Hey guys i got an interesting one for ya.
A customer came in to work today to sell a '88 soloist dbl hum. I think its an 88. Its a custom shop ordered to his specs around that time frame. Anyway the guitar is black dual hum with the jt590 trem back routed but not completely and its a top mounted trem. single volume no tone with a 3 position blade switch below the neck pup. (kind of an odd place for a switch as its right in the way of the strummin hand). The cool thing is the Inlays. normal sharkies up to the 12th fret then reversed sharkies after the 15th fret and up. with a reverse headstock too. Its kind of cool lookin. The seriel number is J5567. The neck is pretty thin kinda like a Kelly or King V. It has the old shannon soloist style neck heal but its still comfortable and doesnt seem too big. Anyway since i hadnt had to much experience with custom shop stuff I thouhgt yous guys would know sometin i didnt as far as value. The boss at work and my regional dept mgr both said no more than 400 bucks street value. But then they dont know shit from shineola when it comes to Jackons especailly custom shop ones.
Any help would be great and if anybodies interested let me know. He wants to sell it.
Thanks
