Anyone able to ID this? I've been looking through 80s/90s catalogs trying to pin down exactly what it is, but can't find a definitive match for it. My best guess is a Fusion of some kind?

that's a MIJ Charvel Fusion. short scale 24 fret guitar. the frets on the side of the board also indicate it's one of the lower values ones as well. I had a fusion for a while back in the late 2000's ,
pretty cool guitars

Regarding locking tuners on Floyd rose guitars: why not pull the string through with the ball end at the tuner? I saw Steve Vai’s guitar tech do that and I thought it was genius!
I've been doing this for 20+ years. You're good, works perfectly. I also don't think locking tuners on locking trems are useful, at least when existing locking nuts in the guitar... waste of money IMO...

Nothing beats finding an old Performer series for peanuts... it has some goofy ass string through saddles and a killswitch which I'll sort out soon enough.
Plus another pic of the warrior because it's the greatest shape ever conceived

As cool as that would be for a production model I feel like the audience for it would be pretty niche. It's a neat shape but that's a hard sell even among metalheads I think.

As I wrote in the Jackson 2022 thread I really want a Death Angel, but I'm not a fan of satin finishes. But this will probably be my only chance of getting a Death Angel so maybe I will get one anyway.

Treat yourself to a lovely Jackson with revolting inlays.

I wouldn't normally like those inlays, but they are perfect for that guitar....

I have to agree with the sentiment of the others. I don't usually like the hollow shark fin but those are pretty sick on that guitar.
