Ridiculously wide range of models at that point, right?

Re: Toothpaste Logo Charvel?
The toothpaste logo Charvels were made in Japan, just like the earlier Model 1-6. The Charvettes were made in Korea; the necks are decent but bodies are plywood with lackluster hardware and electronics.
Boatload of different toothpaste logo models. They're generally decent but we'd need to know more to say if it's a good deal or not.

The Korean-made bodies are plywood, but the Model 1-4 bodies are basswood. I'm currently in the process of refinishing a Model 2, and it's definitely not ply.

Really going to need a picture or description to determine the model. Toothpaste logo came in '91. I have a 375 Deluxe wich rips. Give some more detail and we can give some better information!

No, not by ESP. Japanese Kramers were made by ESP for a bit. These were made in the Chushin Gakki Factory up until '94 I believe, but I will have to double check that. Is this a pointy headstock?

Toothpaste logo is from about 1989-1992. They are great guitars, I’ve owned many. Most of the bolt on neck toothpaste logo charvels value $250 up to $500, maybe a little more depending on condition. The neck thru models will run a bit more, $500-$800, over a thousand if it’s a 750xl.

Here’s a great link with pics and specs, to help narrow it down as to which model you’re looking at.

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/equipment/import-charvel-guitars/5925-predator-specs
Here is a writeup about what makes the JE-0005 special and customizable: http://charvelusa.com/charvel_shreds/j0005_switch.html
Predator: Fusion w/ 22 Frets and reverse hedstock

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
