Difference between Predator, Fusion, 275/270 ?

[Junior]

Howdy Folks,

Was wonderin' if there's a easy way to tell the difference between these models. Slanted single, or slanted Humbucker. Reverse headstock, JT600, 22 or 24 frets. I'm just lost...

Thanks in advance,
Junior

Well, a 270 is a Charvette I believe. Top of the line one too.

The 275 has two slanted singles in a humbucker confing at the bridge.

The predator has a normal hum at the bridge and a slanted single at the neck along with a reverse headstock.

A fusion is easy to tell as they have 24 frets, other bolt-ons from that era had 22 and are standard Fender scale. A fusion also should have a lower horn cutaway.

All of these guitars have dot markers.

A 375 also has dots but has a hum-sin-sin config, then the 475 is the same but has sharkfins instead of dots.

Finishes vary model to model.

Also the Fusion is 24.75" scale length. The 275 and 475 are 25 1/2in.

Thanks guys! It seems the model I'm intrested is the Predator. I've been out bid on Ebay 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Let's see if I can make it number four.
Thanks again,
