Those guitars were custom made to order, so while unusual, the stock top-mounted pickups & jack are certainly a possibility, so it could very well be legit (body shape looks about right to me). I've never seen a bolt-on custom with that config, but there was a Soloist with that config on E-bay a while back.
Does the trem cavity have the typical Jackson template stamped into it? (indicating work order, year of manufacture, etc.?)
The seller of that guitar told me he added the pickguard, but clearly since it has no rear control route it must have originally had some kind of pickguard. Perhaps he meant he had "replaced" the pickguard, which probably was needed to fit the replacement pickups. Hopefully he didn't have to drill any extra holes or route the body when he did that!
FYI at $404, it would look to be quite the deal. Tough to make out from the pics, but does the headstock have a graphic finish matching the body? That's VERY cool if it does (and would indicate it's legit since that would be very tough to fake).
(For the e-bay impaired, the guitar is here.)
