Please ID my Charvel

[Jimbo]

I thought this was a Predator, but I believe they all had reverse headstocks. Is this a Fusion? Chrome JT6, S-H config. I'm confused. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]Thanks for the help.

I'm thinking that maybe that is a replacement neck. I thought that once they switched to the script logo, all the bodies were converted to dinky strats instead of full sized.

I think you are right. (Not 100% sure, though).
Didn't Charvette bodies have the slanted pickup?

Re: Please ID my Charvel

So far my research on the pickups, 1 volume knob, 5 way switch, chrome hardware says Fusion Deluxe. Just my guess...

Re: Please ID my Charvel

have you had her apart? Any markings in the neck pocket/heel?

Re: Please ID my Charvel

I had it apart yesterday, but the only thing in the neck pocket was a number (I think).....

The Fusions and Predators had a Dinky Strat body. Not a Fusion or Predator. The script style logos also had the Schaller trems on them and not the JT6s I thought. I'm going for a parts mutt.

Re: Please ID my Charvel

was the number anything like "170", did it? Because the body looks kinda like this: http://www.jacksonmuseum.com/archive...f-90-page7.jpg

Re: Please ID my Charvel

btw, how does it intonate? I only ask because if that is a Charvette 170 body it should have a 24 fret neck on it.

Re: Please ID my Charvel

Isnt that just an early 275??

Re: Please ID my Charvel

I completely forgot about the 275 deluxe! I need a graemlin that slaps its head. Yesiree Bob. What you have there is a 275 Deluxe, from around 89-91.

JACKSONWOLF posted a thread with some scans of an old Charvel catalog. Here's the direct link to his page that has the 275 on it.

Re: Please ID my Charvel

Yeah, a very early 275DLX. Remember, by this time all of the bodies for the guitars (except for the 275 and some Charvettes) were dinkies.
