JP, there is NOTHING that says your guitar is made of Ash bro Based on the period and what make it is, there are 90% chances that it's made of Basswood.

Pierre.. the luthier that Took care of the guitar, while it was with the previous owner.. said that
AND, the guitar is pretty harsh. a basswood body guitar with a JB in bridge would sound THAT harsh? it was extremely harsh. Uncontrolable.

and it has very good veils in the wood, that why i think it is really ash
i need to send you a better pic. do you agree?

If it's basswood, and not ash; that changes everything! However, it shouldn't be overly bright with high quality basswood.

Basswood is not noted for tight bottom end though.

I believe that a air Norton would actually be too fat in the neck position of a basswood guitar without a maple cap.

If it is basswood, then take note, that the Breed neck and bridge models were designed specifically for Vai's basswood Jems, while the Evo's are used on the alder body Jem screemers. Earlier on it was PAF Pros in most positions on most guitars.

A close cousin of the Tone Zone was used on the EBMM EVH basswood guitars, in conjunction with the Norton derivative neck, but these guitars had thick maple caps along with maple necks too. Those type of pickups may deliver a more later EVH type tone in a basswood guitar.

Satch uses PAF Pro derivatives in his guitars, many of which are basswood.

WELL, if it´s basswood, i know what to go for pickups, but not with ASH
ahahahahahaha thank´s man

Eh if a Luthier said it then. It sucks that this is a totally unknown model though, we'd be able to tell for sure otherwise. But absolutely no Charvel imports were made of Ash, so it seems surprising they'd use it for a Japan only model. Especially as Jackson/Charvel just plain never used Ash stock as far as I remember.

FWIW I'm loving the Tone Zone. Did you already pick a bridge pickup? The TZ is a pretty well balanced PU, does the rock thing as anyone would expect but it is turning out to be remarkably good for jazz & blues. It has a better balance tonewise than the CC in the strat, none of the hair of a 59 just ig clean tone. Pretty good harmonics too though the CC has it beat there....
