comments? Pics, Pics, PICS!!!!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Sounds like a Model 3 body with a Model 4 neck and a SD plate. [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

But seriously, congrats! It sounds great. I love finding sleepers like this. The bad action and grime probably kept a lot of people away until someone who knew what they were looking at came along. A couple of bucks and some elbow grease later, and you've got yerself a great axe! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

More info, for those into the San Dimas guitars who have the experience I don't have.

The work order number appears to be #2629, and the date written into the neck pocket seems to be 12-18-84.

VG, this is a Jackson bro, no model stuff [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I still can't believe I scored this for $500 [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

LPC,
Nice score! Did you say it's definitely a Jackson and not a Charvel? I have Charvel bolt-on 3650 and Jackson bolt-ons 1077 & 1255. The Charvel is that minty fresh candy red strat. The Jacksons are WarriorX7's gorgeous candy red explorer from 85/86 and 1255 is a bengal strat from 86. I love these SD guitars. I have some others that are neck thrus but the old bolt-ons are so freakin' cool! Send pics when you get her ready.

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

If it's a Jackson San Dimas plate (as opposed to a Charvel San Dimas plate), then that S/N would actually make it an '87-'89 Ontario built w/ "leftover plate". But still a good find! I love those early Ontario axes.

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

Jackson logo, 3510, and 12/84 all make no sense whatsoever. Me thinks it's a parts guitar. Could be a Charvel body. Any numbers on the neck heel? Is the neck plate Jackson or Charvel? Careful which chart you're lookin at, too.

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

That's why I asked whether it was a Jackson or Charvel.....I didn't want it to look like I was saying that the guitar was any less cool if it was an Ontario. I tried to use mine as examples in hopes that he meant it was a Charvel and not a Jackson. Either way, Ontario or SD, if it's a legit guitar, and nothing here says it aint, it's probably still a great score. I think he gave the work order number above. Maybe somebody who's more familiar with them can give an approximate year.

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

Tom, I'm probably about as familiar with these as they come. But the w/o is not much help with these. The s/n and date on the body don't match. That plate would be about 87-88. I bet the plate matches the neck and with that date penciled in, it adds up to be a Charvel body.

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

Here are some preliminary pics of the new Jackson.

Krista and I looked at the neck, and we have both agreed that it says 12-18-97 (oh well, still a 17 year old guitar). The work order number 2629 is on the neck, inside neck pocket, and also inside the Kahler route.

I don't think it is a mutt, I think it is original except the pups (I want to rip this guys head off for doing that).

Sorry about the misinformation on my part while looking at the chart. I was rather excited about the guitar and in my exhuberence I mis-read.

The neck is fucking incredible on this puppy!! I have to get some steel wool and clean it up, but it is sweet. I cleaned/polished the fingerboard last night and it looks great now.

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

Maybe I am wrong.... but nothing about that guitar says San Dimas at all with the exception of a plate which from the serial # puts it in at one of the old plates that they started using way after the move across the street.

Cavity route is Ontario.... Tuners.... Logo...
What I think you have there is an Ontario Guitar that was one of the ones that Jackson started using the leftover SD plates. Very cool axe and a fair price for it though. Cool matching HS and it looks like it is in really nice shape. Maybe the 4's are really 9's....

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

wow, what a looker! I love that guitar.

**Firebird V** · 02-01-2004, 09:22 AM

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

According to the chart this is in fact a 1987 Ontario made bolt on with a leftover SD neck plate. You a re right with the 7's

Cool score LPC [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: San Dimas Jackson #3510 In Da\' House!!

Aside from the fact that the very last Jackson bolt-on made in the San Dimas facility was #1505 [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
