I'll take Mike M's word on it and leave it at that.

If I'm following the debate correctly (maybe not), it goes like this..

The '05 and later pointyheads were made in the J/C USA custom shop. These were full-on custom jobs, although many were done for dealer stock like regular poduction guitars. Think like Jackson USA Selects.

The USA ProMods (stratheads with 6 digit plates) were true production guitars, made on the Fender assembly line. The pre-pro ProMods were also made on the Fender line, but got 4 digit Charvel custom serial plates because the 6 digit plates weren't yet available.

Okay. So then my '05 pointyhead Star was a Custom Shop after all. I don't remember any indication of that, though.

[shreddermon]

Yes, it was. It likely had a 4 digit serial number, just like any custom shop Charvel. Although a few of the early pointy reissues had the etched neck plates like the mid-90s USA Charvels.

Confusing, ain't it? LOL

Very confusing! Mine did have a 4-digit serial on a plate similar to the one in this thread. I traded the guitar to Stuka... wonder if he still has it.

Jackson said the 05 pointy were C/S, but really what do they know.lol
