Yeh, what does "OBD" stand for?

My '86 San Dimas has the same writing.

Re: Ontario Jackson Maple Board/Sharkies Photos

7243 could be the work order number which is typically different from the serial number. My '88 also has work order number written in those places which is similar to but not the same as its plated serial #.

Well, guys, my prayers to the Jackson Custom Shop Gods have been answered. In the form of an email, no less.

Here's the skinny straight from Tim Wilson himself: (ADMINS: this is paraphrased, not his actual email)

Serial Number is 7342, Work Order number is 7243. Funny coincidence, huh?

Dinky Strat, Built 1/31/90. 1 hum, 1 slanted single coil, scalloped heel and horn, Schaller trem (clearly the Floyd is the replacement as many have surmised), black metallic, and most importantly:

Maple Fingerboard with pearl sharkfins.

This one's legit, my bruthas. Many props to Tim and the folks at the custom shop for answering my questions -- that's a way cool move on their part.

Oh and by the way, Tim told me what "OBD" means:

"Oil, Black head, decal."

That is awesome, I'm glad you were able to get that information.

I think Tim is going to be indundated with RFIs after this thread. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

How does one get in contact with this Tim fellow?!?

Been dying to get the scoop on my Jackson Custom bolt-on S/N 1149.

Nice. Let me know when you are ready to drop that off at my house! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Very interesting look on that one. For my two cents, it does look like the headstock was either slightly re-shaped or perhaps chipped off.

Re: Ontario Jackson Maple Board/Sharkies Photos

Very cool score. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
It reminds me of the Hamer Californian, which has a similarly exaggerated super-Strat body shape and the same pickup layout (well, mine did, anyway). They were great guitars, too. Only problem was, the 27-fret neck confused the heck out of me.

Anyway, congrats on getting this cool and very unique guitar!

Re: Ontario Jackson Maple Board/Sharkies Photos

Ya how does one go about getting this type of info? I have a jackson SnakeSkin Strat Bolt on San dimas plate #5120 and I'd love to see the work order that went with that Plate.
Please Share the Wealth!!

Re: Ontario Jackson Maple Board/Sharkies Photos

You are not going to get it here. We all want work order info, but that info is almost impossible to get these days.

Re: Ontario Jackson Maple Board/Sharkies Photos

Sweet Fiddle!

It is a bummer that they are not sharing SD Chavel work orders any more. I have a few and I only know that 1 is all original. The others are suspect and I would like to find out what they are missing. Plus, I have a loose plate for what I think is a star. It has the extra hole drilled in it like my old star does.

Re: Ontario Jackson Maple Board/Sharkies Photos

cool guitar, but the reshaped headstock is awkward...


cheers

Re: Ontario Jackson Maple Board/Sharkies Photos

I agree, very nice. I think if I had it I would send that body off to GMW for a nice paint treatment. That neck is just KILLER! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I think snakeskin would look great with that neck.




but that's just me...
