    jdr-94 and ps4 alot of questions and size diff

    I recently sold a model 3 to someone that used to own a guitar center and was a lic jackson charvel dealer,he sent pictutres to prove this.he said acouple of things that make alot of sense,first was that they still use bodies and necks that where made in japan in the 90s,hence the inconsistencies in a lot of the models that are out there today and the issues with them. Everyone knows the PS4 is the spawn of the JDR-94, but there are a lot of variances of the body and neck sizes. This guy, Mark, said that for limited run or concept guitar, even the Japan factory was only going to produce 600 of them, they might have made 2,000 of the bodies and necks to that model. The jig setup for the cutting of the bodies and necks only change slightly per run until you end up with a bigger body and thicker neck it seems. I have a PS4 and a Charvette. The Charvette is only a 24 and 3/4 scale neck and there is virtually no diff. in size between my PS4 and my Charvette. I was just wondering if others have noticed the same differences.if you could post pics of ps4 besides 25.5 scale guitars,at the moment i dont have one to compare it with,but would have to say it is much smaller then the pro dinkys i have owned?

    hey john as a note. just cause someones a j/c dealer or was one doesnt mean he knows his shit. now if he worked at j/c thats a whole different thing. it does make sense tho. heres the pic of your set

    but in my observation of this pic there are many differences. i mean the body is a totally different cut. the overall length of the ps-4 seems to be about an inch or so longer. now as far as scale, the scale is the distance from the trem to nut so there is definitly a difference. one is a charvette, one is a jackson. there will be difference. what do you mean by virtually no difference? how?

                not sure about the membership thing ask an admin. or do a search on it. still how do you mean virtually no difference. also instead of double posting you can edit your last one. just a pointer.

                edit- i aint startin shit. just tryin to understand what you mean.

                and anyways you're the one adding info that doesnt pertain to the thread title.

                  The charvette is 25.5 scale. Don't known where you came up that it's 24.75. The fusions are the only dinky/strat J/C that is short scale.

                    Depends what model Charvette.

                    Though, his is a 22-fret model, so I think it would be 25.5" scale.

                      true that. but by the pic johns isnt either of those. doesnt have the extra cut on the bottom horn and doesnt sport that soloist look.

                      edit- im an idiot i didnt see your last line joe.

                      oh and john dont get discouraged. all these guys know alot so if you're wrong about somethin they WILL let you know, but thats a good thing.

                        I know. I edited to say his seems to be 25.5" with the 22 frets and strat body.

                          I didn't know there was a charvette version of the fusion. Those have to be pretty rare. It's still a fusion so I cover myself.

                              not that i'm doubting you, but if you measure the nut to the 12th fret and double that measurement it will give you the scale.
