Model 7 w/Floyd?

[scotty]

Did the Model 7 or Legend ever come with a Floyd style and a Hum in the bridge? I could have sworn I had seen one, unless it was a custom Jackson.
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Gotoh telly style bridge. If it were a Model 7 or a Legend, then it was heavily modified.

I've never seen a Charvel version, but I've seen a couple USA Jackson versions with Floyds and Kahlers.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Scotty was asking about a Charvel Tele with a Floyd. I said I've never seen a Charvel version with a Floyd, silly. [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Damn, I am glad I didn't ask a religious question. So no Charvel Teles came with a Floyd, but Jacksons did. Was that only USA guitar, custom, or possible an Import?

Good thing you didn't ask a religious question... We would have just ignored you. [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Was it a dead-on facsimilie of a Tele body or something with a little more of an exaggerated top "stub"?

There was an import Jackson model that was similar to the tele style that had a floyd. Other than that there were no production Jacksons with tele bodies. Everything else came out of the custom shop.

Re: Model 7 w/Floyd?

The import Jackson model was called a JTX. I did some more research last night. Still diging for info.

Re: Model 7 w/Floyd?

Right, brain was working slow on the Tue-Monday. So have you defined whether that's the body style, or is it a tele body style.

Re: Model 7 w/Floyd?

I beleive this is a tele body style, w/ pick guard, H/S/S config with a coil splitter, and a floyd. This is a none reverse pointy headstock. There also was a Standard and a Professional version. This sound right to you?

Re: Model 7 w/Floyd?

Well, it sounds like the JTX or the JTX Standard (both were "Professionals" because both were made in Japan), but both to me are only similar to a tele body style because the top "stub" is a little more exaggerated than a standard tele.

For example...

This is my Model 7

This is the JTX Standard

Notice that slight cutaway in the top "stub".
