Latest acquisition: JJ1

[YetAnotherOne]

Many thanks go out to Chris Olson for giving me a shot at this one. It's absolutely beautiful, a killer player and came in a *really* nice TKL case:

Thanks man, I'm *really* digging this guitar. The only problem is that I find myself wondering why I didn't pick one up sooner. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Wasn't this from E-bay last week sold for $500?
Great score in my opinion.
Congrats!

Re: Latest acquisition: JJ1

Does that have the new pickup that he had SD make for him? They weren't supposed to make them for mass production, wondered if they are putting them in the signature guitars.

I am liking the JJ more and more. Yours looks great. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] I will be thinking about picking up a neck thru model in the future.

Re: Latest acquisition: JJ1

Does it have the V shaped neck and if so, how does it feel compared to say an SL1?

Re: Latest acquisition: JJ1

Glad you like it Brad!

To answer some questions - no, it wasn't the ebay guitar. I bought it locally. Had to sell it to pay for some dental work. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] It doesn't have the "V" profile. I'd say more of a "C" profile. It's a bolt-on, so it's got the oil-finished neck. I didn't think this neck had so much of the "wide-flat" feel of most Jacksons - it felt a little more like a 60's Gibson neck to me. This guitar came out before they started putting Scott's sig on the headstock, and I believe the pickup is a JB.

Anyway, enjoy Brad!

Re: Latest acquisition: JJ1

And JJ means Jackson Junior.
Correct?

Re: Latest acquisition: JJ1

Im guessing the way the JACKSON logo is spelled out they have used various letters from different album covers? I recognise a few of those.

J is from "slippery when wet" and S is from "never mind the bollocks".

At a guess anyway.

Nice guitar btw. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Damn, everytime I see a JJ with flames I get a serious case of GAS!
