Jackson USA (1990)

Hello There,
: Ok, I've got this Jackson USA body and neck..had em forever. They are separated and all the parts have been stolen years ago. I know originally it had a custom paint job, a girl in a bikini laying on the beach..been sanded down since and has a green wood stained face. Anyways, since not having any neck plate with a serial number, all I have to go with are some markings underneath the neck. On the body where the neck goes its stamped USA-8, date written in 10/22/90, also written in pen is H6 ( I believe) and a straight faced smiley dude. At the base of the neck is stamped FUS. Also looks like a signature in black marker under the back tremelo spring plate. Pic links below.
: Anyways if there is anything anyone can tell me about this guitar, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, I'd like to know the best way to obtain the correct parts to piece it together.

ANSWER

Hi, Joe--

Hmmm-- Well the Blue Book does not list a USA built in 1990. There is a listing for this one:

1997 PETER MAX LIMITED EDITION JRS-1
- similar to the JRS-1, available in a hand painted finish by artist Peter Max, mfg. 1997 only.

I tried researching and came up with a "Soloist" series guitar that apparently had a beach scene, but got a 404 error--the page was no longer available.

I think that what I am going to have to do is throw this one out to my readers. A lot of them are knowledgeable about Jackson guitars and maybe someone will have some ideas.

In the meantime, here is the contact info for the Jackson Company:
