Jackson "Rhythm-Man" or something... [description included]

[Mario8672]

Did a guitar like this ever exist from Jackson? It only had a rhythm humbucker, 12 frets, and was a Dinky/Soloist shape... I know I've heard of it somewhere... Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Probably the article that gave rise to this mythic beast: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Rhythmist

Oh shit, I'd forgotten about that.

Scott Ian had a Soloist which only had frets to the 12th, blank ebony for the rest of the board with a "NOT" inlay.

Wow! Cool as f**k! :ROTF:

Yeah, he said Danny Spitz was doing all the solos and he was doing all the rhythm, and never had a use for the frets above the 12th, so he had his built fretted only to the 12th, and the big "NOT" inlay after that.

Ahhh, the good old days. When you could still order a Custom Shop Jackson any way you wanted it. Too bad those days ended a month ago

I dunno, Scott might be able to. Then again, he went to Washburn ages ago... *sigh*

Haha! Yea! That's the guitar I was talking about.

That isn't his "NOT Soloist" though...that is a Tele.

[MountainDog]

His NOT soloist and his NOT tele (my pic, what he used in the video for In My World) had the same # of frets from what I've seen.

Here's a picture of an older guitar magazine of the Soloist. You can see the NOT is the same size as the tele. Although in the pic the headstock isn't shown, you can look at it and see it's 14 frets.

[Sunbane]

Yeah, you're right! Just found another picture of the soloist as well, and I can see 14 frets on it.

Funny thing though, I seem to remember Scott himself claiming it had 12 frets in some old interview.

Can you post that pic? I couldn't find anything on a quick web search.

He probably was referring to how many frets he used

Man, that is sweet Damn, it is too bad the CS prices went up by 20% Jack.
