Is this a MUTT?

[usmc50bmgsniper92]

is this a mutt? if not what is it and what year? guy claiming it to be over 20 years old.

[El Chiguete]

Those toothpaste Charvel logos where from the early 90's... so it´s not 20 years old.

[usmc50bmgsniper92]

when did they start the toothpaste logo's?

They started in 1989.

If the price is right, buy it. That looks cool. Unless you already did.

[usmc50bmgsniper92]

is it a 375?

[fett]

is it a 375?

No. It's more a Fusion. 24 frets. It looks nice. Not sure about the switches. But, it ain't no 375. Maybe 475.

That one doesn't exactly match any of the Charvel Fusions in catalog scans, but it might be a Fusion Deluxe with the slanted neck single replaced with a hum. The only 2 hum Charvel Fusion in the scans was the Fusion Plus, which had a natural finish, offset dots, a tone knob, and black hardware:

Here's the Deluxe:

same control layout (except for those added mini-switches) & chrome hardware

[usmc50bmgsniper92]

what are the little toggle switchs though? for the pick ups? like on my model 4?

[fett]

They spllt the coils on the humbuckers. I think.

[dg]

They probably are for coil splitting, but they're added after-market, so they could be for whatever the guy wanted. Could also be kill switches, phase switches, etc.

Looks like a mutt to me. Looks like a fusion body with the neck of a 475.
And yes i know just because it has the comfort bevel on the treble side cutaway that doesnt make it a fusion. Im goin by th epickup spacing looking closer than it should for a normal dinky body.

Looks like some sort of fusion to me. Wouldnt a 475 have sharks and binding? And be 22 frets?

Absolutely correct.
