NGD - Root Beer PC-1

[Ward]

I don't often pull the trigger on a brand new Jackson - usually try to find something used - but this time I did.

Should be interesting. It is my first maple board, my first mahogany Jackson, the first with Dimarzios, my first sustainer, and the first bolt on Jackson I have bought in over 10 years.

It is a Jackson, but I am definitely out of my comfort zone with this one. I've been looking for variety lately, and this one fits the bill.

PC-1 in Root Beer:





Here's an indoor shot. It is not quite so bright when it isn't in the sun:

[vklobucar]

Wow!!! That is one sweet PC1!

Looks kinda like a deep Solar in the sunlight mind you.

I know that you will just love that baby!

[Gartron]

That's all kinds of nice!

[MetalDaze]

Are you happy with the Root Beer? I think it looks great!

[neilli]

Nice guitar. But that's a fantastic location for the pics!

[Ward]

Thanks all.

dmccarthy: Very happy with the root beer. I was worried that it might be too dark for my tastes, but it is a medium brown just like you said. Thanks again for the insight.

neilli: Thanks, that is the view from the deck off of my living room. The ice finally left the lake a couple days before the pics. It's been a cold spring...

I love my PC-1. It's slowly becoming my #1. The wolfgang is holding on.

If you're used to the traditional Jackson feel this guitar is a pretty big departure. I personally love the larger neck, bolt on construction, and bare wood neck. Only thing I couldnt get used too was the Super 3 bridge pickup. It's a fine pickup all by itself but when switching from my Wolfgang, Hamer, Strat, or others it was just too dark. I swapped in a Suhr Aldridge. HUGE Improvement!!! Really completes the package. The pickup has a vintage PAF vibe too it but also sounds hot. Mids and high's cut through. This guitar is no longer burried in the mix.

I have PC-1 GAS coming up again now

Congrats, it's a beauty you just got. I'd have expected it to be much "browner", this looks quite orange to me. But that's probably just because it's a real picture and not a stock pic from the internet. Congrats again, I hate you for owning a PC-1 while I don't ! (j/k)

Beautiful!

Let me add that Jeff Ward is a stand up guy with a great Jackson collection. He and I used to bid against eachother on cool graphic Jacksons in the early days of eBay. He usually won! Cool to see you posting on the JCF, and that's a killer axe, Jeff. Rock on!

[Ward]

Thanks for the kind words, Joe. Amazing that we were bidding against each other over ten years ago.

I'm surprised I never found the JCF until now, but better late than never!
