Reason for Charvel's toothpaste-logo numbering system? (275, 375, 475, 550, 650, 750)

[Number Of The Priest]

We have certain model numbers in the Charvel "toothpaste logo" guitars that have a numbering convention.

The 275, 375, and 475 end in "75".

The 550, 650, and 750 end in "50".

I mean, why not name them the 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700? I can't figure out the significance behind the final two digits.

Semi-related: In my residential neighborhood, there are many short streets where the address numbers are in the thousands. A street that has maybe 30 houses on it might have the following silly addresses:

1501 Anywhere Street
1502 Anywhere Street
etc.
All the way up to 1530 Anywhere Street

Instead of starting at #1501 and ending at #1530, why not just start at #1 and stop at #30? There are clearly not fifteen hundred houses on this tiny street anyway.

Same thing with the Charvels. Why not SIMPLIFY the numbers? Yngwie was wrong; More is NOT more.

A number of the models that had toothpaste logos had Japanese Market-only versions that had guitar logos. For whatever that's worth.

Were they also called x75 and x50?

Good question. Although I feel like there is no real good reason, and it was the brainchild of one person with a fairly obscure reason.

Maybe 75 = bolt on and 50 = neck through/set neck?

[rjohnstone]

Maybe 75 = bolt on and 50 = neck through/set neck?

Sounds reasonable given that it matches up with the models and specs.

That's actually brilliant and makes sense.

Dont forget the predator. Doh! Ill let the fusion slide because it crosses Brands, years, country of manufacture, etc.
