Can anyone help ID this?

A fusion is the only model that comes to mind when I see that pickup routing, but it's got a vintage style trem... The strat headstock throws me off even further...

Japanese market Charvel.
Strathead Charvel imports were not sold in the US.

Tekky has a import strat head I think. There were a few that were sold here. I can't remember if they were apart of the ST series or the CH series.

I think they're ST series. IIRC, Vic has one and maybe Gary as well.

[David S.]

So, most likely an original Jap market model.. Thanks..

Too bad he's so proud of it.

[mudkicker]

Hell, I'd be proud of it. There is probably less than 10 import strat heads on this entire forum. Quite the rare here in the states. Nothing to be ashamed of unless it's a complete turd.

425 seems fair if it's in good shape.

It's Genebaby that has it. I've got a CHS2 (and CHS4) with the Pseudo-strathead. I did not get a chance to see the listing so I am not sure what the guitar that is originally in question.

One thing I've never understood with the "shame it's tog that toothpaste logo" comments. Do you dislike the Jackson logo too?

If you'll look closely, you'll realize that the Charvel Script logo is the same font as the Jackson logo. Apparently it was a move to bring both brands closer together.

I personally like it better then the orignal logo. I just don't have any with the logo.

No, I just don't like the toothpaste Charvel logo. The first Charvel I ever saw had the guitar logo, and like a baby duck, I imprinted upon that. Thus, I do not like other Charvel logos.

OK, just can't grasp that concept. To me it's a minor cosmetic thing that doesn't affect my desire of them at all.
