  • Jacson experts! What Jackson is this?

    Anyone know what model Jackson this is? I can't find one anywhere with a bold on neck, shark tooth inlays, and three way toggle. Even if it was slapped together, can't find a 3 way toggle body that's a bolt on with bolt in pickups, unless it's not a Jackson body, lol. I'm stumped.

    Looks like an SL-J1, but maybe a Custom Shop or mutt.

      SL would mean Soloist and that would have to be neck thru. Bolt on neck tells me its a Dinky. Maybe you could check the serial for production year and look at the archive catalogs on the Jackson website for corresponding year. Seeing the headstock could help too. Does it say anything else than Jackson? There were some Japanese market only models with different branding due to copyright reasons (Jackson Stars, Grover Jackson). The bridge could confirm if it's a Jackson body as the Jackson branded JT Floyds (based on yout pic it looks like a JT580LP to me) have a different shaped baseplate, so if the body is routed for that, its probably Jackson.

        Might be the angle but the body looks like an Ibanez S Prestige..but those don't have a toggle switch and the input jack is on the top of the body and I think the only ones I've seen with an ASH top are HSH.

        The HH and toggle switch configuration looks like this Jackson Pro Series Soloist but those have a neck-thru construction and that model does not have the shark tooth inlays.

        This Jackson Dinky looks close but doesn't have the toggle switch.

        Do you have picks of the whole guitar, headstock, back, etc.?

          It's crazy. Every time I thought I found what it was, SOMETHING was off. Also wondering if this was a black guitar and they sanded the paint off the face.

            How do you know it's bolt-on? I haven't seen a picture yet of the attachment point of the neck. Definitely looks modded to me, anyway. Don't think I've seen a 'plain top' Jackson like that with white pickups before.

              I zoomed in on the pic and you can see the separation between the neck and the body. I'm fairly certain anyway.

                I'm thinking it's a mutt: a Jackson neck on a 'Jackson-like' body. Few Jacksons I can find are direct mount, and the routes are more squared. That one looks kind of rounded on the routes, though none of the pictures are very clear for me. Also haven't seen a Jackson finish or hardware configuration just like that; whatever it is, it was at least modded with spare parts.

                  I agree, it's a mutt. I think I'm going to pass because who knows what kind of body it is. It's obviously not a JS11 which it's advertised to be and even if I don't use buy it now and nobody else bids, it would still be $465.00 with a gig bag for something I'm not sure what it is. I wish I could go play it and hear it because I love Super Distortions and love the whole look of the guitar. Gotta try and be smart though with money as tight as it is.
