Newb seeking I.D.

[David S.]

Just picked this up last week. The previous owner described it as ''an early 90's 475'' but i've had some trouble finding info on them. The neck is a very well made aftermarket with no headstock logo. The only marking on the neck was ''4-5'' stamped on the heel. Are there supposed to be any markings anywhere else on this thing? The bridge humbucker is a Dimarzio FRED, middle single coil is stock Jackson, and I'm not sure if the pickup the neck position is original or not. It looks to me like a mini humbucker? Maybe someone can I.D. it. It has one volume pot, one push/pull tone pot, a three position blade swithc and a small swithc that seems to simply be on/off... Don't know if that's what it's supposed to do. It has a schaller bridge with the charvel logo. 1 saddle was cracked when purchased so I replaced them with graphtec's. S/N is 359946 if that's of any help. Thanks.

Based on http://www.audiozone.dk/CatalogScans...9Imports01.htm the body looks like a 375 or a 475. Hard to tell if the toggle switch has been added to a newly drilled hole or an existing one.

The neck pocket on the body should be stamped as well. It looks like a nice bound neck mated with a 375 or 475 body.

Good job there, I'd say that is a 475 because the toggle looks to be in exactly the right hole for the middle knob of a 475.

Also, The very high ser# indicates a late 1991.

That 475 special could def. be it. The add shows the transparent red to be an available finish as well.

Thanks Ron, I believe the 100th post permanently raised my intelligence, dexterity and charisma. I can now ID import Charvels from a 100 feet with my eyes closed while playing Eruption.

(The free CS Jackson was kind cool too.)
