2 serials....

[Fix_Metal]

I did not found any topic including a list of S/N Imports, so I got this question.
I'd like to identify 2 guitars.
One is a Jackson Kelly. I suppose it's an old one.
It has 2 HH Duncan Designed PUs, bolt on neck and a JT580 bridge.
It's SN# (on neck plate) is: 9677054
It looks exactly like this one

The other one is a very strange model which I can't identify.
I've seen 3 guitars like this on sell in the last 2 weeks....this one should be a Japan made. Dunno the model, just the serial and some pics.
Body and head
It's SN# (on neck-plate) is: 914573


Other pics of another one identical guitar

hope somebody will help me to clarify this 2nd guitar

bye

Can't see the links for the second guitar... 403.. forbidden

Just fixed. My bad, it was a link to a forum-upload space

90-91 Fusion... with some mods it looks like.

I'd take a wild guess that the pups aren't original on the Kelly. Didn't Duncan Designed just come out like 3-4 years ago?

Well...look @ the specs on this page:

No, they go back way longer than that. The RR3 had them as early as 1997.

I had an old ST-series Kramer in the early 90's that had a humbucker that read "Designed by Seymour-Duncan" if I recall correctly. I'm thinking that may have been a precursor to the DD pickups.

Going back to topic, if the thing looks like a KE3, then it may just be a KE3.
Both serials indicate japanese make. Production time is hard to determine from the serial.
To be sure, you need to take the neck off and look in the neck pocket/heel.

Well thanks for your reply concerning the kelly. It was not intended to be the main question
the problem remains...we don't know the model of that strange jackson......

Did a little digging in the catalogs and it looks like a Charvel 275 Deluxe body with a Jackson Professional neck... parts mutt.

Do you have the guitar on hand? Then take the neck off like I suggested and have a look. Just don't overtighten the screws when you put it back together... =P

I said that's not mine!
thank you rjohn

[Sunbane]

I said that's not mine!

Errr...no you didn't.

I found this should be the guitar, with a jackson neck on it and the bridge cavity modified to hold a real humbucker, not 2 singles.
