Jackson logo

[Lemures]

Hey guys, were there ever any USA made's without it saying MADE IN USA on the headstock?

Thanks

[RacerX]

Sure.

Yes, most of the Jackson in 1989 had smaller logo and no Made in USA text.

Here's mine:

I have a few San Dimas Jacksons with hand painted logos...without "Made In USA". I have also seen a few SDJ's with standard logos without the "Made In USA".

They seem to be very inconsistent with their branding and other methods of ID.

I have custom shop guitars without "custom shop" on the headstock etc.....

Hey Mark! Nice to see you here on JCF too

[Spivonious]

Back in the day, Jacksons were only made in the US, so why put it on the headstock?

Great answers so far. It is true that in 1989 especially, the "Made in USA" was sometimes left off. Also, many of the Archtop Soloists with mop logoes didn't have it either.

You can specify whether you want the words "custom shop" on there or not. Some people don't want it.

Sometimes you get it even when you specify that you don't want it.

[toejam]

I'm sure you do.

My custom shop 007 Soloist does says Made In USA but does not have Custom Shop on it. Also, even some more recent guitars don't say Made In USA on them including my cracked mirror Rhoads.

Why would you NOT want the Custom Shop logo? I got it on the WarAngel. I specifically requested it just in case, because at that time it was "sometimes they do it automatically, sometimes they don't", so I played it safe.

I've said this before, but since it's being discussed, here are my two cents:

I think Jackson NEEDS a custom shop logo. If I were getting a JCS, I would want it clearly identified as such, but not in the lame way they generally do it.

The script font they use, and putting it on two lines like they do looks very sloppy and amateurish to me. Fender has a nice Custom Shop logo, IMO. Jackson needs one, too. I think they should do a woodburn of Jackson Custom Shop on the back of the headstock. Nicer than a decal, tougher to duplicate, and hearkens back to a part of its history.

...and hearkens back to a part of its history.

:think: huh?
When did they ever do that?
Jackson has never done that short of the wood burn logo on the heel of replacement necks.
