EXCELLENT. The guitar has obviously been not very much played and remains in an excellent condition for its age. Optically, the instrument still looks very clean, apart from some playwear on the body (see pictures). These wear signs are only cosmetic in their nature and do not affect the instrument's performance. The electronics and the hardware are flawless. The frets still are almost like new. The truss rod cover plate is missing. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally cleaned and set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
- A high quality custom made instrument, built at the famous Jackson USA Custom Shop. A true collector's item, with absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound! A one-of-a-kind Custom Shop guitar and a rare collector's item, built around 1987-1989 and remaining in excellent condition for its age.
- Finish: Gold, with black hardware.
- Body: Alder (according to the information available to us).
- Neck: Quartersawn maple - for best stability. Back of the neck hand-oiled and waxed for maximum playing comfort. Bolt-on neck construction - this enables a fast, precise attack response, while retaining a full, "fat" tone. The neck feels and plays fantastic!
- Scale: 25.5"- Standard.
- Fingerboard: Maple, with black dot inlays.
- Frets: 22 - a perfect fretjob, another famous feature on Jackson USA guitars.
- Headstock: Jackson Pointy, black.
- Tuners: Original Jackson.
- Bridge: Vintage tremolo, fixed.
- Pickups: 1x EMG 81 humbucker - the classic pickup, famous for its powerful, cutting tone, intensity and sustain.
- Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap). Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
- Electronics: 1x volume, 1x tone.
- This is a very versatile instrument with a great tone and perfect ergonomics. The tone woods used are simply unbelievable. Decent, but important details like the brushed, blackened aluminium covers on the back, Switchcraft output, real CTS pots etc. prove for the highest quality level and technical perfectness of this very instrument.
- The guitar comes with an original Jackson USA hardcase (in used condition), a full set of Schaller strap locks and truss rod wrench.
