Help me identify some old Jackson pickups.

[Ben Johnson]

I posted this thread on Jackson Guitar Palace a while ago, but I'd like some second opinions.

Here are the fronts if that helps at all,

and the backs.

I'm wondering if the top one is a J-50BC, because the sticker seems to have a tiny sliver of another letter on it. Also, the DC is slightly higher than the bottom (10.8 vs 10.2). However, the insides appear to be the same on each, and I'm not 100% sure as to what a ceramic looks like vs an alnico.
They came from this MIJ Rhoads Pro (SN J001578), which now has EMGs.

Most likely a J-50B and a J-50 just like the labels say. J-50 was a neck pu and the J-50B is the corresponding bridge version.... absolutely normal for a setup like that to be shipped out.

Lemme guess: you want to put it in the ripoff that I didn´t see off to the right?

Nope. And have you ever played an SV, or any ESP for that matter? It's an incredible guitar. I find this constant Jackson/ESP battle hilarious, by the way. Why do people feel like they need to take sides and bash the "other guys" when their criticism has no ground?

I was a dealer for 15 years, thank you. I said nothing about the quality, nor have I ever done so. Instead you decided to get a burr up your ass about a comment that was obviously intended in jest.

For christ´s fucking sake you yourself said "Don't mind the ESP in the back" and I purposely played on exactly that so that even the most stupid reader would realize the intent immediately.

....Why do people feel like they need to take sides and bash the "other guys" when their criticism has no ground?

For the record, the Jackson Rhoads was introduced YEARS before the SV, and the SV only came into existence after ESP was sued for trademark infringement on both the headstock and the body shape. Where do you see "no Ground" for the description of "ripoff", Ms. Keller?

Either way, you´ve got your info. Now all you have to do is get over yourself.

[Ben Johnson]

Jeez. I'm sorry, but I've run into countless ridiculous "ESP sucks/Jackson sucks" arguments, and I'm tired of it. But thanks for the info and insults.

I agree that the Ms. keller comment was uncalled for. But as you may have noticed, I don´t take lightly to total strangers asking for advice and then insinuating BS when it´s unwarranted, especially when they try to back it up with more BS.

Even more so when it amounts to putting words into my mouth or assuming to know who I am and what I do better than I myself do.

Next time, next thread

Hi Ben Johnson (if that IS your real name )
