    The logo would seem to indicate yes.

        The Charvel logo on the headstock: The logo itself has a pointy headstock, plus it says "Charvel/Jackson" right below it.

          Looks like DK-085-SSH, but with Maple board.
          Models
          The prudes may snub them, but I don't care.
          I dont need furniture.
          If its tough, shreds, and screams, Its all good.
          If it gets jacked, I'll get another one.
          And rock that sucker.

              By "non-LP" I'm assuming you mean "non-Low Profile", as opposed to "non-LesPaul"?

              Not all Floyd recesses were done for low profile trems. Early ones were done merely so the rear of the trem didn't crash into the body when pulled up. Many of these guitars also retained the higher neck angle since the bridge was effectively above the body, not sitting in a recess as they do now.
              I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

              The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

                The lack of an address on the neckplate is a sometimes (but not always) indicator of Japan market only. I had a seafoam green surfcaster once that had a plate with no address.
