Greetings!
I’m planning on selling my Charvel Surfcaster 12 to help pay on a huge tax bill I just got. It’s currently cased and I don’t have any pictures handy, but it’s a ’92 model, black. The serial number is listed here in the database, but I honestly can’t recall what it is.
If you’re reading this as of April 17, 2022, and interested in a black 12-string, please contact me directly and I can fill you in on all of the details and will provide good photos.
Guitar is in EXE to NM condition… all the electronics work properly, including the push-push and toggle, tuning gears work fine, solid output jack… just a great sounding and playing Surfcaster. Has a non-original hardshell case.
Breaks my heart to even consider selling it. I cannot do international shipping, so CONUS only. Email me at miketrainor1117@gmail.com.
Thank you!
I am looking to buy a 12-String Charvel Surfcaster. I had a chance years ago to play an Emerald green custom rebuilt one from Roman guitars years ago. Was amazing. I am now regretting not picking one up back then. I never see these listed. Anyways I’d be interested to hear about any nice 12-string models out there. Thanks
I have a black 6/12 string double neck which I sadly need to sell.
As you all know, these double necks are extremely rare. It’s hard to find a reliable source, but from what I have read there were 20 made, of which 5 were black. So this is one of five in the world as far as I know.
If anyone can provide further information then please do!
It has never left my studio while I have owned it and is in beautiful condition. There are a few tiny marks which are barely noticeable and in inconspicuous places. Details are:
Double Neck 6/12 string
Condition: Excellent
Body: Black
Charvel Logo: White
Pickups: All Lipstick
Serial No: 6 string neck 379292
12 string neck 382113
No Modifications
A few tiny inconspicuous marks
No Case-Very much prefer collection in person but willing to discuss shipping if absolutely necessary
Location: North London, UK
Price: Negotiable but looking for offers above £2500

Looking to buy a ‘93 green quilt surfcaster like the one on the home page. Please email me pics & desired price. Thanks! twelvedaysinjune {at} gmail {dot} com.
Hello – I’m looking for a quilted-green Charvelle Surfcaster in at least player’s condition.
one with the “c” tailpiece and the larger logo headstock is preferred, but not a deal-killer
Would also be interested in different finishes. I’ve wanted one for years and I’m having bad luck with people on Reverb. I actually had a guy raise the price $200 bucks after I’d purchased. So, I walked. I’m also not into paying over $1,500 … some sellers are trying to get twice that … it’s not a les Paul.
YES!!! Looking for one with the “C” tailpiece and original large-logo headstock. Surf Green or Green-green.

Hey AL. Your sea-foam double-neck Surfcaster is actually a “dark-green sparkle”. I’m aware of only 3 other double-neck Surfcasters the same as yours. Thank you for the pictures of your very clean and beautiful guitar.

1992 – 12-String Thin-line Tangerine Maple Flame Top – $1300 + $100 shipping (US) Picks are here:
https://reverb.com/item/6819871-charvel-surfcaster-12-string-thin-line-1992-tangerine-maple-flame
This Charvel Surfcaster 12 thin-line is the
answer to you electric 12 string dreams! This guitar plays as easy
as any Charvel/Jackson guitar but has the appearance / vibe of many various
guitars from the 60’s. This guitar can emulate a Rickenbacker 12, Silvertone 12 with ease, but that is not why I like it. It truly has a unique sound and is so easy to play and THAT is what I love about it VERY versatile!
It has a gorgeous white pearloid pickguard and matching truss rod cover!
I have owned this guitar since 2005 and have enjoyed playing and
recording with it.
A guitar neck is your ‘connection’ to your music.
Charvel neck profiles have been hailed for decades by guitarists from all
genres as being one of the easiest to play and most comfortable.
The neck has a very comfortable thin to medium neck shape/profile indicative of
many Charvel’s and the satin finish on the back feels very smooth to
my hand. One of the pics show the back of the neck. As you will be
able to notice this is not a once piece neck but the grain is very
straight and destined for a lifetime of stability.
Neck is true.
No twists, hi frets or rattle. Truss rod works great. The rich Rosewood
fingerboard has white pearloid shark fine inlays up and down the 24
jumbo crowned frets.
It has a chambered body made of Mahogany with a
Tangerine flame maple top. This beautiful top is also bound and it
is a nice border to the natural Mahogany back and sides. The Tangerine flame maple finish is even adorned on the bound flame maple head-stock!
This awesome axe has a 3 way toggle switch to engage each of
the single coil Chandler lipstick single coil pickups.
When the Chandler USA made lipstick
chrome pickups are engaged @ the same time they are ‘humbucking’
and will cancel 60 cycle hum!
This Charvel Surfcaster also sports a push push (not push
/pull) tone control that not only rolls of hi frequencies but also will toggle
between parallel and series when the pickups are engaged together. (3 way
toggle in middle / straight up position)
This allows the user to go from a very clean ‘Wind Cries
Mary’ (Strat® pick up with Neck and Middle engaged ) sounds while in
parallel and then to very fat thick tonality when in series!
Big Sounds or slicing cleans- it is a very fun guitar to play. There is also a
increase in output in the series mode so great for single lines or leads!
(also still hum cancelling in series as both pickups are engaged)
This was also a mod done by a
Charvel/Fender employee/tech.
Previously it was wired to have the out of phase thin and
brittle low output sound and then the parallel tones that are still available
on the guitar. (the catalog deemed it as ‘phase reversal’ )
Also it is now possible to use 3 way toggle
as a ‘kill’ switch. This can give you a cool keyboard
sound when the push push switch is up and the player is actively toggling
between the bridge and center position on the 3 way. This can
allow you to have the ‘rapid fire’ on off on effect by using
the 3 way toggle switch.
The controls are very smooth and fun to do volume swells
on.
The instrument is very comfortable to strap on.
It weighs only 7.5 pounds. It has large strap buttons
indicative of most Jackson/Charvel so your strap will not come off very
easily.
The Body also has a sculpted heal so accessing the upper
register frets is comfortable. Serial # is on the Neck
Joint plate and is 383066.
If you are not familiar with guitars that were made in this
Jackson/Charvel plant in Japan… This factory only made Jackson®/Charvel®
guitars for over 25 years and were continuously trained by USA Jackson
Custom Shop builders from day one. I have seen a lot of guitars
over my life. These guitars are very well made and rival guitars USA made
products by other manufactures.
A Black SKB Molded hard-shell case included that
fits this guitar as well as any right or left handed Jackson DK/Soloists.
Guitar fits very snug in this case.

Greetings, surfcaster lovers!
I have the good fortune to own 4 Surfcaster 12’s at this time, but the bad fortune to need to divest one of them to appease the finances. There are 2 that I am willing to sell, so whichever goes first will decide which one I get to keep! You are welcome to contact me here for an ‘insider’ price- full details are on the eBay listing, but here are the basics:
Guitar 1 is a Cherryburst 12-string Surfcaster with black logo, Serial #386978. Very minor playwear- One small ding on the top, and the nut has been re-formatted for ‘Ric-style’ string order.
Guitar 2 is a Trans-Red 12’string Surfcaster with white logo, Serial #379208. Very minor playwear.
Both guitars are in near-perfect 9+/10 shape, and your selected Surfcaster will arrive to you in a well-fitting, but non-original hardshell case.
I am located in Utah, USA. Will ship worldwide with the usual caveats.
