Walnut Jackson PC1 Phil Collen SSS - opinions?

[IntenseJim]

Curious what you all think ?
Personally i would like it sans the extra switches for the Fernandez unit.
And no two—eh—make that three color Floyd bridge.
Price is a bit exorbitant.

The config is interesting and I’d like to hear the bridge pickup
Walnut is of no tonal benefit, and I’m of the same opinion on the floyd mods
A standard model without those appointments, reasonably priced, would get my attention

I always wanted a Phil Collen guitar but the prices are ridiculous IMO. I don't get it. I know Def Leppard is still around but it is crazy that those guitars can sell for that much.

I’ve got the Sugar Chakra pickup. Sounds like a Super 3 with a little less output and a little more bass. Closer to a Super Distortion than the Super 3. Still a great option for a single-coil package humbucker.

It is a limited edition collector's model, that's all you need to explain the price.

As for the guitar itself, I've seen some that look absolutely amazing but I've also seen some really meh tops on them. It's a Jackson custom shop so quality should be excellent. As for the floyd mods and that stuff, it's what Phil has been using for a while so no surprise they're on there.
