Jackson "American" This was the second custom Jackson I had made at the San Dimas factory while I was in Rough Cutt. It was used to record all my guitar parts on the debut album by Rough Cutt… It sounds amazing! For the paint design, I copied the skull logo off a Clash t-shirt, and the rest of the graphics were taken from WWII Flying Tiger’s P-40 fighter planes. What is really unique about this guitar (serial # J0275) is that it is a neck through body full sized Strat body (not dinky) with minimal contouring on the body (the top, back & sides are mostly flat) I think they only made a couple of these from what I remember during that time at San Dimas… This is also the oldest Jackson I still own (made around 1984-85) & the headstock actually broke off when my friend, Rough Cutt Bassist Matt Thorne knocked it over by accident while it was on a guitar stand. Matt felt real bad haha but Jackson put a new headstock on, and to my surprise it sounded even better! I have never had a problem since with this guitar… Also, the tremolo springs actually made a weird sound while I was recording Rough Cutt’s “Black Widow”. If you listen closely between the staccato verse chords you can hear the droning sound… Tech Specifications
