Modified Jacksons
I regularly get emails asking if I know if such and such guitar is modified. I decided to post a list of USA 80's Jackson Soloists I know are modified enough from stock that they cannot ever be put back to 100%. This means hardware is changed that is retrofit is not included here. These are refins and structurally modified instruments. I will update the list as I see more.
J0185- Rear single (was TITE) modded to humbucker
J0303- Was a single hum, two pickups and switches added
J0334- Steve Vai's "Ike Turner" pink guitar. String retainer added as well as other mods.
J0380- Pro refinish
J0419- Paint Stripped and neck pickup converted to humbucker
J0440- Was platinum pink, refinished to a gear graphic. I owned this guitar before the job was done and it was the cleanest original example in pink I have ever seen. It is a shame it was hacked.
J0474- Refinished in the early 90's into a space graphic. This is an original Floyd guitar
J0632 (actually stamped RR0632)- Totally refinished back to stock graphic by GMW.

J1975- Professional refinish in Frankenstein graphic and tremolo conversion to Floyd Rose by GMW
