The Jackson Phil Collen Pro is a signature guitar for Phil Collen from Def Leppard designed by Grover Jackson. This guitar features a string-through-body hardtail tunomatic bridge. The Jackson Soloist Archtop Pro is the same guitar as the Jackson Soloist Archtop Trem Pro but without the Jackson JT-590 tremolo. This guitar was featured in the catalogs from 1990 -1992. This guitar can be seen as the successor of the Charvel 750XL but with a slimmer body. It has scooped upper and lower horns and the pearl sharkfin inlays are reversed.

It also has the 24 3/4"inch scale and a mahogany body instead of poplar on the other neck-through guitars in the Professional Series. The Jackson Soloist Archtop Trem Pro features a 3/4"carved flame maple top and a set-neck construction. The Jackson Fusion Pro featured a shorter scale length of 24 3/4", an optional exotic flame maple front and back and the Jackson JE-1500 para-mid EQ tone circuits which is a mid tone sweep that's almost like having a wah built into your guitar. This guitar was featured in the catalogs from 1990 -1995. The Jackson Soloist Pro can be seen as the successor to the Charvel 650XL because they feature feature the same pickups and also the Jackson JE-1200 Active circuitry. The "Pro" and "XL" models all have a pearl Jackson logo on the headstock. These guitars have the word "Pro" on the truss rod covers except for first batch of guitars from 19. In this article the focus will be on the guitars in the Jackson Professional Series with the Pro label. The "Pro" guitars usually had neck-through construction, bound ebony fingerboards, quartersawn maple necks, sharkfin pearl inlays and a German made Schaller Floyd Rose tremolo ( Jackson JT-590) than the guitars with other labels (EX, Std, XL, LT) that were also part of the Professional series.Īll of the guitars in the Jackson Professional series were made in Japan at the Chushing Gakki factory between 19. Rumors were that these guitars were cutting into the sales of the USA series due to their popularity. This was especially true for the guitars that were labelled as "Pro" (not to be confused by the series' name "Professional").

The Japanese luthiers were taught by their US counterparts on how to make the Jackson Profesional Series and were so good at their job that the Japanese Professional Series guitars were known as being just as good as the Jackson USA series. So in 1990 the Charvel / Jackson company introduced the "USA series" and the Japanese "Professional Series" which had a forerunner in the Charvel Professional Series. Up until 1989, all Jackson guitars were Custom Shop guitars that were built in the USA.
The Jackson Professional Series started as a way to offer Jackson production models.
But I remember that guitar very clearly, especially since I've been collecting some information on the Jackson Professional Series. I don't know wether my teacher had a USA or an import Jackson. The heel was so smooth because of the neck-through construction. It looked uber modern and had the pointy headstock and all. Back in the day (we're talking the nineties) my guitar teacher used to have a red Jackson guitar.
