PC-1 Project on the way!!!!

I love Jackson strat heads but equally hate tremolos of any kind. Might just sell the body and get a hardtail of some type. i've actually never played a pc1 but heard the necks are beefy. yum. if only it were LH. and for the money if i dont dig it i'll just post it here in the classifieds.

That body is gorgeous id kill for that mofo lol

[CMH (OH)]

Cool. I think this is the first pc1 I've ever seen parted like that.

1000 seems steep to me. Seen many a complete one on the used market for around 1500 or so.

$1k is high for just a body and neck.
Good luck finding a control cover for the electronics route too. I don't even think Dave has a template for one of those.

I wouldn't mind having the body. But the last thing I need is another project.

[10string]

Yeah, it took me a bit to convince myself to pull the trigger.

But how often do you see jackson strat head necks for sale? PC1 necks, no less? Honestly I did it just for the neck. the body is just chedar.

And the "...This guitar is brand new & still has the hang tag..." soothes the gaping hole that is now in my pocket.

all that i need to purchase to get this playable is the floyd nut and the hardtail bridge replacement for the floyd. like everbody else here I have a shoebox full of pickups/vol pots/strap buttons. Anyone got any black jackson tuners they want to trade for the gold ones that this is comming with?

and according to the ad the covers are included.

If it makes any difference, I just picked up a PC1 for $900 and it had all its components. Offer him $500 and say your money is freshly printed.

Looks like a cool project!!!

The thing is, will that PC1 neck retrofit on a normal strat body? That's why I thought people pretty much never parted them out....

[RobRR]

Yeah itll fit on any other 24 fret Jackson body. Its not a horrible price but far from good, I mean all the major stuff is there except the sustainer. In reality, $200 for a new Floyd, about $200 in pickups and other odds and ends, you'll have a nice PC1 for around $1500 minus the sustainer... but IMO the sustainer is the best part of those guitars, Ill never part with mine!

But seriously though, who the fuck parts out a brand new PC1? I dunno, something just doesnt seem right.

[10string]

CHRIST!!!! Has the floor fallen out on the value of PC-1s or what? two complete and mint ones just sold today on ebay for $1200 and $1350. I had no idea the values were on the slide. oh well, its only money. right? (grrrrrr)

I have no idea... I've only seen the imports parted out.

The value of all Jacksons are pretty much in the tank. Only a few models command a premium, but those prices have tanked too. I feel sorry for all those hardcore SD and Prepro Charvel guys... some of them sunk many tens, if not hundreds of thousands thinking they'll bank off them only to find a decade later, they're still not really worth all that much. They should have invested in old Gibsons and Fenders.

All that tells me is that its a good time to buy another used USA model

[coloradoman25]

I dont think they are in the tank its only USA sales that are tanked. Coming from someone that might know lol

$1,300 has seemed to be the range for a few years. I was looking pretty hard for a PC-1 back on 2008 and that's what most of the nice ones were going for. Actually, if anything, I was thinking it seemed values were up in the last year or so. Those two Ebay examples seem to be a sign of settling back to the old values.

It's a buyer's market, that's for sure.
