PB Player guitars

[eakinj]

I was looking at some pictures of Jan Kuehnemund (Becuase I'm still in love with her after all these years lol) and found several of her playing a PB Player Rhoads copy.

Looking at the pictures (which are scans from photos taken A LONG time ago) the guitar looks like it could be decent or a complete piece of shit. The inlays look like Moto and kind of rounded sharkys,

Anyway I was just curious, if anyone had experience with that model and how well it may have played? I wouldn't go looking for one, but it's still kind of interesting to see the different brands that tried to cash in on Jackson.

How were PB Players in general? I had a chance (this was 90 or 91) to buy one used and got something else. I've always been curious if I passed up on a deal or not.

^Right - they're JB Players. My first guitar, back in 87, was a JB Player strat. I have no idea where it fell in their model line-up, but it was probably at or near the bottom since it was a starter guitar. As for playability, I thought the 84 Gibson Explorer which replaced it was far superior, if that says anything.

Just remember "Jan's Boobs" and it's all good

And their top model had a built-in wireless unit and came with a receiver. Their average models were decent, I guess. About like anything else at the time.

They did some high end stuff but most you see are mid to low end.
