in my research, I've found that it's probably a charvel model 2 or 3 of some kind. year 1986 to 1988. runs about $250-$450 on ebay, though in much better condition then his.

I know it's worth more then $100, but he doesn't, if I gave that guitar the kind of care and attention it deserved, I think it could be a pretty nice axe though. seeing this guitar like this was kinda like watching an animal being abused, you just want to help the poor thing in any way you can. plus I just hate to see what seems to be such a nice guitar go to waste on someone who doesn't even play. I'll offer him $150 or $175 and see what he says.
