A simple 1hum soloist.
I hope Jackson would let this happens.
If so, it will open up for many choices such as WR 1hum, RR 1hum, KV 1hum and so on.

This is an ideal piece for me, especially with a big neck. Get me a quote.

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

I like the string thru idea better personally. Ash is cool. The p/u 's are fine. 3 way blade or 3 way toggle.... Either is cool. Fatter neck? YES!!! That is a must for me to do it. Thicker not wider. I am not talking huge but my Explorer has a thicker neck and I love it. I like the older SD soloists necks better than the newer. They were just a bit thicker and rounder. Even the Model series Charvel neckshape is close to those. I love those necks. Color: How about a sparkle? The Gretsch Orange made me think of the sparkley Gretsch's ... The orange would be cool with black hardware too. Sparkle finish - Maybe just the front? Back could be black? Black HS - Old school logo is great. Not the newer pearl looking kind. Older logo has so much more class IMO... I love reverse headstocks too but I could/would go either way with that... Cost would be a factor for most of us so some of the options would either make it or break it price wise.. Binding over the frets is great but it would be pricey...

Ok, Chuck I'm cool with these aspects: frets, p/u's, ash, string thru, either switch, thicker neck(YAY!!).

Color is not really a deal breaker assuming it's not butt ugly. 1 5/8" nut would be perfect, but most don't dig that - so I'm loose on the nut. Sharkies, dots, ebony, rosewood or maple...whatever.

Count me as +1, guys.

How about a natural finish w/matching head, maple board with black sharks?

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

No, it's gonna be Ebony and MOP Sharks.
I would prefer a clear/natural finish on the body with the black face, but I'll bet nobody else would go for that.

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

That is fine with me. Clear with the black face. Would they upcharge us because they would have to use better wood?

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

+1 on the clear with black face.

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

That sounds like a cool color combo.

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

Well...cool!
Should look great with the swamp ash wings.

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

OK, we need a head count. How many are down with this? I need a realistic headcount for a dealer to decide if we should do this.

Specs are:

22 fret Soloist Tune-o-Matic String Thru
Maple neck-thru with Swamp Ash body wings
Ebony and MOP Sharks
Black Headstock w/ Old School Jackson Decal Logo
Custom Shop sticker on headstock
1 5/8" nut
6100 frets
Thick neck (not LP thick, but close)
Oiled neck
1 Duncan Custom, 1 Duncan Lil 59
1 Vol, three way blade switch
Small SD Cavity
Black Hardware
Clear Finish on Body

I think that's it...

Gimme a tentative Yay or a Nay...I have no clue what this will cost, but we will find out.

Go ahead and get a estimate. You have a couple of things they may not allow, so you may have to refine the list.

Like?

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

22 frets, the Custom Shop sticker and the neck carve. Meaning they may not do it without going full Custom Shop.
