Model A

They are right before the Model A Plus in the 2002 catalog

There is a blue quilt and a black one.

Re: newer import models

I bought an A+ in late 2003 from Easton...
It was a beautiful natural, and the earlier mentioned specs seem right - ebony board, H-S-S Semour Duncans, Licensed Floyd...pretty good guitar. I'll see if I have any pics and try to post

If you play metal it is the pickup to use.

You'll have to use almost half volume to get a clean sound out of it.

I'm at a loss as to why more metal players don't use it.

I'm going to take the whole metal set out of my Natural Model A and put in some Dimarzio's. The metals are just way too much for what I do.

Re: newer import models

I am putting a set in my black Kelly... cant wait. the regular LW will clean up, and it gets one in the neck, but that bridge pup is gonna be incredible...

Re: newer import models

Willcutt guitar shoppe Richmond Ky has one with the live wires.There Lexington Ky shop has one with regular Duncans.
Check their web site.I just checked and the don't list J/C but they are a Jackson dealer.Both stores still have these two Charvels last time I was in there.They have had them since 2002 I'm sure you could do a smokin deal.

my son has a MOdel A+ pro and I got a Traditional

recently on E-bay.

you can sometimes steal these on E-bay ( if you can find them).

My son's A+ is just black with 24 fret neck. I really liked it when I got it from AMS on a closeout a couple years ago.I paid $358 for it shipped. No pics yet but I'm trying to get my son to bring ot over to put it on the photobucket thingy.

The traditional I got a couple months back for a measly $238. It came in a Charvel box with the tags....looked brand new, original shitty strings even ( they're still on, I need to get on that).

here's a link to some pics:
