Jackson Custom Shop USA Signature Limited Edition Phil Collen PC1 Claro Walnut

Music Store Live is proud to offer up the finest example of what Jackson's Custom Shop department is capable of. This guitar was stunning and impressive right out of the box.

Often times signature guitars for artists will be so specific and so peculiar that really only the artist and die-hard fans and collectors have any interest in the guitar. This is not one of those guitars. This is a guitar that anybody can pick up and immediately feel comfortable with it. The electronics offer some complexity in the sustainer but they are not hard to figure out at all. Beautiful aesthetics and a truly immaculate construction help make this an exemplary instrument. Of course, this level of perfection does come at a high price, but you're paying for so much more than just what you see on this guitar. Only Jackson's most expert and masterful luthiers work in their custom shop and you can feel the level of precision with every note and on every fret. The beautifully flamed claro walnut top, roasted mahogany back, silky smooth and lightning fast roasted maple neck, and the combo of the DiMarzio pickups and the sustainer really make this beauty the complete package.

When looks, tone, and construction all converge harmoniously to create a truly special instrument, it's worth taking note of. This is one of those axes.

Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen and Jackson have enjoyed an alliance that has spanned more than three decades now. Collen’s PC1 Dinky was one of the original Jackson signature instruments and continues to stand out in modern times with its staple exotic woods and unique Jackson Sustainer/Driver.

His newest incarnation — the USA Signature Limited Edition Phil Collen PC1™ Claro Walnut model — boasts premium features including a caramelized mahogany body with an exquisite claro walnut top and bolt-on two-piece quartersawn caramelized flame maple neck with graphite reinforcement, scarf joint, hand-rubbed urethane finish on the back and a convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. Designed for speedy playability, the 12”-16” compound radius caramelized maple fingerboard features comfortably rolled edges and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets.

The S/S/S configuration features a custom DiMarzio® DP427 bridge pickup and custom DiMarzio Fast Track 1™ middle pickup for thick, boosted tones with big lows and fat highs and a PC1 Sustainer Driver neck pickup for infinite sustain. This standout axe is also equipped with five-way blade switching, dome-style volume, tone and intensity control knobs and Floyd Rose® Original double-locking tremolo bridge system with titanium saddles and Jackson® sealed die-cast tuners.

Dressed in a Natural finish, the PC1 Claro Walnut also features satin gold hardware and a licensed Fender® Stratocaster® headstock.
