Jackson USA Custom Super Strat Charvel San Dimas Style Fender Headstock 1991 Hot Rod Flames

Jackson USA Custom Super Strat in Carvel San Dimas style with a custom double-sided Flame graphic made in 1991.  A very limited number of USA Charvel guitars were made during this time when Charvel was being used as an import line for Jackson, and only a handful of people around the world got the pure USA models from the custom shop. This guitar features a Fender Strat headstock which was prior to Fender owning Jackson and Charvel. This is exceptionally rare, and collectors will note that it wasn't until 1995 that Jackson brought back the USA Charvel San Dimas and had to modify the headstock shape so as not to infringe on the Fender design. This is an example of one of the only pure USA Charvel San Dimas made by USA Jackson and only available to be exported internationally due to Fender’s headstock and logo copyrights within the U.S.

This guitar features an ash body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The guitar is equipped with a single Dimarzio Gravity Storm humbucker controlled by a single master volume knob. The guitar features the rare gold Floyd Rose that is branded with the Jackson, Floyd Rose, and Schaller names all on the same bridge and is stamped as being made in Germany. The graphic which is the Jackson “Hot Rod Flames” is double-sided which I have not been able to find another example of a Jackson with the same double-sided graphic. The graphic was done throughout the entire body of the guitar which you can see inside the pickup and control cavities. The Charvel neck features 22 jumbo frets with a slim D shape profile and has a Fender style headstock.

I have reached out to the previous owner as to the history of this guitar and have found that the guitar was originally purchased by a U.S soldier stationed in Germany. The guitar work order #7585 has been confirmed as a custom order originally entered into the Jackson database. This guitar is in fantastic condition with very little to no wear. It comes with the original Jackson hardshell case and original Jackson owner’s manual/warranty card.
