Might help. Should be an '86 made in japan

it is spelled Charvel or I would have seen this the day you posted it, and the model is a 3B, not B3.

Not one year 86-88 like Phaenomenal said MIJ.
I don't even remember how many of those I had but still have 2 red ones.

I have an '88 3B with EMG P/Js in fire crackle finish. Still sounds like thunder.

My '87 3B sounds amazing. I like to run it through the Orange Bass Terror amp.
