Up for sale, a 1989 Charvel by Jackson DK-065-SSH in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Made at the Chu Shin factory in Japan exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, this Superstrat is built to shred, featuring an SSH pickup complement and a Floyd Rose-licensed tremolo.
Essentially a revision of the Model 3 Charvel platform, the DK-065-SSH features a yellow poplar body, quartersawn rock maple neck, and slab 22-fret rosewood fretboard. The bridge pickup is a Jackson J90C distortion class humbucker with an accentuated low frequency response, and the pair of single coils are Jackson J100s, delivering classic Strat articulation and snap in the neck and middle positions. The five-way blade pickup selector switch offers a variety of voicing options via the SSH configuration, yielding vintage-flavored single coil cut and thick, ripping drive. This DK-065-SSH weighs 7lbs 6oz, professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and spot-on intonation.
Neck Specs:
- Wood: Rock maple (quartersawn)
- Shape: Slender D, measuring .730” 1st fret, .860” 12th fret
- Fretboard: Rosewood slab, compound 12”-16” radius
- Frets: Jumbo, faint wear beneath the plain strings on 1-7
- Scale Length: 25 1/2”
- Nut: 1.650” (42mm), locking
- Tuners: Jackson-branded, Gotoh
Body Specs:
- Wood: Yellow poplar
- Pickups: J90C humbucker x1, J100 single coil x2
- Harness: Untouched solder, Japanese pots date to January, 1989

- Hardware: Floyd Rose-licensed FLC-101 tremolo, dome-top knurled knobs
Cosmetic wear on the gloss Black finish is limited to a handful of minor nicks along the lower bout perimeter, light scuffing on top along the pick path, and just a few faint marks on the body as a whole. The smooth satin finish on the neck profile is flawless.
A padded gigbag is included.
