Jackson Fusion

[disident]

help me identifying this guitar.The seller says its Jackson Fusion Custom; S/N: 000636 built 1990 (Ontario/Ca.) Neck (oiled) and headstock - binding, real Mother of Pearl sharkfins and logo

I'm interested if everything is original on this guitar except Schaller LoPro II Floyd,and Bridge and neck pickups?
Thanks

I doubt the body came like that, looks like it was stripped. Those bottom 2 switches look added too(not an expert on fushions).

I have never ever seen a bengal Fusion. Mostly beach screnes, sunsets, art-deco, etc, but never a bengal.

Fusion is short-scale (24.75")... a "fusion" between a Strat-type body with a Les Paul scale.

Soloist and Dinkies have 25.5" standard Strat scales, but the Soloist is neck-thru and the Dinky is bolt-on.

you can't tell the difference between your Fusion and your Soloist? How about your Rhoads?

thanks joe.
and i cant really tell the diff except the fact that my soloist has thicker neck, neckthrough, and painted neck...i never really notice the fret size and stuff..
and for rhoads, man my rhoads is a beast...never notices the fret differences either...

When I played a Fusion neck the first time (Prof. Fusion SX), I noticed a huge difference !
I don't have "long" fingers, so it's very comfortable up to fret 14-15 I'd say. Then it gets kind of narrow, if you don't have "skinny" fingers.

Probably I'll wait for the 25 1/8 scale ?

You are right DonP ! After a close look into the cavity, I noticed that it was a Fire-Crackle !
"Bengal" was what I had been told by the seller 8 months ago !
What an idiot to strip it ! (in Fire-Crackle, I would not sell that guitar)
