The Mother Of All Info Threads: Part I

[toejam]

Concept Series:

The DR-3 and DR-5 were similar, if not identical, except for the inlays. The DR-3 had MOTO sharkfins, and the DR-5 had offset dots.

Also, the DR-3 had a Gibson-type toggle switch, and the DR-5 had a blade switch, if I recall correctly.

[toejam]

And here's my Dinky HX. Only about 100 were made in '94 (according to Kevin Easton). And I don't think it was ever featured in a catalog. They came stock with a push/pull coil tap on the tone pot, and cheap import pickups labled LP-38 (10.0) and LP-HM (10.2).

[Sunbane]

Forgot to mention: The Rhoads 59 and the RR-L/L limted runs were both imports. I don't know their country of manufacture for sure, but i think it was Japan.

Don't forget the Charvel Questar & Questar Deluxe

Orange items need clarification (are the Subs finished? What was that KV VWall did? Other Dealer-Exclusive runs that were completed? Who did those "SuperClean PC Archtops?)

My PC is still tied up (lost a USB HD, need to get a new external housing for it), and my laptop's buggy, so I'd like to ask those who want to help to scour various websites for pics, specs, and missing models (there's a Rhoads VT or something like that out there somewhere).

If you don't have anywhere to host the pics I'll set up a folder on my site you can upload them to....as soon as my PC frees up

Anyhoo, obviously JCFers who have pics of their own are free to submit them, as well as specs and such if you have them.

BUT, please don't go to Rob Witte's site or JacksonMuseum.com or any other collector sites like that and start stealing their pics. Ask them for permission to use their pics for this project. If you see pics on Ebay, MySpace, Yahoo, dealers, etc, then snag 'em, but don't just go pillaging

If you get pics from Ebay, make note of the serial number (especially on imports because of the serialization format changes), serial location (plate, head, sticker, etc), pickups, controls, control route, bridge, head shape and direction, neck/board/inlays, body wood (if available), and whatever else you can (copy/paste the description if you have to), and name the image according to what model it is (i.e. Model_5.jpg).
This will make it easier and faster to compile the info later.

Thanks

The Road Hazard Rhoads was USA only

Possibly need to add Double Rhoads

There were different versions of the Ltd RR

Need to add Shannon Soloist (late 90's run and now)

Some dealer thoughts:

VWall did a SL2H as well (purple burst)
Matt's Green Meanie and Alexi Laiho runs?
Musiczoo's limited run Charvels (oiled mahog, ash, maple and koa, and matt black).
Bizarro PC1s?
Fuller's Collen archtops (string thru, no inlays, red / black or yellow)
Didn't Matt at onlinestagegear do a limited Chlorine run?

[AlexL]

For Prototypes, don't forget the Disruptor.

Tim owns it, unless someone bought it from his recent sale.


- E.

[Newc]

Disruptor is under Customs/Signatures. Prototypes I'd say reserve for the Becker and the Lachman, because those were intended as production models.
Unless the Disruptor was originally going to be a production model?

Are the Alexi Laiho and Green Meanie runs completed/shipped or are they still in waiting?

What are Bizarro PC1s? What dealer did they go through?

Those Collen Archtops of Fuller's are the SuperClean run.

Question:
Was there a Charvel 650 and a 650XL?

[RacerX]

Newc, there was no Kelly XL Pro, just Kelly XL.

Also, I'm pretty sure there wasn't a KVX10D model

just KVX10

[Newc]

I thought Matt's Music did a stringthrough Chlorine Soloist? SL1T?

Did VWall do 2 Soloists? One SL2H (purple) and an SL2HT, or did the one run have both Floyd and s/t in it?

Then there's the SL2GX. What others did Lloyd have? I know he had the RR Legend import and the Road Hazards.

Easton had a Chlorine Roswell run? Did that get built or was it just the proto?

On the Charvel Surfcasters, would that be:
-Surfcaster
-Surfcaster HT
-Surfcaster 12
?

[Newc]

Newc, there was no Kelly XL Pro, just Kelly XL.

Also, I'm pretty sure there wasn't a KVX10D model

just KVX10

Thanks for the clarification, Ron.

Can I get a second opinion on the KVX10/D from anyone? I thought that whole "X10" range had a "D" option?

[toejam]

Are the Alexi Laiho and Green Meanie runs completed/shipped or are they still in waiting?

The Green run was completed awhile ago.

The AL semi-replica model was recently shipped, only three were made.

Question:
Was there a Charvel 650 and a 650XL?

According to Henrik's catalogs, in '91 there was a 650 Custom

In '89 it was 650 XL

Thanks for the clarification, Ron.

Well, there was a KX10D, a Kelly. Probably where the confusion lies.
