Re: Whoa! Jackson 30th Anniversary Soloist
Have you checked out a Charvel Model 4? Basically the same thing and won't cost a million-bazillion dollars
This is what Jackson says about it:
New for 2014, Jackson commemorates 30 years of sonic mayhem with the 30th Anniversary Soloist. This master-built limited-run homage to the godfather of high-performance guitars is the perfect combination of past and present, with features that evoke the Soloist’s debut year of 1984 and contemporary Jackson design elements.
Hand-built by longtime Jackson Master Builder Mike Shannon, the 30th Anniversary Soloist is armed with a poplar body and a three-piece quartersawn through-body maple neck with original-era “old skool” neck joint. Other fearsome features include a compound-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 frets and mother-of-pearl inlays, EMG® SA1 active single-coil neck and middle pickups, EMG® 81 active humbucking bridge pickup, three mini pickup-selector switches, top-mounted vintage-style “1984” Floyd Rose® bridge and more. Available in original Gloss Black, Ivory, Ferrari Red, Pink and Yellow finishes, and includes commemorative 30th Anniversary Soloist hard-shell case.
Body Material: Poplar
Pickups: EMG 81 (Bridge), EMG SA1 (Middle/Neck)
Neck Material: 3-Piece Quartersawn Maple
Neck Joint: “Old Skool” Thru-Neck
Bridge: Floyd Rose® Vintage 1984 Bridge
I'd love one of these. Its my ideal soloist, HSS with a couple of interesting switching options, floyd and shark inlays, I don't even mind the active pickups. Too bad its probably gonna cost a million-bazillion dollars and they're probably only going to make 1984 examples cause that's what they normally do during anniversaries.
