Jackson San-Dima's?

[garysblues]

I traded a Schecter korean C/SH-1 for this guitar. Stratocaster Bolt-On neck. San-Dima's neck plate with a reverse bound headstock marked made in U.S.A. and a bound neck. Dot inlays, Brazilian fretboard with jubo frets. Floyd Rose, SSH configuration, 5-way switch with 1-Volume control. The Color is written on the inside of the Trem. cavity as Burgandy Mist with a # 3034. The # that appears on the San-Dima's neck plate is 6483. I would like to know anything you could tell me about this guitar. Year, Value etc etc. The guitar really plays great, like butter, the neck and fret job is amazing. It has a very good tone in all positions. In great shape exept one small chip on the back of the axe by the strap button. Information is very hard to obtain on these guitars. I will post photo's as soon as I figure whats wrong with my Jave Script? Worked fine yesterday, today I can't get a picture uploaded? Anyway thanks guys. I been playing forever Gibsons, Fenders and Hamers through Blackface and Silverface Fender Amps. This is my first Jackson. Just was pretty taken back by its action, feel, and tone! May be something new to get into! As I said I'm new here and to Jacksons but not playing etc etc. Thanks Gary T.

PS, I was also told by the owner the guitar was a 87 custom ordered with a Maple body? Said this was suppose to be to copy a George Lynch guitar? Has 22 frets also. I think I mentioned everything i could. I will get pictures together ASAP!

The year would fit the "resources" serial list fine:

Gary,

3034 is the work order number, and 6483 is the serial, which would in fact put it around 87/88 (made in Ontario, CA). These strats tend to be a bit undervalued, usually going for around $500-$600. You got a hell of a deal, though, in my opinion.

Great score for sure.If you would weigh the guitar, if its around 8 lbs it is probably poplar if it is around 10 lbs it could be maple.The San Dimas neck plate was used 87-89 but the guitars were made in Ontario Cal.All Jacksons of this time period were custom made because they had no production line guitars until around 90.
+1 on the work order number and serial number.Post pics as soon as you can thats a big help in documenting as many of these guitars as we can, pics of the front and back and of the neck pocket and neck heel are very helpful.

Sounds like an Ontario made Jackson strat. It's not a soloist if it has a neck plate. Soloists are neck thru guitars and the strats have bolt-on necks. $300 for a Jackson strat is a heck of a deal!

Oooops!

Bwahahahaha! I used to have a stock phrase for newbies rushing in here with info requests on their Jacksons! It was "See you in the Classifieds!"

Now I guess I say "See you on eBay!"
