Re: Model 6 (pic)

Very nice....I have an '86 Red Mod 6, an '87 Blue Mod 6. It would be nice to Americanize my guitar collection by adding an '86 " White " Mod 6. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

That is nice though! [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

The red is nice - it really shows off the binding and the sharkies.

Re: Model 6 (pic)

white is becoming my favourite solid colour recently, and this is no exeption on that preference, it looks amazing!

Re: Model 6 (pic)

Super clean find!

Such nearly mint examples of a 20 year old guitar are becoming very hard to find. Good for you!

I for one love my Model 6 above all other guitars that I have ever owned. And there has been nearly 30!

It just feels so smooth and plays so effortlessly....

Re: Model 6 (pic)

I had a white model 6 about 10 years ago - it wasn't as nice as this one, and I've always regretted trading it in (I think I traded it towards an original 76 Explorer, which I still have.) I've been looking for a nice one ever since, but every one I found was not as clean as I wanted. I just wish that the Charvel white didn't turn so yellow...

Re: Model 6 (pic)

Hey Ninja - what PUP do you have in the bridge position? Comments?

VERY clean M6, great score [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

My model 6 is also going nowhere, ther are USAs going out the door first... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Bridge Pup on mine is a J-90C, 2x J-200 singles... Box stock except for the paint, but the paint was also on it when I acquired it was sold to me as "new" (the post may still be somewhere from 2 years ago).... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Model 6 (pic)

Nice guitar, bro. Paint looks sweet!I had a singlehum USA Soloist from the mid-80's that I sold to get some cash to buy my house (that's a story for another post - stay tuned). IMHO, the Model 6's that I had/have played as well or even better, at less than half the $$.

Re: Model 6 (pic)

All my guitars have Full Shreds at the bridge. Neck thru's tend to sound to "bassy or woody" sometimes and the Full Shred solves that I find.

The Model 6 in question has that pickup wired straight to the volume pot. The three way switches as well as the two single coils are not connected.

I suppose i would have wired them up when I bought the guitar but since it did not come with the stock mid-boost, I elected not to as those Jackson stacked "single coils' do not sound to hot without the active boost even though they are passive pickups.

As for the individual switches, I am not fan of those either so I left them unused. The JT-6 (yuck!) was instantly replaced with an OFR. I am sort of okay with the old style locking nut that came with the guitar but I do hear some intonation problems on the low strings that a real Floyd nut should solve.

Mind you I play with GHS 11-50's so the nuts grooves are probably to small for such thick strings.

Overall, this is by far my best guitar and is never

Re: Model 6 (pic)

Very sweet Model 6 you've got there. My 650xl is by far my #1 player. And since everyone else is posting pics of theirs, I might as well post another pic of mine, right? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
