Just got my first Jackson strat

[Jackson/Charvelfan]

Well at least some of it.
Usual Ebay story out bid on the org. neck plate and the OFR at the last min while I was busy with my son.
Well needed a new project.

Well still on the hunt for a good used OFR and the neck plate.
I will try the pickups and see if I like them otherwise it will be time to install another set of EMG's.
Is the bolt pattern standard fender so I can use a blank plate for now?
Is there any shop I can go get the headsock repainted that can match this correct Logo or mabe pearl would look better?

Here is the body.

Cool =)

What's that black foamy stuff around the trem & control routes?

[Jackson/Charvelfan]

Hey delt,
Dont know.
Maybe black paint or black ink.
I will post some picks in a week when it gets here.
For now I am waiting on the UPS man.

More picks of the body from the seller.
I hope to have the body and neck soon.

Still on the hunt for a OFR and a Neck Plate.

Not a bad price for an Ontario strat body and neck... it's not a San Dimas btw.
You're also gonna need new trem studs and inserts. Something to think about when looking for the Floyd.
The neck looks like it could use some TLC as well.

Hi rjohnstone,
Yes I am aware that it is not a "San Dimas".
It probly came with a San Dimas neck plate and that is why the seller listed it that way.
The headstock is what I want to get repainted.
I could do it myself but I would be happer with a pro job.
Could anyone recamend a good shop to paint a logo or or possibly a pearl
Here is the pearl one I found. http://www.gmwguitars.com/3_03_04/3_3_19.JPG

Here is the thread I found it in.
