Jackson USA Custom Select

[Jacksons Rock]

I am ordering a Jackson USA Custom Select and I want the headstock to look identical to the picture below. Can someone confirm that this is the 90's style logo for Jackson at 100% sizing. This is the complete list of options I am choosing.

*Soloist SL2H
*Color: Solid Color - Snow White
*Headstock Finish: Paint Matching Solid Finish
*Headstock Logo: Jackson 90's
*Logo Size: 80%
*Logo Color: Black
*Nut Material: Locking Nut (Floyd Rose)
*Neck Finish: Oil Finish
*Inlay Type: Sharkfin
*Inlay Color: Pearl
*Fingerboard Type: Ebony
*Truss Rod Cover: 3ply blk-wht-blk
*Tuners: Gotoh
*Hardware Color: Black
*Fret Wire: Jumbo Stainless Steel
*Bridge: Floyd Rose, 37mm top mount
*Neck Binding: Ivoroid
*Headstock Binding: Ivoroid
*Pickup Rings: Black
*Control Options: Dome Metal(Black)
*Controls: Volume 1/2" back
* EVH low friction volume
* EVH high friction tone
*Strings 9-42
*Tuning: E Flat
*Pickups: Dimarzio Super Distortion Bridge, Dimarzio PAF Pro Neck

I may do a reverse head stock if the option is available. Does anyone know if the logo sizing would need to be changed to 80% or 60% if I went with a reverse headstock?

I'd say that logo is smaller...

That looks like 80% logo. A 100% logo would have the tail of the N almost touching the high e tuning peg and the front part of the J would be more under the truss cover, like this:

You can always send that picture to your dealer to forward to the Jackson rep for confirmation...

Thanks guys, I am getting this through Matt @ www.mattsmusic.com. He contacted Jackson and confirmed that the logo in the picture I posted is 80%. Also, 80% would be the sizing used if it were a reverse headstock. Matt is extremely helpful by the way.

"The geometry on a reverse headstock makes the 100% logo a very tight fit and cuts off portions; so we use the 80% logo on reverse headstocks, they look and fit much better."

Jacksons Rock, I like the specs on your Soloist. That should look classy as well as fit equally well in a hard rocking band at the same time I prefer the standard pointy headstock to reverses myself, but its going to look great either way!

Thank you roodyrocker, I think it will look great. I am new to Jackson guitars. The first Jackson I have ever owned or played is a recently acquired SL2H-V. I have never owned a guitar that played this well.

I decided to go with a standard pointy headstock on this new guitar. I will post some pictures when it arrives.

Jackson's logo distinction has always been a train wreck. It's one point where I have always had a problem with custom guitars I have ordered.

That logo is the one I sent pics of for my last order and never got a straight answer as to what they actually refer to it as in the factory. It's not 90's. That's what Jackson said it was after the pics I sent and I signed off on "white 90's logo" and they simply painted/silkscreened this logo on

Luckily I sent about 5 pictures with my order so they did take the guitar back and refinish the headstock with the correct logo. But that was another 4 month wait.

Seems like a lot of late 80's/early 90's models had that style logo. Perhaps it's just an 80% "80's logo". Then again, maybe it is a 90's logo and they just fucked up my guitar. Not like that ever happens....

That's a MOP logo.

And you're correct, logo distinction is kinda weird.

All of the customs I order have had a bordered logo like this:

As long as the logo is black in color and sized at 80% I won't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad.

I have been a Jackson fan for a long time. I do have other brands as well but I always liked my Jacksons best With a standard pointy headstock the one you ordered is very worthy

Picture this with black Dimarzio's and an 80% logo size and this should be what it resembles. Now excuse me while I go clean the drool off the keyboard.
