Yippie!

Now, go pick up a decent camera Seriously, nice score!

[nhspike]

thanks man.
hehe
I thought I bought too many guitars, and nobody gave a f*ck anymore.

[scotty]

Nice guitar & score

[spencer4hire]

Nice score. What does it have for pickups?

[nhspike]

as far as I know, dead stock.

but it's a strange 5-way switch:

1. bridge
2. both some kind of filter
3. both series
4. both parallel
5. neck

Or something like that.

I'm sure someone will correct me.

Anyhow, there's a bunch of tones from just two pick-em-ups

very coolie

[DonP]

Great price. I have a fusion deluxe which has the same pickup setup.

[nhspike]

am I even close with my guess as to what the switch positions are?
tough to tell
bunches of good tones in there though

[Spivonious]

I believe the switch is

bridge
bridge coil tap
both
coil tap + neck
neck

Oh, and the neck pup isn't stock AFAIK. It came with a stacked humbucker originally.

[nhspike]

cool...
thanks for the info !

[DonP]

My Charvel Fusion Deluxe has a J90C and a J200R, which appears to be in the pictures of the Predator. Maybe it's a late Predator, because that neck pickup looks like a J200R.

[nhspike]

The guy I bought it from said it was one of the first toothpaste-logo predators... he seemed to know his sh*t with regard to Charvels/Jacksons.
I'll see if I can get some info on the serial number tonight when I get home.

[anuske9]

you've got
quite the
collection
going
on
there

Any plans on buying a USA?
or how bout a group shot.

[Drazden]

Wow, that looks awesome. I love the way H/S pickups look.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's the 'deal' with predators? Where was it built? I think it's just great looking. What's the neck like on them? I've never played a Charvel, I must admit--only Jacksons.
