Alright! Much better. Guitar Center came through this time. Even though it was $250 more than the previous ($1199), it's basically mint other than some light swirling on the finish. One tiny ding along the bottom near the strap button. Almost no fret wear. And a small bonus: the top veneer is a little more interesting (has a little quilt to the flame).
One thing I immediately noticed is this guitar's "feel" seems a bit...less...something? The pots are way cheaper and feel lighter. The 2002 I had previously had heavy brass poles on the pots, and the knobs were weighty. These knobs feel cheap. The neck feels a tiny bit different as well, but that might just be because the other one was played to death and very worn in. I swear the previous one had more of a "U" shaped neck, but I could be imagining things. It didn't come with a booklet or anything so I don't know much else about it. Serial number is "U0 936 0" if that means anything to anyone. Maybe this was made at a later date than the old one?
I don't know what the pickups are but they don't look stock. Either way, much happier with this purchase. Glad to finally have a Jackson...been playing 15+ years and had never even tried one. A crime, I know.
