Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 HH FR MN Gloss Black
Product information "Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 HH FR MN Gloss Black"
In Ensenada, where it all began, Jackson builds the guitars of the Pro Origin series. The series brings back the San Dimas style that inspired a whole generation of guitar heroes to push stylistic boundaries. The pickups are made to the original recipe from Jackson's early days in Southern California and produce the legendary sound that made Jackson a driving force in the metal scene.
The resonant alder body delivers a balanced, snappy tone with plenty of warmth, long sustain and clarity that sits cleanly in the mix. Each maple neck is carefully stained to achieve the noble amber colour of aged wood. The playability is outstanding – fast, low-friction and precise. Your fingers will practically fly over the frets! The fretboard has a 12" - 16" compound radius, is made of maple and features large black dot inlays; the Floyd Rose 1000 Series Double Locking Tremolo is mounted on the body (Top-mounted). With their appointments the new models are faithful to Jackson's 'old' classics and offer exactly what metalheads and virtuosos want. Can you already feel the creative spirit of those days when Jackson conquered the Los Angeles scene?

Jackson Guitars arose from Grover Jackson's takeover of the well-known company Charvel's Guitar Repair in 1978. The collaboration with then Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1980 resulted in the Rhoads body shape still available today and also marked the start of Jackson Guitars. The timing was perfect: heavy metal enjoyed a heyday in the 1980s and the trend (sparked by Eddie Van Halen) was for so-called super- or powerstrats. These are guitars that are visually more or less based on the classic ST shape but fitted with more modern and stylistically appropriate components like humbuckers or Floyd Rose tremolos. Jackson soon earned a reputation as a forge of first-class, USA-built high-end custom instruments, seen in the hands of many well-known guitarists of the era. With the musical changes of the 1990s, Jackson Guitars began opening factories in the Far East to offer their instruments in more affordable price ranges. Since 2002 both Jackson and Charvel have been part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
