Predator? or not a Predator?

I have been told that the guitar I have is a Charvel Predator but, I have been seeing a few pics of other predator's and mine looks different than those. Mine has a beveled area on the lower horn for neck access and on the back of the body by the neck it is recessed like a fusion or a Jackson pro series dinky reverse. Mine is a 24 fret bolt on with a Ft. Worth neck plate (Japan)
and toothpaste logo. Thanks for any help.
Hear is a link to a pic of my guitar:

Yours is a Fusion dude. Predators had reverse head stocks and no scalloped lower horn.

Measure the scale length. If it's 24.75 like a Gibson, then it's a Fusion.

Isn't there 2 fusion models? a Fusion and a pro fusion, if so which would this be?
Thanks for the help

The Fusion Pro was a Jackson model.

It's a Fusion deluxe. There was also the Fusion Special, the Fusion Plus and the Fusion custom.

Just as an additional note. The Predators have a slanted single rail pickup in the neck, and only have 22 frets.
