Hi, My name is Stu from NYC. This is a wild hail Mary pass but here goes. Here is a pic of me with my Jackson guitar that was stolen from me around 1992. I ordered it directly from the catalog around 1986. I ordered it at the old Sam Ash on 48th st NYC (all gone now of course). I picked the design and the color. For whatever reason, I ordered from what I thought would be a Charvel but the guitar arrived with the Jackson logo. It had one Jackson humbucker and one single coil with a Fender style knife switch. It had an original Floyd Rose system. From what I heard, it was sold to the store right across the street from Sam Ash that bought used gear. I still have the original bill of sale somewhere in my house. I have to dig it out because I'm sure it has a serial on it. I have absolutely never seen another Jackson from this era with this design or configuration. For all I know, this was a one off. I attached a link to the Jackson/Charvel catalog. They have this exact design only with purple stripes. I ordered my guitar from this catalogue:

Lord knows, over the years, people butchered their guitars. They repainted, routed, added pickups, anything you can imagine so this guitar may not even exist in one piece anymore. I have a faint hope that since the guitar looked so cool, it wasn't molested. My other hope is that since it's so unique, someone will recognize my long lost prize. It cost $1,200 in 1986 to order a custom Charvel from the catalog. That's over $2,700 scaled up to today's money. a LOT of money for a broke metal head to save up back in 1986. Thanks fellow enthusiasts and if anything. I hope my post starts an interesting thread!
