Strat-style with hockey stick headstock

I believe it was about 1986 -1989 but I'm not positive as this info comes from a post on another forum. The op claimed that he got that info from Gibson. I was looking into it because someone on Craigslist up here has one listed for $100 with a hard case.

The "Jackson" pointy style headstock was 1986-88. In 1989 it was changed to the "hockey stick" shape and ran that way until 1996 when it was redesigned to the "batwing" shape. Somewhere between 1989 and 1996 there was a slight redesign on the hockey stick shape making it a bit narrower, but basically the same design...to avoid another lawsuit, I believe.

 

If you have a serial number, we can determine the year of your guitar, if thats what you are interested in knowing.
