    Amazing score, I must say. Congrats.

    I've only seen Japanese Aldrich models. Never a USA. Keep us all posted on it's progress.

        No, neck thru Customs have J or RR prefixes. Bolt-on customs are 4 numerics with no prefix.

          If J's are for neck-thru CSs then can someone explain how this 'custom shop' guitar w/o a neck plate got the serial# in question?

            These things happen - I've seen Rhoads with J serials, there's a star with an RR etc etc Jackson seems to be a prime example of 'the exception proves the rule'

              Well, now we know J's are for custom neck-thru AND custom bolt-ons w/o neck plates! My speculation...Obviously this is a custom piece and Jackson wanted to put in in their books as such. Since this didn't have a neck plate, and they didn't want this guitar confused with a neck plate one of the same number, they gave it a Jxxxx designation so they could log it somewhere.

              It was this or they could make a whole new custom numbering scheme for bolt-ons w/o plates, ...making this 0001, but that's be more confusing. I guess they do have that separate numbering system for archtops too, JAxxx, but now I am getting dizzy!

              Regardless, it's a damn fine guitar! Does anyone know if this guitar was made specifically for Aldrich or ordered by a fan?

                I have never seen pics with Aldrich playing or showcasing this guitar. And I've seen a lot. And I've never read any comments or stories indicating that he owned it. Aldrich stopped endorsing Jackson in late 1994. This guitar is a 95 Ontario, I suppose.

                Maybe Jackson made this guitar and sent it to Doug in a last desperate attempt to get him back in the fold
                .... nah.

                  I think it was ordered by Vivian Campbell and traded to Zaak Wylde for packs of half smoked marb lights.

                  Just my thoughts....

                    May I ask how the JT-590 project goes?
