So I think you’re saying your bridge pickup is a JT-6, correct?
My guitar looks exactly like this (except it’s blue).

Electronics were better too with the J-90C bridge pickup too.

They are different visually. The JT-570 is Schaller and single locking and recessed I believe. Might be stamped Charvel or Jackson. It’s even easier for a deluxe 275. Bigger Strat or smaller Dinky body? If Strat first year, if Dinky the next years. The Dinky bodies would have triple singles anyway, though they are often modded so that confuses people into thinking they are Fusion Specials or Deluxes.

Are the JT-6 and JT-570 visually different? My humbucker is a solid black rectangle with the Jackson logo in the corner. In other words, the individual “dots” are not visible on the pickup. Not sure if that’s enough info to say which of those two humbucker this one is?

in 1989 (model year, not calendar year) the 275 had a JT-6
otherwise, it would have a JT-570
As far as an exact year...
Most people care less about the year for these type of mass produced items. It is more about a figuring out which model it is - and then years can be narrowed down because they were only made for a few years and some of them had minor spec changes which would help narrow it down more.

After having done more research, it seems to be a Japanese 275 Deluxe. I wish there was a way to tell the exact year

pictures would help, but assuming the given information is correct...
Japan - Fort Worth is a mailing address.
1989 - Based on you saying "eighties" and the logo style. Not based on serial. If it is a bolt on, you can't track these by serial. Better chance that it is a 'nineties', but 1989 is possible.

Where was my vintage Charvel made?
Hi,
I have a vintage Charvel from the eighties with the Jackson-style “handwriting” Charvel logo, with a Jackson bridge humbucker and Jackson neck single coil, and a Floyd Rose tremolo. Rosewood fretboard with dot style fret markers. Its serial number is 330045. Any idea where it might have been made? Japan? US?
thanksTags: None
