  • 1988 5 digit serial numbers?

    Does anyone know about the 5 digit serial numbers, I saw one on a USA "custom" strat type model. No address on the neckplate at all, just the Jackson logo and a 5 digit number.

    Did it start with 88xxx by any chance?

      Yes, it's a "Custom 1988 model"

      (I don't know what the really means though)

        The LTD '88 models were the first "anniversary" guitars by Jackson. Some argue they were leftover 12 string bodies because of the dished out recess at the butt. Killer guitars, killer finishes, killer playability and tone. And yes, they were all serialized with 88 then the 3 digit series number. I have 88232.

        Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
        Waitin' for the sun to appear..."

          "left over bodies" ... is that why they seem to be relatively inexpensive compared to other USA, especially a "custom shop" Jackson?

            Well, they are true Customs, but the JT-6 and active Jackson circuit scares some people off. I always thought they were cool, real Strat body, 24 frets with scalloping, and reverse headstock.

              The one I saw is 22 frets with a regular headstock.

              :o

                Then it's not a Jackson LTD '88. This is...
                I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
