Help me id this guitar

[jim belisario]

I'm looking at buying this guitar. It's a custom shop bolt on from what I gather, # 1614
See pic. There'a debate on the year here. I think it'a a 89, but the store feels it a 90's. The neck profile is slim and more not as wide as the soloist neck. It's cool to me. Any ideas of year? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] Tie dye Jackson

Sounds like the neck on my 91' Fusion I just sold.

I am not as hip to the bolt on's. I did have a bolt on '89 that had the same physical features as this guitar (the contoured lower cutaway, controls, etc), but I believe those were used in the 90's as well. Does it have the 'work order' stamp in the tremolo cavity? I think that ended around 1990-1991.

My feelings are that the serial number is actually 001614. If so, it's a 1992 Fusion, as pointed out above. At $1275 that is about what the new Dinky's are selling for, so it's a steep price. (I'm selling a pair of USA Fusions for considerably less by the way!) If indeed the serial number is 1614 then the guitar could be from 1987, 88, or 89. But I doubt that's what it is. Cool guitar, maybe worth a tad under a G.

Thanks guys. The store had it at the San Francisco Guitar Show and I almost traded him for it. As always, they didn't want to do a fair trade and I walked around the show and decided not to do it. Thanks to all here. GAS gets the best of us all, but walking away helps.
