...and by 1989 they were into the toothpaste logos so this 3A would be '87 or '88.
BTW it was made in Japan not Texas.

Does that a=H/H config. hold true for '86 model 5(neckthru) or are all M5's H/H?"tie two birds together and though they have four wings, they cannot fly"Comment

Pretty sure Model 5A = single hum
Model 5 = HH
There's also a 5fx which is Hum/ Slant single"Quiet, numbskulls, I'm broadcasting!" -Moe Howard, "Micro-Phonies" (1945)Comment

Thanks RacerX. Still trying to pin down exactly what I have. Haven't seen any posts about truss rod wrenches. Where can I get one. I feel a vibration I don't like. I hope its loose and not broken. A new Jackson pickup cover would be nice too (Jackson 80 Humbucker). My axe is nearly mint. Logo on the pickup cover is worn. Got a sloppy jack too. Are these common issues?"tie two birds together and though they have four wings, they cannot fly"Comment

MadJack, all model 5's are HH. Truss rod wrenches can be found a lot of places, Stewmac.com is one. A worn Jackson logo on the pup cover, and a sloppy jack are considered normal for a 20 year old guitar that's been played.

It takes a 7mm truss rod wrench. Pretty easy to come by, as is a replacement jack.Comment

According to the "List" it's a Model 5 . But they only came in Red. I think its a Mod 5 with the Mod 5A BC, black cherry paint job.Originally posted by RacerX
