Re: Jackson Soloist Info Help!
A custom shop SL1 maybe?
The hum-sing-sing pickup combo is an SL1 style, but the pickguard and reverse sharkies makes me think custom shop. Extremely nice catch. -

Re: Jackson Soloist Info Help!
I don't see a serial number on the end of the fretboard... is there one elsewhere?
That pickguard reminds me of a Charvel Spectrum's pickguard, or one of those really old Precision Basses. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]Comment

I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

you remember?
a employee project too
seem there was someone assidous / bored in that time
1992 maybe
it was the year with the lowest output at all (regarding to the serials) :
only 625 guitars in that year, thats only 12 per week
very low, compared to 87-89 and 97 with almost 3K per year (50+ per week)
i can imagina that there was lots of time for employee projectsComment

Re: Jackson Soloist Info Help!
Has a JB/Spectrum vibe going. Very nice! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
It must be custom or an employee's project. Have you checked the control cavities yet? Might be something in there?You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.Comment

Re: Jackson Soloist Info Help!
Yeah it's pretty much like the orange JB soloist. What's the deal with all those mini switches? Coil-split?Comment

Probably not an SL1 but a late 80s Soloist Custom with minor changes from "standard" to approximate Jeff Beck´s soloist (J/C was still a "pure" CS at that time with no USA Select or similar series), the heel was changed a few years ago (not that the old one was any problem IMO) [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Judging by the Schaller Trem (which seems to be stock), I´d say it´s a fair guess to put this axe in the 1989-1990 timeframe, because in 1990 the heed was "cut away" to one like Micha´s, but in 88 the JT-6 would have been more likely....Comment
