90s soloist

[straycat]

Had my hopes up that I was going to snag a 90s soloist 1 single 1 hum yellow sparkle body and headstock face, ebony board the whole deal right?
Well I give it the once over black binding cool nice MOP inlays paint was nice lots of sparkle.Schaller floyd top mount with the up-pull route cool.
The guitar plays like shit the frets looked like they had been hammered back down tons of glue on the fretboard chips in the fretboard file marks everywhere and a giant hump in the fretboard at the 12th fret.
Not a $1599.00 guitar not a $500.00 guitar IMO I told the guy that and no thanks.He said out the door $1450.00?I
kept on walking.
I guess I could put another $250 in a fingerboard level and new frets but for that price I just can't see it at $500.00 yeah I'd buy it.Sheez some dealers have their head up their ass.

Sounds like one abused puppy.
I would have walked too.

It has the looks thats for sure the black binding and black logo on the yellow sparkle just kicks ass.It still had the mid boost but the bridge pickup had been changed no big deal there I have a box full of Jackson pickups.
Some dolt put a five way switch in place of the 3 way but again not a big deal.I would have order it with a toggle not a slide but thats just me.
It just kills me they are letting it sit there and rot and don't want to fix it.Maybe the hump could be sanded down or steamed down but ebony likes to crack too easy.

Is a schaller Floyd usual on early 90's jacksons"

[straycat]

Yes They are just as good as an OFR some like them better.Made in Germany.

[Brooke]

Didn't know that

Mine has a schaller...

[straycat]

My 89 USA dinky has one too.

The OFRs are made by Schaller too. They're made in the same factory. I prefer the Shaller or Floyd Rose 2, as they call it.

Just look for the made in Germany stamp next to the bar.
