GC Buffalo has a guitar that they had tagged as a "USA Custom Shop Shannon Soloist". It looked just like a Japanese SL-3 to me, so I started a post to get more info on the "Shannon". Number of the Priest and several others responded with some excellent information that enabled me to determine that it was definitely not a Shannon. I called GC to let them know what I had found out and when I went back there a few days later they have retagged the "Shannon" as a "MIJCS SL-3" (Made in Japan Custom Shop SL-3). They tell me that the guy who traded it in changed his story.
Does Jackson have a Custom Shop in Japan? The serial number on the guitar is 032473. I would love to know what this really is. I could not find the serial number on the Jackson web site. It is a beautiful guitar and it plays and sounds really nice. They want $1,400 for it.
As a side note, the guy who GC said traded it in told me he is a member here. I would love to hear his side of the story. He is a huge Jackson collector who recently scored a late eighties/early nineties Custom shop Soloist with a Seattle Skyline graphic at GC. I have talked to him a couple of times a GC in the past and he seems like a decent guy.
