The rarest Japanese-made Jackson? (Has anyone ever seen one?)

Have seen it once. Was for sale on Yahoo Japan in Jan 2019.
Only saved one picture I'm sorry.

Awesome - I saw that one too! I actually have one of these ones, pictured below. I reckon I've only seen the one you've seen and one other (referring to the TOM type), in the transparent denim-blue finish.

Have you measured the scale length and confirmed it to be 25.5”?

I have a regular AT Pro and 750XL.

I also have the infamous 2007ish? Sam Ash “SL2H” which is really a MIJ 25.5” arch top.

Hey Don, yep, it's 25.5"/648mm, as is the purple burst one with Schaller that I have.
Got any pics of the infamous Sam Ash model? Sounds intriguing!

No pics. Here is a link to google pics though.

They only came in two styles, a metallic black with EMG's or a blue maple flametop with Duncan '59 and JB. I have the blue one.

At first I didn't like these and ignored them, but then I found one at a Sam Ash in 2013 and picked it up. It turned into one of my favorites. Great for chunky metal. Real tight for a guitar with JB.

Mate that looks absolutely fantastic. Interesting to see it is 25.5" too, always assumed they were 24.75" like the AT Pro's / 750XLs

So this popped up on Ebay Australia today. They say it's a 1999 Grover Jackson Japan "Supreme Series" S-330 Neckthrough Soloist.

Maybe the year is wrong, but maybe this is the guitar Dr Evil said he has?

At first I thought, ooh, we have one of those Japan model soloists in Fender scale. Then I saw the back. Neck through!

Woah! This is the rarest Japanese Jackson model of all time! Never thought I would see one asides from in the Catalog. Super tempting, seems like a pretty fair price.

I hope someone snaps this up and does a decent video/audio recording with it. This is the only production model I've heard of that only has one known example, lol. I wonder how rare the Japanese aficionados think it is, being a JDM model.

This example, however, looks nowhere near as good as the purple one in the 1999 GJ catalogue. I suppose it could always be resprayed.
