1988 Charvel Jackson Japan Model 1A SSS Superstrat (Gloss Red)

1988 Charvel Jackson Japan Model 1A SSS Superstrat (Gloss Red)Japanese made in 1988, the Model 1A is a favourite among Charvel collectors! Basswood body with a maple neck and 22 fret fingerboard (12" 16" compound radius), it's loaded with three Jackson J 100 single coils controlled by master volume and independent tone knob, a five way selector and weighs just under 4kg's. Looks to be all original as pictured. Restrung and given a professional service prior to listing, plays great and sounds very nice. The neck

frets have light pitting but plenty of life

Matte Black model features brushed aluminum finish pickguard

* Nut Width: 1

The DR-100 has the look

Back/sides - Solid Rosewood

Overall it's in clean vintage condition with some typical playwear for a mid-80's shredder

would likely need a crown or refret to play in a professional setting

Made by their Hamamatsu factory

Maxon U series humbuckers sound great as you'd expect

Rosewood fingerboard with a very slight v profile on the nato neck

The G1 and G2 toggles let you select various forms of distortion via select resistance values that switch in and out in the clipping section of the circuit

The neck joins at the 17th fret which differs from the later 2005 - 2019 run which has a neck joint at the 16th fret
