It's not the first guitar Jackson made because Randy Rhodes played Jackson in 1981 or 82

[@karicdarko]

For a big jackson fan this is best video ever.thank you

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

I had to do this video for you guys!

Realy realy cool,i always thought that the concord was first,but i was wrong

@@EssexRecordingStudios Who's collection?

[@auntacid55]

@@EssexRecordingStudios When I saw Jay Reynolds with this guitar in KERRANG! magazine in 1985, I had to have one! Called Jackson, went through the process and 6 months later my "Pointy V" arrived! J0617.

[@incognitoguitars9999]

Thank you SO much for all of these!

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

Hey no problem man!

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

This made my day as a Jackson fan. To think that this is the guitar to start it all. 😍

[@fpgrind]

It's actually just the first serialized Jackson. Randy Rhoads models were the first, and where it all began.

[@wretchedrider2157]

Very cool history lesson, there! I can see where my KXK Warrior V came from, here!

[@ranius7388]

nice! didn't know the first FR had bent saddles ... wish it was available today as well

[@patrickshannon4516]

It wasn't the first Floyd Rose the first one came over in 1979 it was created for a man by the name of Eddie Van Halen.

[@chriskrueger1865]

That definitely looks like a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard too. Thank you for sharing

[@DM-jf7pt]

What an amazing find, insane to see how far the Jackson brand has come over the years, massive Jackson fan , wish I'd never let mine go

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

Thanks man! It is wild to see and learn about the true stories and individuals who influenced the style and design of the brand.

[@DM-jf7pt]

@@EssexRecordingStudios I can only imagine, I never really thought about the first ever made of any guitar brand and how much they change until seeing this, awesome work as always 🤘

[@visionboxed]

its crazy even to see this guitar. very nice!

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

Yeah man it was crazy for me too!

[@visionboxed]

@@EssexRecordingStudios what do you think is this guitar worth?

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

It's really hard to say because we have obviously seen the crazy number Fender number 1 serial just sold for at Christie's, but there was a major artist as the current owner and selling for charity which always brings in silly money. Fender has more mass market appeal than Jackson and Jackson currently does not have any major mega stars on their roster. The popularity of metal and rock is on the decline as are guitar sales in general....but the popularity of rare vintage instruments is on the rise.

[@samueljorge3171]

I just a saw a remake of this guitar today at the Jackson booth at namm

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

Wow I need to see pics of that!

[@marksanders1962]

great content...amazing to see Number 1...!

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

Glad you liked it!

[@Im_AMA_]

thats a piece of history right there!

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

It sure is! Jackson actually made a copy of it after I did this video!

[@scottpeters4401]

Wow!!!That is so cool!!Thank You...I love Jackson guitars...you don’t see this everyday..

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

No problem Scott...its something most people will never get to see, but now at least there is modern recent video documentation of the guitar :)

[@scottpeters4401]

Essex Recording Studios I started playing in 85,and my first real guitar was a Jackson....I didn’t know this one existed,I always thought the Rhodes was the first Jackson from the early 80’s.....very cool example of Grover’s work back then.....I can’t begin to imagine the price tag this thing would command...

[@jswazz9264]

Very cool informative video!

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

Thanks man! I'm really happy I could do this video

[@jamesbond6365]

This is not the first serialized Jackson. This is serial number 1 of the J series serial numbers. The First serialized Jackson was RR0000 which was given to Randy’s mom. Also, at 2:36, that prototype was Not for Randy. His 4 prototypes were already completed by the time that one was made. That guitar went to Gary Phil from Sammy Hagar’s band.

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

Where'd you get the data on the sequencing of the prototypes?

[@b.cguitarcovers2347]

Really cool man, but that volume knob sure is in a bad spot tho

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

There has definitely been an evolution of knob placement from 1983 to now. Just a wild piece of history dude

[@b.cguitarcovers2347]

@@EssexRecordingStudios yup fore sure man, its a mean axe man🤘

[@sergiocahuana3753]

Yeah! Tremenda guitarra, el inicio de una gran serie!

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

Thanks dude!

[@scottaic7064]

Historic Jackson for sure - AND the two Vergat V's! Nice video. Just a side note, the Robbin Crosby reference isn't correct - he had nothing to do with this one other than maybe seeing it in the San Dimas shop and wanting something similar (or was that the Dave Linsk DR?). If Mr. Witte says differently I'll believe him, but I don't think RC is connected to that guitar at all. Cool stuff for sure!

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

It was a lot of info for me to take in and remember on this whole collection but yes from what I remember earlier today he did in fact have this guitar and then sold it to the guy that sold it to it's current owner. Video of the Dave Linsk guitar (Double Rhoads) coming as well ;)

[@auntacid55]

Jay Reynolds himself told me that he received the guitar from Robbin Crosby.

[@wretchedrider2157]

Gotta be a refinish, no? King Crosby was pretty rough on his axes, from what I've heard. But if it was only with him a short time or he didn't tour it, that's cool that it survived the 80s so well!

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

Original finish!

I thought only strat shaped bodies started with J , I had j0895 and a RR1 serial number R0441

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

All non-Randy Rhoads models had J serial numbers in the San Dimas era. There is one Double Rhoads model with a J serial number as well. More videos coming soon with a lot more info

@@EssexRecordingStudios Ohh ok i can handle that!

[@scottdunn2178]

Delores Rhoads and Grover Jackson had an agreement when the Randy Rhoads was first available to the public in 1983... to give $100 from every Randy Rhoads Student or Custom to the Musonia School of Music. I don't know the details, or how long this arrangement lasted... but it's a cool bit of trivia from the early Jackson days.
