New Here!!!!Have a few sd to ID...

[charveljunkie]

first off hello to all jackson & charvel brothers!!!!!!
I have a couple of san dimas guitars that I need you guys to help figure out???

<<<pix here>>>

First up a 7-up color with pointy headstock gold label? American/overseas reissue???
6 digit serial number on neck plate I won this on ebay and let me say it was not represented as a san dimas just an 80's metal guitar predator??
But what got my eye was the gold charvel label??
Next up a jackson graphic guitar with a san dimas neck plate # 6631 I thought anything above 5492??
was a fake?? I bought both guitars for $250.00 a piece so maybe I did not get hurt to bad.
On the plate on the back of the jackson graphics it says custom made for in 1990 would that make this an ontario guitar and maybe somebody had a san dimas plate added??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Tony

5492 applies to charvel, not Jackson. For Jackson anything higher than 1505 was made in Ontario with a leftover SD plate. That's a cool Jackson, great score on the 2 especially for 250.00!

Thanks for the reply,
jsullysix being a parts guitar is the body a japan
and the neck usa? or both japan parts?
ManyAxes sorry I will have to keep it I bought it in 1986 from the original owner its a pretty old one serial j1528
when I got it was perfect condition but I have beat the hell out of it over years!!shame on me!!
Snapped the headstock partially off during a Geffen record showcase in the early-mid 90's
I need to get in touch w/ gmw and see what a refinish would cost to put it back into shape??
or should I leave it alone??
Thanks for the reply!!

Thanks again for the replies.

I would send GMW the Soloist. They use the same finish and stuff, so it is worth sending out and having fixed up.

Did someone put later pickup rings on it? They look like the post '86 wide type.

Re: New Here!!!!Have a few sd to ID...

i recognize the "cursing" jackson...cool guitar...i think it was in atlanta for a little while but i couldn't raise the money (it was more than what you paid)...you got really lucky scoring it for 250...and that red soloist looks suspiciously like tony waters' soloist...d.m.

Re: New Here!!!!Have a few sd to ID...

Jim,
Do you have a number and a contact for gmw?
When I bought the guitar in 86 I was told thats the way he ordered it??I doubt it?? Black tuning keys/gold floyd?? Maybe
I would like to find out what it came with I believe it had a black floyd on it
as far as the p/u rings thats what was on it
I'am in need of a metal switch tip and correct truss rod cover if anybody has them for sale
Thanks

Here is a link to GMW.

Lee will have the truss rod covers, but I am unsure about the switch tips. Those are the hardest Jackson part for me to find, followed by the earlier brushed aluminum jackplates.

this may be of some help on the green one... if not, send a pm to jgcable, he can be of more info...

Re: New Here!!!!Have a few sd to ID...

I think the body and neck are Jap! As far as the 85' soloist I think it has alot of vibe and mojo, you might kill all that by getting it refinned. I've sold guitars because they were TOO clean and had no personality! [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img] Depending on how bad the headstock is I'd probably get that fixed though. Scratches and vibe is one thing for me but broken is another...Gmw will do a great job and you won't be sorry! I've got a Jake and it is KILLER! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
