Description: 

The Charvel Model 5FX is one of the top line guitars of the Charvel Model series. The Charvel Model 5FX features a neckthrough construction with a maple neck and poplar body. As opposed to the Charvel Model 5, the Model 5FX  just features one humbucker, the Jackson J-95 and a slanted neck pickup, the Jackson J-100S. It somewhat reminds me of the Peavey Vandenberg.
