Jackson Soloist #664

[Crushpuppy]

Hi all!
I am new to this forum but I have been playing Jackson guitars since the mid '80's.
Wanted to share this with you guys. I recently purchased a vintage Jackson #664 that was in the process of restoration. The paint had been stripped, no hardware other than the original tuners, no pickups, no Tremlo bar and the fretts had been leveled.



I had the fretts crowned, Replaced hardware and pickups. I went with a Duncan Custom Custom HB. Man This guitar is incredible! I left the bare wood because I think it looks awesome. I was not sold on the Khaler at first since I have always had Floyds. As you guys know the feel is totally different I'd call it "Spongey" compared to the Floyd. What I really like about the old Khaler is when you do double stop bends it does not detune!

I have 2 other Jacksons, SL2H and a Dinky. I have 2 Charvels as well a Model 1 & 6.

This #664 is truely special and I feel incredibly lucky to have aquired it.
Enjoy and thanks for reading.

No scarf joint, damn I hate you, That is very cool. I'd have a hard time covering up that flamed maple too.

I put a CC in my 1980's era ESP Horizon and it sounds amazing as well. I usually don't like two of the same pickup but I bought another CC to find out if it's the pickup or the guitar.

BTW, I can't find Slayerville, NJ on a map.

Not an ESP fan, but way cool. Is that a USA model?

A friend of mine in the '80s had a Lynch Bengal that was pretty hip.

I don't own it, but it's a Signature Series Jeff Hanneman model. ESP is a Japanese company, and I don't think they have any USA customs any more; though, they do (did?) have a shop in California.

Thanks man. Actually my fave strat neck is my contemporary series MIJ. The Japanese build great necks. I will look into it.

Peace
