And here we have another cool Jackson from the lesser known japanese market, it´s the Archtop Soloist from 1991. At this point they were thinning out the top of the japanese lines in the US and Europe, for example I think the export Archtop Soloist Pro was gone by 1992, but in Japan they kept the whole thing going under the Grover Jackson or Jackson Stars monikers thru the 90s and 00s. I needed this one about as much as a hole in the head, but I´m a sucker for Jacksons and always have been.
It´s a dark transparent purple on a fairly thick maple top, you can see the figuring in the recess for the Floyd as well. Not a ton of figuring, but some proper depth on what´s there. Mahogany body and neck, ebony board.
It has the same larger heel as the 750XL or the earlier 80s Soloists, so I wonder if this is set-in like the 750 or has the more typical neckthru build.
