CC's Nagel Soloist

[Frigo89]

I think that's the name of the Artist that does those graphics...

I think it's a bolt on, not a soloist, but yeah, Nagel.

Here's a pick of the "Jackson" I own and it has my favorite Nagel on it.
It has the correct pickup cover with graphic on it now. I think Sully put it all right.
I lifted the image off Sully's site, as he owned it before me and still has pics hosted:

Nah, it's a Soloist, but it looks like he might have had the neck stripped - it used to have some writing up the back (One up the B-side?), but at some points in that clip it looks to be oiled. Could just be the lighting though. Whatever, he had some very cool guitars.....

I couldn't see the lack of neckplate or not, but I did see that the Jackson logo was missing. I had just assumed the natural finished neck meant bolt on. Thanks for the clarification.
GMW (Dan Lawrence) did this one similar to CCs (smaller head, and the geometric shape is white instead of black, but similar (from the GMW site):

I don't think the logo is missing - it's a darkish red colour so most likely it just didn't show up in that clip...

That Jackson is cool...I've never seen him play that one. There were some shots in there of his Nagel BC Rich Gunslinger...which is the one I think he played more often. I always liked the color scheme on it.

I've got a pic in an old Circus Magazine somewhere with C.C. playing that Soloist, and it indeed has a red headstock logo, but the back of the neck is painted black. Looks like it's got one humbucker that's pink, and there appears to be no "Made In USA" on the headstock.

Here, just scanned it from a 1992 Circus mag.


Brett's also playing a one-hum bolt-on Jackson with Bengal graphic (you can see the headstock, I just couldn't fit the rest of it in the scan).

yeah, she's been passed around, eh? i loved the graphic more than the guitar, sadly. i think that the short scale threw it off for me or something; it played really well, i loved the ebony board and hugeass frets, but there was something about that just kept it from being a main player. i did swap that jackson pickup out for the custom, and felt bad about pulling the cover off, but it sounds like it's back to how it was.

i talked to dan lawrence about that guitar years ago, he still remembers shooting it, and was the only one that he did in that pose. a few years ago, i found the original nagel pic that inspired the paintjob, and it's still cool to me. i've got a chandler project that i plan on nageling myself. here's a link to the mockup:
