    Re: newby.

    Well it's definitely not a Charvel 750 - those were archtops with dual hums. I really don't know what you meant with that comment....and it does say "Jackson" on the neck plate after all. Does the headstock say Charvel or Jackson? Is there anything else written on the headstock as well?

          I have been summoned! Not sure, I'd agree though that's it's a Fusion.

            Not an SP. SP = slant pickup. I'm looking at the catalog from '92 and it's similar to the white one on this page. Fusions
            Same frets, same pickups, same controls.
            I can't quite make the name. Either Fusion S5, or SS.

              sorry, you are correct. The Fusion SP had a single at the neck pos. and a slant bridge humbucker. My bad.

              That is a Fusion SS. I had checked Jackson Museum from home when I posted that last night. It's actually much easier to make out the writing in the catalogue on my crappy lower-resolution PC here at work! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

                  It doesn't have to be a Fusion. It could also be a parts mutt with a Charvette body (there is one exactly like that). Only way to be sure would be to measure the scale length.

                    Not sure Charvette's had recessed trem routes. I would say probably not. It looks all Fusion Jackson import right down to the pickups being the same, but we can't see the headstock.

                      These Charvette models had trem routes allright. What's more, I discovered that they were also short scale, so measuring the scale length would prove nothing.

                        Interesting graphic on that white one! Did Charvettes even *have* factory graphics? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

                              Yeah. Now that I look more closely at the pics newby provided though, it appears that at least the bridge is stock (see how it matches the trem route), so I'd have to agree it's more likely to be a Fusion.
