Need help with Jackson Pro

[Lohengrin]

Hey guys!

Does anyone know the current value of an old Jackson Professional Archtop Soloist like this one?

These are the ones that were made by Itaru, right?

Thanks!

Seeing how clean Charvel 750 XL's have sold for well over US$1000 lately, I would expect the Jackson Soloist Archtop to fetch at least the same. They are worth it. If eBay is to be trusted, the last two 750 XL's sold for US$1500 each! The Jackson Soloist Archtop is the successor of the Charvel 750 XL.

I wouldn't word it that simple. The models were designed by Jackson Charvel and made to their specifications at the Chushin Gakki plant while Kanno was working there. But his magic undoubtedly played a role.

Hi Henrik! Welcome aboard. Maybe you want to say hello too in the "I'm new here" forum so everyone can welcome you.

Thank you very much for the info. I was looking for a mid-range superstrat to use live instead of my Iris Violet (since I am too worried about hitting it on stage) and suddenly came across one of these. I was actually surfing -again- your web site to check if it was one of the "pro" pros or one of the "std" pros and found it is the one I linked. Looks like it is a fine instrument, so I'll probably go for it.

And thank you too for explaining Itaru's implication in depth.
