Student models

[Snoogans]

Did Jackson ever make Student models other than Soloists and Rhoads?
I don't recall seeing anything else, except maybe a bass?
Having a discussion on another board (), and I thought I'd better check with the experts here before I made myself look stoopid!

Student model

Yes, all models were available as a student model. Main difference was rosewood board and dot inlays and no binding. Wood and hardware was still the same

[Snoogans]

I thought that the Student option dated back to a time when the Soloist and Rhoads were the only "production"* body shapes available...

* Yes, custom shop and all that, but you know what I mean!

Student Models "date back to" the first Rhoads Soloists King Vs & Kellys....the first Charvel/Jackson catalog inluded a Rhoads Custom & Student Model in the fold-out:

Whaddya know! - I never realised that the Kelly and King V were available as students. I certainly don't recall seeing any...
Cheers for that!

I have a student Rhoads. I hate it. I love the guitar actually. It plays well and sounds great. It's SN4XX and has the original 3 piece neck. It's a great guitar but god damn ugly. Seems like most everything was available in a "student" when Jackson first started producing guitars, but there weren't a lot of choices either at that time.
