Description: Description The ACE Shimizu model became the prototype of the later Caparison Angelus!! Charvel Guitars was founded by Wayne Charvel, a former Fender staff member, in the 1970s. After that, the Charvel brand was acquired by Grover Jackson and became Charvel/Jackson, supporting the HR/HM boom of the 1980s. Since the mid-1980s, various models have been produced in Japan as low-priced versions of the Jackson brand. In the 1990s, a model unique to Japan was designed by Mr. Itaru Kanno of the then distributor Kyowa Shokai, and this ACE Shimizu model Questar is one of those models. Kyowa Shokai will no longer act as an agent for Charvel/Jackson, and the model designed by Mr. Kanno will be taken over by the new Kyowa Shokai brand Caparison. The design of this Questar is also inherited by Caparison's Angelus. This model was created by ACE, a technician who was one of the Seikima II members at the time and was well versed in music theory and skillfully handled many genres.The model was a major change from the previous SL-based model, and was a solid body. It has an arched top double cutaway body shape with a taste of the ES-335, which he also owns. The body is made of Mahogany, which has a warm and thick sound, the neck is also made of Mahogany, the fingerboard is made of Rosewood, and the dot-type position marks, body top, and head are made of Mahogany. Luxurious binding is applied to the side of the fingerboard, and a set neck joint, which is rare for Charvel, is used to make the body and neck sound as one. It has a medium scale of 24F and is recommended for people with small hands. The pickups are Charvel's original C-50n on the front and C-80 on the rear. It has just the right amount of power and goes well with Mahogany wood. The bridge is equipped with an orthodox TOM type and is made by highly reliable Gotoh. The controls are simple and easy to use: front, rear volume, master tone, and 3-way pickup selector. There is no problem with the condition of the neck. The frets have some dents, but there is enough left that there is no need to rub them together. There are dents and scratches on the top of the head, two missing truss rod cover screws, the logo has disappeared, there are paint chip dents on the edge of the top of the body, dents on the back of the body, and other scratches and dents.Metal parts are dull, plating has peeled off, and there is rust. Masu. This is an extremely rare model that rarely appears on the market today!
