Mid and late nineties Lightning sky graphic?

[destructin_od]

Hey everybody. I am about to purchase a 1997 Sl1 Lightning Sky. The seller will send me some pictures in a couple of days but i wanted to ask here anyway. When did the LS graphic changed from this

I would love some pics of your late nineties lightning sky jacksons.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure, but there's been a few different variations and colors of the lightning sky graphic.

I smell a 'Let's see your Lightning Sky' thread brewing. That is, if one doesn't exist already. [too burnt to search at the moment]
Might make a good read/view.

I don't particularly care for any of them, but the cloudless version is the least annoying of them, IMO.

Good luck with your purchase, LS graphic rocks.

Lightning Sky is cool. Of course there is:

Lightning Sky




...and then there is Lightning Ball

I prefer balls. Wait what?

Here's my late 80's lightning sky.

Sorry, but the Red Lightning Sky will forever win the battle.

But that Lightning Ball is awesome.

balls with lightning? Thats what I said already, Lightning Ball

Sorry, but the Red Lightning Sky will forever win the battle.

But that Lightning Ball is awesome.

Thank you Newc. That Red Lightning Sky was really cool, no doubt about it!

I don't see no Ball!

More like Lightning Rectangle!

Try arguing that with the hang tag! I think its the fact that the lightning radiates outward from the pickup area, sort of like that ball that has the elecricity moving around as you touch it. Whatever Jackson chose to call it made no difference to me. When I saw it pop up on E-Bay about 10-11 years ago for a great price, it had to come home

Wow..mine looks just like Roody's LS. I never seen a LB..B for ball.

But I did rub my balls on John's 80's Lightning Sky. If you look at the finish in the right light, you could see a teabag-print graphic. I think it's killer!

It's like the lightning is striking the teabag..as if though an abomination of god.

[MetalDaze]

How did you get a clean transfer of the teabag with your pubes in the way? Do you dabble in Brazillians?

[MikeStrat]

I think they stopped making the teabag lightning sky in 85. This is an 87-88.
