Incredible 80s shred guitar that was made in Japan. It has a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates as the bridge humbucker, the original Jackson pickup in the middle, and an unidentified neck pickup which sounds awesome. I set it up with brand new Elixir polymer-coated strings (9-42) with ultralow action for lead playing. If it’s not to your taste, you can raise the action easily with a hex wrench on the bridge pegs.

This guitar is gorgeous — in excellent condition. There is only one blemish which is not so noticeable: a minor dent on the front, roughly 5 mm in size (please see last photo). The neck is straight, and it plays very well. The frets have some expected wear and age, but I didn’t notice anything remarkable when I played it. Includes whammy bar arm (sorry, I forgot to include it in the photos).

Includes a new strap that says “HARD OFF” on it. I will ship the guitar packaged carefully in a sturdy guitar case, for safety. This case should be considered simply as a tool for safe shipping (as a free gift).


I made a low-quality video to demo the guitar. Please check the link if you're interested.
