I've never seen any jackson with a little spider on the headstock, so It's safe to say that it isn't original. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Also look at the awful placement of the AB knob.

Sure that's a spider up there? The top end of the stuck looks like a dog chewed on it, from here...

Sure it looks spider, but I think somebody has been bored and had a pen and that guitar and then.. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

i think the spider was done post factory and it is very nice, but the color?

Re: Is this original?(Soloist pro xl)

Hard to tell on the color. Camera flash pictures always mess with how the colors come out. It could be anything from white, yellowish or even a light pink...

Re: Is this original?(Soloist pro xl)

it is metallic white, not yellow or pink, my only reserve is the absence of the mop logo, it is just painted, do you know if these model were avaiable on white finish without mop logo?

Re: Is this original?(Soloist pro xl)

There are 2 reasons I don't think it's legit.

1- the upper horn seems really small to me
2- the sharkfins on the upper frets seem to be away from the edge of the fretboard, like they are on the dr-7's

It's real somebody just wrote some crap on the headstock. The white XL Soloists had matching white headstocks with black painted logos

Re: Is this original?(Soloist pro xl)

Is it just me, or is that a JT580LP trem? It doesn't look like it matches the route. What trem came on these originally? JT-590?

Re: Is this original?(Soloist pro xl)

Many Soloists have the silkscreened logo versus the MOP logo, so that's not a big deal. I don't see anything on this one to suggest it is anything other than legit.

It sort of looks like a JT-580LP but seems a little weird. [img]/images/graemlins/what.gif[/img]

No, it's not a JT580. It's some sort of evil thing that has Strat-style saddles [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/sick.gif[/img]

No, 580s

Re: Is this original?(Soloist pro xl)

The Soloist XL originally came with the JT-590 (Schaller) trem, I believe. The Soloist Std. was the import version that came with the 580, unless they switched trems on the XL later on in its run ('92-95).
