  • 1992 RR1 - What type of stock Jackson pickups?

    Any idea?

    Are they any good?

    I haven't gotten the guitar yet (can't wait!)

    Let me know if you need any more info.

      These have a Jackson logo and black covers. No exposed coils, so I don't think it's a SD TB4.

        If they have the Jackson logos, they make pleasing cracking noises when they bounce off a wall when thrown with extreme force. That's about the only good sound to come out of them. Seriously, trash them and put something different in.

          I once had a 1992 Rhoads. The stock pickups were two Jackson J-50. But I don't know if that's valid for every Rhoads build this year.

            I don't know, but if the neck is a J50N, you'll love it! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] You'll have to pull them out and check the stickers on the back.

              Noodles - this is a guitar you played, the one I'm buying from Siggy. They really sound that bad?

              I have a slew of Metal pickups to throw in there if they don't sound too good.

                Well, I never got it up that loud, since he lives in an apartment. However, I have played tons of guitars with Jackson pickups, and they all sound thin to me. The only guitar I have with stock a stock pickup is my KE1, because it's a SD JB.

                  My 87 RR had 2 J50's. Key word.........."had". Too low output for my taste.

                    Thanks guys. I guess I'll find out for sure when it arrives. I'm kind of puzzled why Jackson decided to use these pickups on what seems to be obviously a metal guitar. You'd think they would throw in a Duncan Distortion or something.

                      Do you remember what kind of tone people had in the 80s? All the manufacturers were shipping guitars with limp dick pickups.

                        You got me. When I think 80's, I think of Metallica, Megadeth.

                        Last night I was watch some crap where people were at a 1987 reunion, and the band was playing boy george and other whimpy crap. In L.A., we had two radio stations. KNAC for the hard rockers, and KROQ for the "alternatives".

                        I was KNAC all the way.

                          Update:

                          I have the guitar now. The neck is a J80, and the bridge is a J90C. There is an active eletronic amp in the control section. No tone comes thru if no battery.

                          I think one tone pot is treble, and the other is bass.

                          Can anyone comment on this? Is it best to keep it original? It picks up hum a little more than my other guitars.

                          Thanks,

                          Don

                            I've had that setup on a couple of Model 5's. I found it best to rip all of that out, and just wire it up normally with the pickups of your choice.
