1990 fusion "pro"

[kevfusion]

to all my friends at JCF , i purchased new in august of 1990, a Jackson Fusion "pro" series. Transparent amber over flame maple, active electronics, 5-way, bound neck, inlays, the works. (if you find on-line an origial catalog, you will see my guitar, it's the one from the catalog-finish and all!!) So here is my dilemma, In trying attain a value for this bird, i have discovered, that all jackson 'pro' series had a Jat the start of the serial # and 7 didgits in the serial#. Mine has no J and only 6 didgits. the serial # is 900890, like i have said i owned this guitar from new, august 1990, and still have it. Any info would be great anf i do appreciate your time.. kev.

In trying attain a value for this bird

If you've had it for 20 years, why part with it?

that's a neckthru thing, not a PRO thing. Yours is a bolt-on so your serial number is correct

How are you certain you have the catalog guitar? Or are you saying it's the same finish as the one in the catalog?

[kevfusion]

same finish as the catalog guitar, and as far as a neck thru or bolt on, what would the difference be? a pro is a pro is it not? I am just asking because i am getting conflicting reports on the serial# issue..

[VitaminG]

they used different serials for bolt-ons and neckthrus. Check the US Serial # Charts and you'll see this has always been the case.

For the imports, J serials are for neckthru Jacksons, C serials are neckthru Charvels. Import bolt-ons, starting with the Model series Charvels, initially had 6 digit serials. This continued into import Jackson bolt-ons. In due course, they started using 7 digit and then 8 digit serials.

There are exceptions & variations, but these are the general rules.

I don't know where your conflicting information is coming from but your serial number sounds right for an import Jackson made in 1990.

Nothing conflicting about it, yours is a 1990, and it's a bolt on. As described above, there is a different numbering scheme for neck throughs. I thought you might have had the actual catalog guitar, that would have been really cool.
