The original Charvel Surfcaster is distinguished by a bound semi-hollow offset body and a single cat's eye f-hole. A variety of lipstick and humbucker pickup combinations were available, with a JT-40 vibrato bridge and roller nut.
Not to be confused with the hard tail HT model, the plaintop version or the less valuable Surfcaster Standard (with no f-hole) and later Made in China versions.
This is the real Made in Japan instrument. Co case. Weight: 3.7 kg.
