    Interesting neck thru

    I was at a guitar show in Columbus, OH today and saw an interesting Charvel import. Here's the specs:

    -24 fret neck thru with binding on the neck and headstock
    -rosewood board with dots
    -non-recessed Jackson licensed floyd (JT-6)
    -serial # stamped into the last fret (started with a "C")
    -Charvel guitar logo on the headstock
    -single Jackson humbucker with a single volume knob

    I have 2 model 6s and have seen some model 5s (all with 2 humbuckers). But I've never seen a single hum, neck thru import. I even looked through my Charvel catalogs from the 80's when I got home to see if I could find out what it is. So what is this? Some version of a model 5?

    It had some dings and dents and it was black (not a fan of all black guitars). Otherwise I would have snagged it.

    Any thoughts from you guys? Anyone else ever see something like this?

    It's a Model 5A. They were made in '88 only, and some were routed for a slanted single in the neck and dubbed the 5FX. Here's a scan from the '88 catalog with the 5A:

          Hey, I think that used to be mine. I got it in a trade from Doc Dryer for a Model 6, then I sold it to YetAnotherOne, then he sold it to someone else. That thing gets around!

            AFAIK, none of the M5 variations had binding though.

              Heh, good catch! Either somebody added binding to it, or maybe it's one of those models made only for the Japanese market that made its way over here.

                      Yeah, Dave modded that one by filling in the other pups and painting it day-glo pink.

                        That's still the best looking Model 6 I've ever seen. Great job Dave!

                          I have to agree. That guitar is just badass.
