Charvel CX291 in black, (Used)

The Charvel CX291 in black is a solid‑body electric guitar built around a lightweight alder body with a sleek black finish and a contoured double‑cutaway design that provides easy access to the upper frets. Its bolt‑on maple neck features a speed‑friendly profile and is paired with a maple or rosewood fingerboard (depending on the specific run) with 22 medium‑jumbo frets and dot inlays, offering smooth playability across the fretboard and a balanced feel for both rhythm and lead work. The scale length is 25.5″, a standard that supports tight low end and articulate high registers.

The electronics layout typically includes two high‑output humbucking pickups, positioned at the neck and bridge, wired through a master volume and tone control with a three‑way pickup selector switch. This configuration delivers a broad tonal range — from warm, rounded tones at the neck to crisp, aggressive drive at the bridge — making the CX291 adaptable for rock, metal, blues, and other styles. The pickups are designed to push amplifiers into rich overdrive while maintaining clarity and definition.

Hardware on the CX291 consists of a fixed hardtail bridge for stable tuning and increased sustain, along with sealed die‑cast tuners that provide dependable tuning stability. The headstock carries Charvel’s signature styling, and the overall construction emphasises playability and performance. With its classic black finish and straightforward, powerful specification, the Charvel CX291 is suited to players seeking a reliable, versatile guitar with a focus on rock‑oriented performance.
