1994 Grover Jackson Doug Aldrich Custom Psycho Green-Blue, Japan

$2,899.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1994 Grover Jackson Doug Aldrich Custom in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. An exceedingly rare Japanese domestic market model, the Grover Jackson instruments were the precursors to the Jackson Stars line, expertly crafted at the Chu Shin factory. This Superstrat, designed in collaboration with Whitesnake/Dio guitarist Doug Aldrich, boasts a number of, distinctive features including a shallow fretboard scallop at frets 12-24, limited body routing for maximum resonance, a gloss Psycho Green-Blue finish, reverse headstock with “shark teeth” design, contoured neck heel, and a Schaller Floyd Rose-licensed tremolo.

Via the mahogany body, this Doug Aldrich Custom has great natural midrange warmth and growl, qualities faithfully captured by the pickup pair. The bridge pickup has been replaced with a Seymour Duncan TB-5 Custom Trembucker, an overwound spin on a PAF-inspired design, yielding an unmistakable upper midrange attack with a tight, articulate low end and harmonically rich highs that really sing. The original Jackson S6-F single coil-sized humbucker in the neck position features a dual-rail blade pole design, and this pickup is big and broad, designed for high gain while retaining great articulation for absolutely massive chording. This Doug Aldrich Custom weighs 7lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
