Looks like a Model 550 XL. Late 80's/Early 90's IIRC. The digit after the C in the serial will tell you the year. If it is a C9, it was made in 89. If a C0, it was made in 90. Nice guitars but I personally wouldn't go more than 400-450 without a case.

Don't know what the goob is. Haven't been able to see in person yet.
The serial begins with c0. This prolly a way better player than the new jackson soloist x series I'm thinking.

Maybe...but one thing is for sure it's a lot cooler!!!
