A guitar popped up locally on marketplace and I’m wondering if anyone can she’s some light on what I’m looking at.
Kid inherited it and said it was refinished.

He has it listed with a Charvel hardcase. Idk Charvels, Jacksons, and other brands that make guitars similar to this so was wondering if anyone could enlighten me.

Any idea what those pickups are?
The FR is Schaller.
Tuning machines appear to be Schaller as well but have no idea if anything was stock or aftermarket.

Thanks.

I don't think the body/neck are anything from Charvel/Jackson. Wrong routes, fretboard heel is rounded, etc. As you mentioned, the trem and tuners are Shcaller, which are good. Some kind of home build if I had to guess. Not sure on the pickups, looks like some kind of mini-bucker, but those pickup rings are :sick:

Parts guitar, proceed with caution. :cool:
 
Almost looks like they were trying to recreate the "stone" finish that J/C was doing back in the day. LOL
 
It's a Jacksoff. AKA a Frankenjackson. My buddy has one like that, with a Jackson neck on a Sammick body or something like that. Who knows what body that is, but it's a replacement Jackson neck of some sort.

Seriously, buy it and put a "Jacksoff" logo on the headstock.
 
It certainly looks cool. The neck is throwing Jackson X Series vibes. May I ask what he is asking for it? Just curious. It looks killer tho
