New Pics of my 85 Soloist

[eagleman]

Hello everyone,
I purchased this 85 soloist last week. Just thought I would post a new pic after I replaced the pickups and knobs. At first I hated the color, but after the new knobs and pickups I think it's a keeper [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

When I first purchased her:


After pickups and Knobs were changed:

wow, I never realized how big a difference knobs/pickup color could make!! it looks like a heap of junk in the first pic, but in the second pic I can actually dig it! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

The trem and routing for it looks a little weird though. What trem is that?

Congrats on the new axe!

Thnks! it's a Khaler trem. I think Jackson used them often in the early and mid 80's.

Wow, that's a gorgeous guitar, and pretty rare, too, with the dual-hum configuration. Congrats.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Pink one in the bridge is a Dimarzio. there is no sticker on it, so I am not sure what model. The white Bridge pickup is a Duncan 59.
