What is the consensus on this guitar. Is it worth $1050?

i think that one is going to require a specific buyer because of the graphic...i never cared for it myself...is it a nice guitar?...absolutely...but for that price i'd want something more in line with my taste in looks...d.m.

I owned it for about a year. It's NOT a 1987, it's an '89. Bought it from Ted in Atlanta for $500. Sold it to metalheadva on eBay for $750. Chris recently bought it from metalheadva and wants over a grand. Not good in the tone department, which is why I sold it. In the looks department it was virtually mint when I had it. Playability is fine too, no problems, just a damn tone dog. My name and address are likely still taped to the inside of the control cavity cover and trem cavity cover.

I was following this one on Ebay (it was on for quite a while). it was well under a grand last time I checked.

Take his advice on it being a tone dog... I owned a Charvel 750 that he previously did, and could never get it to sound good and I tried every pup. Once I posted the serial, he posted up that it was his and he sold it cause it sounded horrible. So yeah, probably a good idea to stear clear of this one.

Come on, Algeriet. Just beware of my Dobermans and 12 gauge! Yeah, no lie fellows, it was a cool guitar, but I just couldn't get it to sound right. Stayed in tune, played great, quality all around, but no tone, it was a dull sounding guitar.

Like any Jackson strat, I would think that south of $800 is the proper price.

Like any Jackson strat, I would think that south of $800 is the proper price.

yeah I think $400 sounds about right.

I took it off hold, Thanks again for the info

Yup I recall that one being on the bay for $900 or so forevah. These are usually great guitars, and I own four of them. I'm glad I passed on this one!

It was on Ebay about the first of March. I watched it. The seller just kept relisting. He would not take an offer. He said it was already priced to low. It sold on April 4th for $799.

I'm happy with the 87/88's that I have. KABLAAAAMMM!!! JACKSON STRAT PR0NZZZ!
