      If that guitar is still all-original, it should contain the out-of-production Jackson JE-0005 special 5-way switch which yielded some cool pickup combinations.

      The Admin "Tekky" at the JCF Online forum has a post saying that the default wiring scheme on the Predator using that switch gave both Neck + Bridge split and in parallel PLUS Neck + Bridge full in parallel PLUS Neck + Bridge in series (<-i think he meant to add "split" here too), here: https://www.jcfonline.com/forum/equi...predator-specs

      Here is a writeup about what makes the JE-0005 special and customizable: http://charvelusa.com/charvel_shreds/j0005_switch.html

          My friend has one, so i have had the chance to play one of these guitars. The neck on those are super thin... uncomfortably so for me... YMMV

              I’d hit it if the price is right. I’m partial to harder rocking guitars myself though. You still got that les Paul?

                  If I recall correctly "Fusion" was used to indicate the use of Gibson scale instead of 25.5". I had a white one for a short period of time in about 92.

                    Lake Placid Blues is correct, the Predator (I had a blue one back when they were new) and the Fusion are not the same, the Predator has a 25.5" scale and the Fusions had the shorter 24.75" scale. The Fusion has a smaller body too, kinda smaller all around. I don't remember my Predator having a super thin "Ibanez Wizard" thin neck, more like the Charvel/ESP "D" shape neck, but it was a long time ago.

                      I won't comment on the mis-information about Fusions earlier in this thread. The later post have cleared it up. Fusions are Gibson scale and 24 frets. Necks are thin.

                      Toothepaste logo Charvels have the best hardware - JT590 Schaller bridge. Earlier models had the JT6.

                            Sorry for bringing back an old thread, but could someone help me out with any info about my old Charvel? Pretty sure it's Japanese from the early 90's because of the toothpaste logo but I have no idea what model it is. Thanks for any help!

                              Looks like this one. I went through the link above and
                              this looks like a match.

                                It does, thanks! Do you know if any of the old Charvels came stock with the Invader pick up on mine or if it's more likely that whoever owned it before me made that switch?
