I'm thinking about buying a PS3T in mint condition (it will be my first Jackson), and I was wondering about the quality as compared to the newer import Rhoads. If I remember, the PS3 and the PS3T are both very good import guitars. Any help would be appreciated. Oh yeah, it comes with a hardshell case. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Question about PS3 Rhoads
There were also some made in Korea. The main way you can tell is the seriel number and the 12th fret dots. The Japanese ones seriel start with a 9 and the koreans start with 10. The 12th fret dots on the japanese are closer together and the korean ones are far apart almost to the edge of the neck.
The Japanese ones are nice and hold up a bit better plus some of the early ones had the JT580? (schaller) trem.
Why do i keep gettin confused at to which the schaller model number is?
Maybe its my age.

Re: Question about PS3 Rhoads
I've owned a ps3 in the past. Played it for about five years and it holds up really well! I had it fitted with an EMG 81 in the bridge, drove my guitarteacher nuts because I blew away his jem bfp [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]Comment

Re: Question about PS3 Rhoads
The Schaller is a JT590. I don't think those were ever on the Performers though. Stay as far away from the Korean models as possible. As it was explained to me, they have a tendency to snap at the neck join due to the weak-ass construction. The Japanese ones are just fine, but I'd put them below the current imports as far as quality.Comment

Re: Question about PS3 Rhoads
I too am thinking about buying one, hopefully soon. They were made in Japan, and there quality (from what i heard) is great for an import.Comment
