Charvel Model 5 - Chitarra di Alberto Radius – Usata in TV e video d’epoca – Provenienza documentata - - Electric guitar - 1986

Guitar Charvel Model 5
In 1986

It is not just a great guitar, but also a piece of Italian music history.

The guitar belonged to Alberto Radius, guitarist for Lucio Battisti and Formula 3, as well as a producer for numerous Italian artists and a session man on many albums within the Italian music scene.

I believe that it is unlikely that there exists another guitar by Alberto Radius accompanied by a video in which the artist himself talks about it and describes it in detail.
The video will obviously be provided along with the guitar to the winning bidder of the lot.

The guitar was played intensely between 1986 and 1990.
In the photographs, traces of glue from the 'Guitar Club' adhesive that was applied to the body are still visible.

The tool is visible in two television broadcasts hosted by Red Ronnie.

Below is one of the videos in which Alberto Radius plays the guitar.
The link you provided is to a YouTube video. Please provide the specific text or content you would like me to translate.

The guitar has been lived with and played, but it still remains perfectly playable.
The handle is straight, the keys are in good condition, and the action is low.
A customized setup is still recommended based on your individual needs.
