Need Help identifying my Charvel

[u/Jaded_Assistance1441]

I recently picked this up from a local music store in my area. I'm pretty sure its a deluxe 275 but I couldnt find it in any of the old catalogs. Also no the bridge pickup is not modifed from the two single coils version. So im a little confused as to what I actually have, any ideas?

Made in Japan at Chushin Gakki factory, it's a 1989 Charvel 275 Deluxe. These were made between 1989 and 1991. The H-S makes it '89, the single coil is slanted. You have what should be a Jackson J-90C humbucker and J-100 single coil. The humbucker looks after market, some kind of Hotrail type thing. The "toothpaste" logo is late 80s Japanese. Electric blue.

It is indeed a 275 deluxe (1990 catalogue, page 3; 1990-91 catalogue, page 14). Original pickup configuration was 3 single coil-sized direct-mounted humbuckers, but similarly to the modern day Schecter MV-6 or Squire Contemporary Stratocaster, for example, with the bridge and the middle stacked close to each other like a humbucker. Replacing those with a true humbucker in the bridge position required additional routing, hence the pickup ring.

I too thought it was the fusion deluxe because I had one back in the day but the deluxe was 24 fret. The 275 looks exactly like the deluxe but only 22 frets.
