Old Charvel

looks like a top mount floyd.

Oh so there's no cavity for the back of the bridge or is it more like a Kahler?

there is a cavity...hard to see because of the blue surface it is sitting on.  look at the photo of the back.

Oh yeah but I mean the back pocket isn't very long, could it fit a Schaller or original Floyd Rose?

Yes, it definitely looks like a floyd route.

The difference is that your guitar's trem route looks to be recessed whiles that guitar isn't.  In other words the trem will sit higher.  Not sure if that means other changes are required.  There may be an issue with the neck pocket as a result???

+1...top mount = non-recessed...

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of :S

I might go and buy this one actually:

Just not too fond about the finish, although I must admit I don't dislike it at all.

very 80s.  Look at the bright side, if you get it for cheap you can always strip it and re-finish.

Back in the day, I put an ESP jackson replacement neck onto a crappy Hohner strat.  This was back when ESP's business was mainly about spare parts.  At the time, Charvels / Jacksons didn't have recessed trems - that didn't start showing up until the late 80s - ibanez were probably the first to do that.  Anyway, the hohner was more or less built to strat standards - which is equivalent to a recessed floyd in charvel terms.  Had to mess with the neck pocket from a width standpoint but once the neck was in the string height was ok.  So chances are, the first body will work out if you are prepared to live dangerously.
