Hmm, I have a model 4A in the grey Chainsaw case, in good condition, no fretwear.  Dark Purple metallic body, rosewood board, jumbo frets with sharkfin inlays, 1987 vintage I think given the original small "Charvel" logo, hair metal heaven :-)

I might be selling a rare as hens teeth 1987 5A (single pickup, 24 fret, neckthru) in cobalt blue or are you only interested in bolt-ons?

bloodandtears

There is one for sale here. I think the sellers asking price is a bit optimistic but it does Have Make an offer.

I do know for a neck for a Model 1a that may be possibly be for sale and it is the version with TM on the headstock and I also know for a scratchplate for a 1a and two single coils. it is possible to buy old 1a bodies on ebay if you wanted to put one together yourself which might be a cheap option. let me know if you are interested in the neck and rest of the parts.

Here is one I sold awhile back to a friend .
I bought this from @RevMatt and fitted it with a new scratch plate that was cut for 1 hum 2 singles with a 5 way switch 1 volume and 2 tone.
I sold it to a friend I play with and I still get to play it every week and it's a superb guitar.

No Prob . I will keep my eyes open for anything that might be of use.
What do you intend doing with the Model 1A if you find one are you going to keep it stock with the 3 single coils or put some rails in there or use a different scratchplate for humbuckers.

stock.. I own no fixed bridge strats.. but Charvels are my axe of choice..   your Red Charvel pic is nice..

The single coils in that guitar in the picture were really great sounding pickups.
Even though the guitars from the Model series are Japanese the pickups are Jackson USA ones and the single coils for that era were being wound by Abigail Ybarra
