Over the past year, I bought these two Jacksons:
1) 7 string reverse headstock, 22 fret neck, Serial # 9643369
2) 5 string bass, 24 fret neck, Serial # J012474
Now on to the questions:
What are the model designations, year made, and country of origin for these guitars ?
Where can you purchase replacement/repair parts for them? (Jackson's web site is of no help regarding this...) On the bass I'm looking to replace
the center potentiometer (its a pickup balance control that takes the place of a selector switch) that has a special detent in the center position
to let you know when its centered. Its nearly worn out, and I'd like to replace it with an original part.
Also on the bass, which aftermarket pickups are a direct replacement for
the "Duncan Designed" pickups that come from the factory. They're not horrible, but I'd like to upgrade to some that are a little hotter...
On the 7 string, I've since replaced the "Duncan Designed" bridge pickup with a JB. I'm planning on putting a Jazz or a '59 in the neck position.
Just recently, the nut worked itself loose. It seems that it may have been caused by extra tension from the low B string. I'm thinking about pinning the nut to the head stock. Are there any recommended procedures for repairing this ? Any other suggestions or things I should look for with this guitar ?
Thanks in advance.
