Tell me about my soloist artwork... please?

[freakmatt]

I recently acquired a Jackson Soloist USA thru neck originating from the Ontario factory in 1991. I'm well pleased with it, it's a lovely guitar in great condition.

It has a sun setting over the sea scene on the front, and I'm trying to find out about this artwork. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Is this applied via a transfer, or is each guitar hand painted? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

A pic would help, there are a few different graphics from that era incorporating a sunset and a sea or beach

[VitaminG]

those graphics are real. painted on, not transferred

I had meant to include a picture, but wasn't sure how! Sorry to be dense ;-)

Thanks for the instructions. Does this mean I have to have my picture already on a website somewhere, or can I paste one straight from my pc?
Sorry, don't mean to be stupid!

Like this? Picture belongs to Charvel750. 1991 like yours.

Yes, you need an online file host. Try imageshack or photobucket.com

Unfortunately I'm not able to sort out a picture at present, but thanks for the tips.

Jackson1, nice guitar. My Soloist artwork is very similar, the theme and composition of the image is the same with the sea occupying the bottom third with the sunset above, although the finished image is not identical.

I really appreciate your interest.
I have managed to get a picture of my Soloist onto a website. If you get chance to have a quick look that'd be great. You'll find the guitar at the bottom of the following page...

Any more info would be great.

Can't give you any more info, but it's very cool looking!

[freakmatt]

Nice one, thanks for that.
Now we have picture up (thanks to toejam), any info from any experts out there?

usa series soloist...sunset is the name of the graphic...made in small production lots...while the themes are similar no 2 are exactly the same...d.m.

It's NICE!!!!

[freakmatt]

DM - you seem to know about these things... were they all hand painted then, hence no 2 the same?
