Hi John

I have a few model 5s and 6's

A clean one should run you in the 300's but less than 400 with a case.

I only have the double hum version but others here have the 5fx (1 double 1 single) and their is a 5 with just a double.

Hey, looks like I got a Jap Model 5, I just found out. I couldnt figure it out forever, and someone replied to another thread I had saying it looked like an '86-'87 Jap model 5. My pic is blurry too though. Sorry. But its neck thru and not as yellow as this pic shows-its more of a white with a natural yellowing from the age.

It's a 1986 model 5a, like I said in the other thread.

Re: Model 5 info

flyingvien,
The model 5 is a nice guitar

I like the 5 and 6 alot. I have a sl3 Jackson neck thru that I just got Its a new 2002. I would not buy one new over a model 5/6 used.

If you consider another guitar try the model 6 next. It has a nice pick up arangement.
