Does anyone have any info on Jackson soloist pro's made in japan? I would appreciate any info.

Re: Jackson soloist Pro

Well just imagine a SL1, with a Schaller Floyd and Jackson pickups(with midboost). And the wings are poplar instead of alder. I probably missed something essential. Oh well...

Re: Jackson soloist Pro

Actually it had the Gain Boost, not the Mid Sweep (Boost), but other than that, the 1990-94 Soloist Pros were equal to the 1990-94 USA Soloists.
And the tremolos (mostly) were made by Takeuchi, which is basically the Japanese pronunciation of "Schaller" cuz they're identical [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Necks are thin compared to new jackson selects. Tremolo in my sl pro says "made in germany by schaller" Great guitars.

That's odd. You didn't do it right. I just pulled up TOO many threads (the search function on this board doesn't seem to work as well as on the old board). Anyway, I found 3 good threads:

[wulfe13]

Re: Jackson soloist Pro

Why do people keep talking about the Old board? Is there a way to see the old board? I automatically get sent here... how can I view the old board?

Re: Jackson soloist Pro

Re: Jackson soloist Pro

Well the current Jackson Soloist Pro (Japan)I played today is a great guitar by any measure. It had Seymour Duncan pups of some type and a Jackson-Floyd trem with the shark fins but no neck binding and was selling for a little over $1000, retail probably $1500+. Lightning fast and classic cutting Jackson tone. I normally don't like rail pups since they hurt clean tones, but the neck rail in the one I played had a terrific lead sound, so I guess it would be worth it if you have more than one guitar.

Definitely a worthy guitar. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Jackson soloist Pro

SL3? Maybe? $1000 screw that! That's way more than I'd pay for one.... You can get a USA slightly used for less than that...
