I'ts cool that there is a place to go to talk about the greatest guitars on earth! I have a Grover Jackson I will post pictures of this evening (I Hope) and I need some help Identifying when it was made and maybe some history. thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to the pics.

Welcome! (forgot to say that in the other thread, sorry)

I'm guessing that correctly identifying it will be very hard, since the Grover Jacksons were made for the japanese market (which we as westeners are not quite in touch with). To add to the difficulty, that line of guitars is now also discontinued, and there's barely any info to be found on them. I've never seen any catalogues or the like for either Grover Jackson or Jackson Stars anywhere, so you'd probably have to hunt down a japanese Jackson expert to get any good answers.

If I remember correctly though, I've read someplace the Grover Jacksons were considered a "lower line" (cheaper guitars) than Jackson Stars, but I'm not at all sure of how accurate that info may be.

But good luck to you, and again, welcome! =)

rfazano-

Couldn't find any Kelly's with TOM bridges in the old Grover Jackson catalogs.

Here's a scan of the 2000 Grover Jackson catalog page with the Marty Friedman signature model on it.

Having done a little more searching, I think that your guitar may be a 1994 model, judging by the gold truss rod cover and the finish that shows off the neck going through the body, as pictured in the RR below.
