Floyd (nice trem), decent Jackson labeled tuners. From what I've read these came with Jackson active pups, a German Schaller lic. Frets are meaty and after a few swipes with some 0000 they're nice, smooth and shiny. It was missing the nut block and screws, I stopped by GC and grabbed some on the way home. I tore it down, cleaned it up and strung it with Slinky 9's.

The previous owner had the trem screwed down, I'm guessing it was an attempt to 'stabilize' the bridge and pull the strings down for lower action. To get it up and playing I had to set it up. This is one of the best if not the best Charvel/Jackson. I needed a bushing for another guitar I have anyway and the arm I bought has a bushing so it worked out. Incredible 1989 Made In Japan Charvel 475 Special loaded neck Bound Rosewood on beautifully figured Maple with 22 frets and real Mother Of Pearl sharkfin inlays Includes original Gotoh Jackson/Charvel tuners, R4 Schaller Nut, truss rod cover, & neck plate with screws. I needed to round up a trem arm, bought one on eBay since none of the local shops had any in stock. The guy I bought it from had it for 14 yrs. Condition is decent for a guitar around 20 years old, a few chips but no serious damage. I think it was a good deal at $250, not sure if there's much $$ left in it but I didn't buy it to flip. *Please note that I will be taking the neck off the guitar for shipping to prevent damages as much as possible so the guitar will need a full setup after delivery.Picked this up on craigslist today. The neck has an incredible profile with super low action and some of the best flame I've seen on a maple neck for a while. Tried my best to include pictures of the small dings it got throughout the years.

Frets have been leveled recently and a shim was added on the side of the pocket for optimal string alignment by the #1 luthier in my area.

Overall it's in pretty good condition for a guitar that's over 30 years old. Fits the oversized pickup ring's hole pattern with the ability to fit a regular sized pickup. Currently setup in Drop D with 9-46 strings.Ī custom pickup ring has been made for the bridge pickup. No mid boost preamp in the guitar anymore. New CTS pots, new 5 way switch and new jack. It now has a Jackson J80C in the bridge with two J200R's in the middle and neck. Pickups had been changed many times and the pot holes had been enlarged to fit imperial pots. Original JT590 tremolo with new saddle blocks. Really hard to capture on photos but it's absolutely beautiful. Up for grabs is a beautiful 475 Deluxe from ~1989 in a metallic black/blue/green finish. Something caught my eye and I need to have it.
