  • 1986 San Dimas JA0003 Arrives!

    <font color="aqua">Yep! She arrived about 2 hours ago, and I'm as giddy as a schoolboy [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] This thing is beautiful to play as much it is to look at. Nice FAT neck and yes, I already changed the knob as the "top hat" gibson type knob felt wrong... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Once again the seller was totaly honest with his description and the guitar is in fact in better condition than his pics portrayed which is always a nice surprise. It came with the original pickups and bridge which was a nice added feature to be able to keep it original. Custom custom in the bridge and a jazz in the neck is an excellent combo and sounds amazing and "massive" in this chunk of mahogany. The worst "damage" that you can say it has is a tiny chip in the clear (just the clear) on the tip of the headstock. It wouldn't be a Jackson if it didn't have that right?

    How cool is it that it's the 3rd Archtop built?!?!

    On to the pics of course (please excuse the reflections of the tripod, I assure you they are not scratches [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]):








    I took a shot outside as well so you could see the maple top a little better:

            Excellent score Dave, congrats!

            Totally small point: that 80s style logo is just waaaaay better looking than the current one.

              Your 2 Charvel 750XL-s (plural). If you don't remember them, then perhaps you don't need both of them. [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

                        <font color="aqua">oh THOSE!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                        No, seriously, anyone who has ever played the 750XL, knows what a great guitar those are and they are VERY similar to the Jackson. I'll give you a full comparison later on.

                        Thanks so much for the kind words fellers and Bert, I may have to do that someday soon!! </font> </font>

                              Nice. The grain looks great, and the color on that outside shot is amazing.
