I am guessing its a model 6 of some sort. Does anyone know what its worth? It was free to me from a friend. I am not planning on selling it,.. but I just want to know. The serial # is C805105. It plays like a dream.

Not sure of any of those things I'm afraid. Hopefully someone who knows more will come along. However, the story behind the 5FX (as I've heard it here on the JCF) is pretty interesting.
There was the Model 5, which had two humbuckers, and the Model 5A, which had one humbucker only. Apparently the 5A didn't sell well, and a portion of those guitars went back to Jackson/Charvel's import office in Fort Worth to have a neck pickup fitted. Why they chose to put in a slanted singlecoil, of all things, is beyond me - but it's a cool story.

The 5FX was only available in '88. I believe that was the case for the 5A as well. The regular Model 5 was available from '86 through '88. Value can fluctuate on these, but I think right now it would be in the $400 - $500 range in the US.Comment
