NGD! Gotta love those pawn shops!

Its pretty rare that I hit a pawn shop any more because I have more than my share of great high end guitars.

Plenty of PC1's as well as vintage Les Paul's keeps me pretty satisfied.

Finding say, yet another Squier is just a waste of time for me.

I did manage to hit on the other day on the way home and scored this MIJ Pro for $175.00

tI had an EMG 81 at the bridge and the wiring was a total disaster as well.

I sold the EMG to a buddy for $75.00 so the total score became exactly $100 for this Jackson.

I had a Brass Big Blocks in my parts drawer so I installed one of those too.

Installed a freshly potted J90C at the bridge and threw in all new pots, switch and jack as well.

God is that J90C a total screamer! Those pups measure in at over 16 ohms and just wail!

Strung up with a fresh set of 13-56 (tuned down 1/2 step) and this is one great shredder for sure!

Still needs to be tweaked some more and fine tune the intonation but its a keeper!

Nice!!

[Johnnyryche]

Nice score for $100. Helps to have those spare parts laying around too.

[DeathThrashAttack]

How the hell do you play down half a step with that heavy of strings, jesus.....

[vklobucar]

I have been using 13-56 for ages and metal picks as well.

Ya it's certainly a Phil Collen thing.

I can really dig in and shred better than say on 10's....

And I NEVER break a string!

All my guitars are strung with 13-56's and tuned down 1/2

The tone is miles better IMHO!

+1 on the J-90C damn good pick up!!

[jdr94]

Damn man that is an awesome find! Congrats

[kermitz]

Congrats and good score.

[Jaymzhulk]

nice score and the J90C is a great upgrade over the EMG

[vklobucar]

probably my all round fav humbucker!

I have one in my PC1 too

[S1I2F3]

That is a great pawn shop score for $100, well done sir

[RacerX]

I sold the EMG to a buddy for $75.00

I hoped you used some lube on your "buddy"!

[AdRock]

Very nice score. I have 2 of 'em and love the things.

[Force]

Outstanding, their loss is your gain.........& add heaps of gain too.

[vklobucar]

I not only sold it but also installed it for for him.....

[8400RPM]

Sweet score man! I have one of those myself, even the same color. J90C is a good choice over the stock pickup which isn't too shabby either. I thought I got a decent deal at $280 so $175 is killer.

[vklobucar]

It can't tell you how much a J90C just woke up a sleepy PC1 of mine!

I works so well with mahogany bodies and just makes that guitar jump out!
