Don't worry - I'll smack her if it comes to that. You do not sell guitars to buy shoes. You skimp on food to buy shoes! ~Mrs Tekky 06-03-08~ -

Re: SD Forensics Experts - got a live one here
Can you see any primer under the chips? if not than I do not think it was a serialized guitar.
Tracy is right on with perfect examples of the paint, overspray and bare wood of control cavaties. I think at some point someone was putting a cover on before painting to keep the cavity clean and not have to mask. I will check mine out to confirm but I think he is dead on.
Square jack plate also makes me think "parts" body and never serializedIt's not a competition, it's a communityComment

Re: SD Forensics Experts - got a live one here
Both of my Stars (the Shattered Glass Jackson and 83 Charvel from Elderly) have a square jackplate - is that like a bad thing? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
I recall someone mentioned something about the jackplate when I posted pics of the Shattered Glass [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
What sorta plate (if any) should they have?I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Interesting.
The plate that was on the Charvel Star was 2xxx range (can't recall offhand). The Shattered Star came with a production-model plate.
The neck of the Charvel was dated 83 - nothing on the body. The body doesn't have bevels.
Anyhoo, I sent them the info gathered here and offered them $750 + shipping + PayPal fees but haven't heard anything - I guess they're too busy laughing [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
It'd cost at least that much to get one new from Warmoth, and this one's already painted and hardwared [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
