This guitar was purchased for me by a good friend from US. Serial J5237 (close to my zebra KV) and WO 5110.
While 24 fret 80s RRs are considered rare and desirable many forget that outside Mustaine's MD logo KV we have not really seen other 24 fret KVs from that era. Before this one popped up the Warbird KV was the earliest know non-Mustaine 24 fretter - being from 1990. Of course later on 24 frets became the standard but for many like me the later ones without 80s heavy poplar just won't do for thrash.
This guitar seems all original with untouched electronics (J80 and J50N), JT590 tremolo and other usual HW for the period. Note also the 89 smaller logo.
What is also common to that era is the strong yellowing of the laquer making this one seem ivory in appearance while it's white pearl originally.
Condition is among the most used I've seen lately. Lots of battlescars and also a somewhat worrying crack around the first tuner. Easy fix though with some glue.
Neck profile is the wide flat feeling type that many of us love in these 89 Jacksons. Jumbo frets with light curves.
Some pics...
And a video of how it does thrash metal. Direct to PC with Sansamp GT-2.
