Re: USA Professional?????

He either has a Professional or he has a USA, it´s pretty much as simple as that [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

And theres no way in hell that anything "professional" is pre 1990, just doesn´t work that way. The Imports before that bore the Charvel name [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

*edit after Pic was posted*
That´s also not a dinky but a Soloist, at least it looks neck-thru. My Guess is a Soloist Archtop [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

i'm like 99% sure it's a bolt on... i've been 35cm from it.

And he won't believe me it's not a USA. That's why i'm triple checking everything before i go make an ass of myself, hahahahahaha

It's a Post 1990 Japanese made Soloist Archtop. Basically, a Charvel 750 XL

Hahahahaha, I told him this when was drinking with him last month and he refused to believe me.

Hahahaha, i'm not trying to prove him wrong, this was more to satisfy my own curiosity.

Re: USA Professional?????

They are set neck , with a maple neck , mahogany body with a flame maple cap.They have all the same appointments as a USA Jackson , ebony board , MOP inlays , MOP logo. the one I have is just as nice as my SL1.If it did not say Professional on the headstock you would never know it was a Japanese built guitar.

Re: USA Professional?????

They're correct...set neck...Jackson Japanese model Archtop....made in the Early 90's. Tell him to look at the serial again...it should be something like "JXXXXX" Where XXXXX would be the year of production and sequence number....if my memory serves me correctly....
