Finding a Build Sheet

[Drazden]

Alrighty. I've got a 1989 Soloist, and I'd like to see if Jackson could find and email me the build sheet for it.

But I can't seem to find a 'contact us' kind of email on their website at all.

Does anyone know anything at all about where I can find the order sheet or build sheet for my Soloist?

Thanks

I don't think Jackson does this anymore.

Why not? It'd sure be nice to know what kind of pickups my guitar came with stock--who it was delivered to, etc., etc.

Not really sure. Too busy building new guitars I guess. Honestly, it's probably for the best.

Re: Finding a Build Sheet

Ah well... It's not like I needed the thing. But... can somebody tell me what kind of pickup came in the bridge stock? Someone replaced whatever humbucker was in there with a gibson pickup that is just all mids. Very low-rent Van Halen. But I need to know what was in there originally. The neck pickup is a Jackson single-coil.

Thanks.

There's a good chance it was a Duncan JB in the bridge. That's been the pickup of choice for a long time.

Trust me, you really don't want the stock Jackson bridge humbucker. My '87 Soloist had the same pickups, and it is tonally about the same. Maybe more highs, but still no low end. Put your choice of pickups instead and bring the guitar alive.

From personal experience, I can say that Duncan Distortion, Custom, or JB would sound really good. From the Dimarzio side, I have a Tone Zone in the bridge of an '86 RR that absolutely kills.

Most late 80's Jacksons I have seen came stock with Jackson pickups,usually covered!!

Probably either a J-80, J-90 or J-90C [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

While others don´t like them, I personally do like the jackson Pickups quite a bit... they don´t tend to fetch top dollar, so you may definitely want to try it if nothing else [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If it also had the active preamp in it, it was most likely a J50B or BC humbucker.

You got an '86 now too?

Re: Finding a Build Sheet

thanks guys--it's more just idle curiosity though. i think i'll play it a little more with my band before I decide to switch it. By itself, it sounds wayy too middy. In a band, though, it just cuts really well through the mix.
