Single Humbucker Soloist?

[Big Al]

I have really been wanting a single humbucker, reverse headstock Soloist. Since it appears that you cannot eliminate a pickup from the base model of a Jackson custom select, I will start searching the usual venues for a used one.
Did Jackson or Charvel every have a production model, neck-thru, single hum, Floyd Rose guitar? I am guessing not, since it would be such a limited market for the single hum. I could live without the reverse headstock. Was there anything in the import line?

The Charvel Model 5a is a single humbucker soloist, dot inlay, and a normal headstock.

Thanks, I will have to look at the 5A. I am curious what inlays it has. I did see the 5FX but I believe it has a single at the neck and the one I saw had the locking nut behind the nut.

Any others?

I've seen a few Custom Shops that way at the Music Zoo. One was just on ebay a couple of weeks ago, but very pricey.

No, there's never been a production single hum soloist. You just missed one on ebay for $1425, rev head and all.

I was watching that one too. Cool piece from 1988.

In case anyone wants to see what we're talking about:

The 5A has dot inlays. The 5FX were actually 5A models that got sent back to the factory to have added slanted single coils in the neck and a toggle switch; some also got tone controls.

Closest thing I had was a Stagemaster...

That's cool. Seller mislisted it..it's actually an '89. Can tell that with the half-route under the Floyd...plus the serial dates it to '89!

Nice catch. I didn't double-check since I wasn't bidding.

Here's a red 5a that's been listed on CL for a couple months. I've thought about grabbing this one but would really like someone local to check it out first.
