Jackson virgin no more!!!

[usrname]

Well, I finally got the Soloist PRO. Couple of dings here and there but it's in really good shape. Man, does this have a thin neck! I only played it for about five minutes but it seems comfortable to me so far. It's got some heft to it as well, feels solid.

I had it shipped to my work because I didn't want to miss it. However, I forgot I would be off for a few days, painting the house, and it was sitting there in the box 'til I got in today. Needless to say I've been really stressed the last couple days, and probably missed a few spots on the walls! Thanks again to all who helped me out with this one!

Anyway, I can't wait to play it tonight. I'm anxious to hear the pickups in this thing. I'll let you know how the sound test goes. In the meantime, here's some pics:

Nice axe! And another 1995 PRO series guitar . Is it just me or are the string locking bolts on floyd sticking over the floyd route? That's not a good thing if you use the whammy bar a lot...

Yeah, the original Schaller was upgraded with an OFR, but the route doesn't match. I'll have to wait 'til I get it set up to see how the much the bolts stick out after intonation. I really don't use it that much, so not being able to pull up isn't a problem.

I've always wondered if schaller type locking screws would fit ofr saddles. If so, you can easily install them and be done with that problem!

I don't know how many guitars I've worked on where people have set the string saddles all the same.Then they wonder why the higher up they fret the more out of tune they get.

I'd like to know this, too. I have the same problem on one of my guitars.

P.S. Nice axe, by the way!

I'd like to know this, too. I have the same problem on one of my guitars.

From the looks of it, the part that enters the saddle is the same on both screws but I should try it

[dinky kustom]

thats a hot axe you have there

Guys, the FAT Schaller bolt won't fit through the rectangular slot on the OFR. Haven't you read this? You disappoint me

[VEGETATHEPUPPET]

Great soloist !!

What's our punishment ?

[jackson1]

You should wear a fat Schaller bolt up your ass for a week. Should I ship some to Turkey?

[Special-K]

Great guitar...Congrats on that one

[usrname]

Thanks for the congrats guys. I can't wait to hear it tonight! Does anyone know much about the J-50M humbucker? This is what the catalogue says is in there, but I haven't seen as much info on it as the J-50B, BC, N, etc.
