crunchee Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Nice Jackson, Jackson (yeah, ancient slang, but it fits)! Congrats! Skip the Spandex, go straight to the Zubaz website, they're roomier with more 'give' (no affiliation, BTW): https://zubaz.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnZ Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 If this is a mlcp I have been there in my mid 40s 😞 I still have a Jackson Fusion - spandex snake skin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of the "Bikini Beach" Fusions, and I will never sell it, even if it looks like it was airbrushed by a horny eighth grader with questionable artistic skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Rockin’ a Jackson!! No Problem!! They are great guitars and for a while kinda fell out of favor for other booteek offerings. Great guitars just the same!! Nice Score!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Neck-through, reverse headstock, and a double-hum configuration for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I submit that for a lot of us pretty much all guitar purchases at this point are "mid-life crisis purchases." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarGuy65 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Love it! I dig Jacksons, and have had one in my collection since the mid-80's. I've got 2 now, a 1993 Japanese JTX that is one of the best guitars I've ever owned (especially banng-for-the buck) and a 2011 (first year) USA Adrian Smith model since I LOVE strat-head Jacksons:   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is badass looking!!! That's damn close to win in my book. Moving the volume knob a bit back towards the tail end, a proper toggle switch and a recessed floating Floyd would make it a win. Curious- is that a custom order or limited run order? While by no means am I anything of an authority on Jacksons, I have watched to see what they were putting out but I don't remember seeing this model in the last 5 or so years. They had a SL model years ago that had the non-recessed trem but the volume knob was further out of the way and don't think it was a reversed head stock. Might have been a limited run or a select series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is stupid CLEAN for an '88!! 😲 That would explain why I hadn't seen anything like it in the production or limited edition runs. WOW!!!!

Drew816 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Very cool. I've owned several over the years, #0357 (Black 2 Hum/Kahler Soloist) and the one really regret selling was a Tele neck-through in the 21xx range. The necks on these always do me in, too thin at the 1st but that Tele was slightly fatter, H/S/S but it was heavy. At the time I thought "...ah, there will be others..." And well, that was what 13-15 years ago?! I owned two Jackson Stratheads over time, one wood-burn and the other Jackson logoed (Charvel neck) that was a parts guitar. Also a slightly fatter neck, again, same idiotic mistake! I still have my Charvel Strathead though with the original EVH neck profile (fatter than normal Charvel and 1 5/8th nut). Rock on, just no pics of you in your spandex while playing please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
