I moved into a new house and found this guitar in my garage along with tons of old sports cards. I have a tag that came in the hard case with the following information.

Jackson Guitars - made in the U.S.A.
WO - 7685
Model - Death Angel C
S/N - J-5888
PKPS - EMG 81 & 85
Color - Snakeskin Blue & Blue HTLC
Neck Dress - Tony Petrilla (a little obscured)
Assembly - Hermila Gutierrez
Wiring - Hermila Gutierrez
Set-Up - MG
Final Inspection - Jul 9, 1991

Please help identify this guitar and how much it might be worth, thank you.
For some reason I can not put a pic up, but i can email one if someone needs it to help

It's a Death Angel Custom.. Not a common model, and a bit of a niche market.. Those that love them truly love them, others have their opinions.. As far as value, that is difficult to call in this economy, but whomever was dumb enough to leave a custom shop Jackson around like that must seriously be kicking themselves really hard...

Wow man, a find like that is the stuff of dreams. Did the previous owner of the house die or something? Because I can't concieve of any other disaster that would cause me to leave even my RR3 behind when I moved, let alone a USA custom of some kind.

If you would please put the pics on a photobucket (or similar hosting service) account, make the album public, and post the link..

What does the Hermila Gutierrez mean? I have it stamped on the back of a Custom Shop I just got in the mail today. I'm glad they were kind enough to put a date on the heel, at least :D

dR is correct.. Hermila was a Jackson employee while they were in the Ontario, California plant.. I'm not sure if she made the shift to the Corona plant, though..
