Re: Short scale Soloist??

I will take any combination listed with the exception of the 3+3 headstock. I'd like a reverse or regular classic Jackson style.

Short scale rules!

Re: Short scale Soloist??

I'd like to see short scale versions of a couple guitars. A short scale SL2H stop tail would be cool as would a short scale Rhoads and/or Kelly. If they were production models I'd definitely buy em.

Re: Short scale Soloist??

Based on this thread and several other posts, I think there is enough interest to initiate this LE:

Neck-through Soloist body in ash (no-cost upgrade, per JCS online form), painted Snow White, with oiled, 22 fret, 24.75" scale, maple/maple neck, black headstock, 1H, 1 vol, black hardware, Floyd.

Whaddya think?

I'd personally like to see it with a slanted, direct-mounted pickup, a lower "horn" contour a la the Fusion, offset dot markers like the Dinky Reverse had, and a Jem-style output jack, but I don't know if enough people would agree on those specs.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, quite a few Dinkies have that scalloped horn, some Fusions did not. And some Fusions also had offset dot inlays. [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

As for the one humbucker/one volume control, I think most people find that limiting and prefer to have a neck pickup, too. The tone control can be done without, but some people also like that, but a concentric pot could easily be added anyway.

Black binding would be freaking sweet. A matching headstock + black logo would be cool, too.

Re: Short scale Soloist??

Has anyone here ever heard of the Jackson Infinity? Hello?! Is there anybody out there? Oh, ok. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] It was a 22 fret archtop Soloist with a set neck just like the Soloist Archtop Pro. Dual hums, abalone/pearl diamond inlays, matching headstock, bound body/neck/headstock, JT-590 Schaller tremolo, what more could you ask for? I suggest you guys seek one out, they are not too common but pop up from time. Check the JCF Gallery, some bloke in there owns a blue flamed top Infinity...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's what I meant. Body, neck, and headstock.

Re: Short scale Soloist??

I would go for that with full sharkies and a regular headstock, I can`t stand reverese headstocks, but that is getting close!! Jack.

full reverse sharkies would be good too. and maybe a black bodybinding.

Re: Short scale Soloist??

So no one has ever seen one? I figured Jackson would have have made one at some point,
either Custom or production, USA or import.

The SLS and Infinity are cool, but I'm talking about just a regular Soloist.
I can't believe it is this hard to find one.

Re: Short scale Soloist??

I'm sure someone has ordered a short-scaled custom somewhere over the years, but I don't think a production was done mainly because J/C were always known as "Super Strats"... and we all know Strats have the 25.5" scale.

Re: Short scale Soloist??

While we're generating short scale soloists, here's what I'm going to order from the CS, eventually.
