Up for sale, a 2001 Jackson Stars Soloist Archtop NASL-75S in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hangtags. This exceedingly rare model is a Japanese domestic market offering virtually unseen outside of its country of origin, and the Jackson Stars instruments are the direct descendants of the Grover Jackson line, expertly crafted at the Chu Shin factory. Features include a pair of EMG pickups, neck-through construction, an arched top, contoured neck heel, and sleek gloss Black finish with blacked out hardware.

Featherweight at 6lbs 14oz, tonewoods include maple neck-through construction with poplar body wings and a dark rosewood fingerboard. The active EMG pickup pair includes an 81 humbucker in the neck position and 85 humbucker at the bridge. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the EMG 81 was engineered so that lead work will slice through even the densest mix, and the Alnico V magnet EMG 85 delivers optimal note detail with incredible high end cut and smooth, fluid sustain. This Jackson Stars Soloist Archtop NASL-75S has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
