I've had a couple of PC1s through the years but for whatever reason, never really bonded with them. I had a 2008 or so in Mocha which had sustainer issues and just sounded shitty to me, and then I got an early koa body in Chlorine which I liked a lot more, but had too good an offer to justify keeping. But then I saw Brooks had listed one of his, with what is pretty much my ideal top (I'm a sucker for that wide quilt!) and I decided to dip my toes back in the silly electronics / massive neck guitar pond!

We talked out a price and fortunately a joint friend was calling to visit him, so I got to save some shipping costs. There's not much else to say, it's 'just' an early 2 knob PC1, probably koa, but definitely a quilt board. Neither Brooks, Vik or myself are 100% on the koa, but if I had to bet, I'd say it is - there's just too much going on for mahogany. It's in awesome shape for a guitar which is 17 years old (according to the serial listing on the Jackson site).

Anyway, here's some pics - not ragging on Jackson here, but they just don't seem to come with tops this nice any more:



And just a cheeky one with my 2011 custom-sorta-PC1:



Big thanks to Brooks and Vik for getting this to me!
