  • Ground Control to Major...JACKSON!

    After all these years I am still loving the airbrushed graphics Jackson has done. Especially when they factory painted the pickups. Here is the "Astronaut" Jackson Soloist, my first Soloist with a maple fingerboard too. The main graphic is an astronaut's helmet visor with a space scene reflected in it.



    This actually makes the 4th guitar in a series of 1990 USA Jacksons like this. Here's 3 of the 4:

    "Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,
    Gotta get away from here.
    Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
    Waitin' for the sun to appear..."

    Nice variation on the Space graphic theme. There was another in the dealer graphics album with the view that's reflected in the astronaut's helmet, so if you found that one, you'd have one from the astronaut's point of view as well as the scene reflected in his visor.
    I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

          Cool Astronaut graphic. I'm sure I've seen another "Girl" graphic pretty much like yours on ebay recently.

            This why I love these too. I love the graphics. They are functional pieces of art. I wish I had more.

              Is that cop graphic called "sweating buillets" or something? I always liked that one as well, nice set.

                  Thanks for the compliments, guys. The cop graphic was officially listed as "Pig Sweat" but also goes as "Metalhead and Cop."
