....the only import jackson i have, SN 9707653. i don't think i ever posted any pictures of it. i bought it about 4 years ago on e-bay for $125.00. if i remember right, this is a PS-7. it is an amazing player and quite a looker, too.
i customized it a bit to make it look less generic. first thing i did was remove the white fret markers and replaced them with black fret markers. it was quite easy. the 12th fret dots are really far apart and it annoys me, so with the black i can barely see them!!!
next i had a custom pickguard made. these come with a horrible, thin flat black guard in HSS. i had one made out of 1-ply parchment, in an HS configuration.
then i installed EMG pick-ups, an 85 in the bridge and an SA in the neck.
i replaced the factory wilkinson with a better one. i put black knurled knobs and wired the EMG's to a 3 way blade. it sounds and plays great. i have the bridge flat to the body with 5 springs (no trem use on this one). this guitar is often tuned to open G with the low E dropped to C. sometimes it's tuned standard, or dropped D...just depends.
anyway, here are the pics!!! sorry they are grainy - just got a new camera and i am playing with the settings...
