my custom soloist

[oldjacksondude]

this is my baby here she's totally custom more so in detail than by look,she was built in 96 and sports a snow white paint job,3 custom hand wound duncans (not standard line)sounds amazing. a floyd,mohoghany body,maple cap,1/4 sawn maple neck,reverse headstock,custom neck its slightly thinner than a standard soloist which makes for a custom radious(opposed to stock),medium jumbo frets,also 25 7/8th scale (the frets are a tiny bit further apart in some of the lead area)ebony board w/sharks(nice hand selected pearl simply gorgous)also,the volume and tone was moved back of course a must on any custom for me,as well as many others i see taking the pot out of the guitar or switching with tone ect.ect ect.

Re: my custom soloist

Sweet!

I really dig the reverse headstock and the knobs layout!!!

Re: my custom soloist

Very sweet yes!
Just out of curisoity, why the longer scale neck?
And what does those custom duncans sound like? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: my custom soloist

np, it adds just enough for someone with larger/wider fingers to be a little more comfortable in the lead i have wide fingers and tend to tilt them on 25.5 necks on this neck it feels right/perfect to me also,the medium jumbos help with this as well.as for the duncans the sound awesome i must say that they are my favorite sounding pick ups yet! clean yet big growl.......

Amazing that you posted this one today, I'm in the process of sorting out a custom order and was leaning towards an enlongated-scale white Soloist. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Awesome guitar! I love white guitars (especially with matching headstocks)!

Re: my custom soloist

WOW!
Looks great but what's up with that huge Warmoth looking control cavity??
That could be the biggest cavity on Jackson I have ever seen!

It looks quite longer than others I have seen before but then when I look at some of newer Soloist, yes Dave you are right. They have the same cavity plates.

Re: my custom soloist

wonderful guitar, classy but it still screams r'n'r!

Do the strings feel stiffer because of the longer scale?

Re: my custom soloist

Awesome guitar! It is sharp looking.

Re: my custom soloist

I think his angle of the shot makes it look longer.
