475 Deluxe. Mines from 1989. The old Charvels are great guitahs!

Thats actually a kahler 2300 not a flyer, which is a lot better.

@ronm2099 i will see if I can find out where I acquired them. it's been awhile.
@ronm2099 it looks like an ebay purchase, but i can't find the seller on there anymore. I will keep digging.
@ronm2099 Make sure when you search you type 50k audio taper pcb mount . there are some on ebay now. best of luck
Hello, do you have the electrical diagram, kind regards?
I do not have a diagram, it is not too hard to figure out though.
