Jackson pc-1

[stardust_au]

I am looking at buying a Jackson PC-1 Phill collen signature model.

After doing some research on the net i have noticed that this particular guitar has 3 knobs on it a volume, tone, a sustain control.

The guitar that i am looking at has only 2 knobs on it, but i believe that it is still a USA made model.
Can anyone tell me the difference ?
between the 3 knob and the 2 knob PC-1

Thanks Ken

Sounds like an import PC3. Does it look like this?

Re: Jackson pc-1

No it has the 2 toggle switches and 2 pots (knobs)
It has the sustainer in it.
There is a post here about the PC-1 and the pics in it have both.

It could also be a modded PC-3. Does it have the dual 9V battery box in the back? They could have added the Sustainer. Also, check to see if it is a Jackson sustainer (18 Volt). They could have put a "Sustainiac" 9V system on there too and put the battery in the control compartment.

Early PC1s had only two knobs - volume and sustainer intensity. No tone control. If it's a USA, it's just an early-ish one.

Wish they'd go back to that set-up, actually. Tone knobs are useless, IMHO. Ditch the tone knobs and consolidate the dual two-way mini-toggles into a single three-way mini, and it'd be perfect.

BTW, how the heck do you not have a screename? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

<font color="aqua">there have actually been a few new people without names around here lately but if you highlight over them, you can see the names. They're just not "showing" for some reason. Possibly after the upgrades the font had changed to black accidentally and all the new members are going to be like that? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] </font>

Re: Jackson pc-1

people are probably tired of seeing this picture, but this is the difference between PC-1s. the euphoria is 1999, the solar is a 2001. notice the euphoria has 2 knobs and the solar has 3.

Re: Jackson pc-1

Never tired of seeing that pic. Beautiful guitars! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Now just imagine the Euphoria with one less mini toggle - a 3-way instead. Wouldn't that have a much cleaner appearance? Less "clutter" or busyness from so many knobs and switches, which I've heard several people comment on as a turn-off for PC1s.

i like the 89789876875279 knobs on the PC1's

Re: Jackson pc-1

Don't get me wrong. IMHO, it's not a big deal, either. But I have heard several people speak about this issue as a turn-off, where they might otherwise consider buying a PC1. And, while it'd never stop me from buying a guitar, I do prefer simple set-ups like suggested.

Re: Jackson pc-1

totally agree...less is definitely more!
how about 1H 1Vol? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] then we'd see more of that beautiful wood exposed! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
