iirc the neck plate simply had charvel/jackson on it, no address..

That would be a Japanese-only or non-US market guitar.

There are a number of different Charvel Rhoads. There was a dual-hum Charvel guitar-logo Rhoads made as well, but that was Japanese-market only as well.

The standard import for the American market was the Avenger, pictured above.

Did you bring us a photo mr. bloodandtears?

...and I happen to like the toothpaste logo. I also like my Avenger.

[bloodandtears]

i actually prefer the toothpaste logo.. more 80's imho

[VitaminG]

Oh, that toothpaste logo SO ruins the design of those axes...

+1

yea, it really ruined those Jackson Rhoads, didn't it?

[Sunbane]

I like both the guitar logo and the toothpaste one.

[jackson1]

[bloodandtears]

ok so, i can confirm its exactly as the catalogue scan, you guys are right its an avenger, ferrari red.. any idea what wood it is? also it needs a trem bar, one of those screw-collar types.

[m2pmd70]

Yes please!

[Sunbane]

Yeah, that one is really cool! I like the black logo with the white outline!

[bloodandtears]

body wood, please??

[Jackson-Charvel]

Sorry for the hijack, but when and why did Charvel stop the Avengers with the 2 single coil pickups in the bridge for a full sized slanted rail humbucker in the bridge (J-85?)? What year was it 1991?

Was it a similar situation like the earlier Model 5A's that came back that were unsold from dealers and routed for a slanted single coil neck pickup and re-sold as a 5FX. Was this why you see Avengers with a 2 single coil bridge pickup as well as a less seen but still not rare slanted railed humbucker.

[slash-ed]

Anything like this?


I "badly" changed the bridge pup, but the neck is nice, I paid nearly £400 for mine when I got it new.

Haha, awesome bridge bezel.
