That guitar he is holding is a bolt on neck so its not a soloist.

I have no idae about scalloping, but I read an interview with him somewhere and he said Jackson were making him a guitar with no radius to the fret board at all.....

Wasnt it an orange one....???

Rowans Jackson strat w/the Spiderman on a womens ass graphic is completely scalloped,afaik this white strat is partially scalloped!!

D'oh, i see the bolt on now in the picture. Not a Soloist, a Dinky Custom.

When i saw the pic it seemed like a 12-24 scallop to me too. The features of Rowans guitar in the pic seems very like the Doug Aldrich Grover Jackson: reverse head, hum-single, bolt on, 12-24 scallop and it was also introduced around 1991.

Thanks for the info. I'm really diggin' the Doug Aldrich 'config' and i just can't stop thinking about how i'm going to get one or build one. I guess i'll never get 10 JCF'ers onto the idea of doing a DA limited run hmmm... GAS....

One of the members here is selling one (Aldrich) with a USA neck on it...

[jackson1]

Are you referring to Joe's DA body/Dinky USA neck that was sold on eBay just 1 or 2 weeks ago? I know about that one.

[charvel750]

That's the one, but it didn't "sell" since the zero feedback "winner" didn't pay! PM me for the link, or search the bay, it's a killer guitar and all the more better with that USA Dinky neck...

[jackson1]

Thanks for letting me know, i didn't know it didn't sell.

But no thanks; the missing 12-24 shallow scalloped rev. head neck is important to me and the body has been drilled for a hum pickup ring, i'm sorry to see.

I have that pickup style (hum-slant single) in a pair of Charvel Deluxe Fusions. I like it a lot. I think the Predator and 3DR's used it as well. I'd just have to find a reverse headstock 24 fret neck to make a similar axe.

Here's a short story about Rowan's scalloped guitar.

Thanks a lot for the heads up, blyndcyde! I came across that a couple of years ago but had totally forgotten it.
Welcome dude!

Harry Cody (shotgun messiah)had a model 88 mahogony body with a no radius maple neck that Grover made for him.It was on ebay some time ago.Does anyone here know where it ened up?

[mayzan]

I think Rowan's was scalloped

Stray Cat, Jackson Harry Cody is now mine.. it's scalloped. Neck designed by Grover for Harry Cody, Rowan & Doug Aldrich.
