Happy 20th Birthday to...

[shreddermon]

...my first J/C. Custom-ordered SD Soloist Student, ebony board, OFR, etc. Not sure of the exact day, but she was completed sometime during April '86. She's been with me from day one.

Happy B-day to her...she's a beauty man! Not only that, but she was born in San Dimas

True loyalty! Very nice guitar. Is that the original lock nut?

[Seventh Avenged]

a true beauty for sure!

[shreddermon]

Is that the original lock nut?

No - it's one of the Bill Edwards Finger-tite lock nuts that was a direct replacement for Floyd nuts back then. I love it - works just as well, and no wrenches to use. Wish they still made them. ...And, yes, I still have the original locknut.

[St.James]

They do still make them. I bought one not long ago when I was trying to restore and old axe of mine that had one on there. They are cool, but a little bulky.

I think Kahler has them now. Not 100% on that though.

[shreddermon]

Nah, the Kahlers suck compared to the Edwards version. And it's not behind the nut.

No - it's one of the Bill Edwards Finger-tite lock nuts

Any chance of a sharp close up of that lock nut?

Please

Are you the winner of oldest original Jackson here?

[jackson1]

Ron, he just said the lock nut was non-original

[shreddermon]

Any chance of a sharp close up of that lock nut?

Hey yea, that's the "Fretboard Logic" guy with the nut. Nice guitar. It must be nice to have it for 20 years! I guess it's a keeper!

[neilli]

Very nice, and looks like it's still in great condition as well!
