n00b question about Jake E.Lee

[npacheco]

I have a n00b question for everyone...

What model of Charvel was Jake's purple and blue stratheads? I have two photos as part of my wallpaper archives and the more I see them, the more they grow on me.

From what I can tell, they are H/S/S config with a volume knob, and 5-way blade selector.

Any info is much appreciated.

And yes, I did a search and came up with nothing on those two axes.

"This guitar (and it's purple sister below) first appeared during photo shoots with Ozzy in late 1985. It was used live on the "Ultimate Sin" world tour. It featured a Brass bridge, Gotoh tuners, and a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker with DiMarzio SDS-1 single coils"

Thanks guys. I figured they might be customs, but wasn't too sure.

FYI, I understand that its the earlier white "Charvel" logoed str@t which is actually an old fender which Jake have "charvled" - shaved the neck etc.

Re: n00b question about Jake E.Lee

The white one was a Fender'70's 3 bolt that had the neck shaved down an converted to the small headstock. A fellow at Charvel did the work including a new paint job. His favorite pickup selection was a Duncan JB in the bridge and DiMarzio SDS-1's in the middle and neck positions. I don't know if he kept these combinations on the Blue and Purple bursts, but I assume so. The white Charvelized strat was Jake's favorite and he virtually wore it out. Just after the white one was a Daphne Blue Charvel with black pickguard prior to getting bursts.
