Jackson Guitars Made In Japan Serial Numbers

Thanks to the marketing people at Jackson, there has always been a lot of confusion regarding the Japanese Jackson guitars labeled Professional or Pro. Sometimes Pro is short for Professional and sometimes it's not! And what are the differences anyway?

The Golden Years of Jackson import guitars The Japanese Jackson Pro models introduced in 1990 and terminated in 1995, are some of the best imports ever to be released under the Jackson brand. Notice I said Pro models. The Professional series continued until 1999. Audiozone.dk It is quite useful to know exactly which guitars we're talking about here, so you can spot the Pro's in the crowd. Everywhere you look, be it on eBay or Internet forums, the mixup between 'Professional' and 'Pro' is present and almost the norm.

My interpretation The label Professional denotes a series of guitars. The most expensive guitars from this series are called Pro's. They have expensive and sound-enhancing features like quartersawn necks, bound ebony fingerboards and German made Schaller tremolos (if not a string-thru). When Jackson introduced this series of guitars in 1990, there were only Pro models. Every guitar from the Professional series were Pro’s. They all had these expensive features. They were all priced well above the $1000 mark.

That is my take on it. Root cause of the confusion - the 1990 Index Jackson's presentation on the other hand, was a bit more blurry and later caused a widespread confusion about the labels Pro and Professional - a confusion that still exist today. Take a look at this catalog index from the introduction in 1990: Index of the 1990 catalogue. According to Jackson, the 'Pro series' consists of 8 guitars. Apparently, only 4 of the 8 models are Pro's. But they all carry the same expensive features described earlier.

So what are the differences between them, Jackson? A better 1990 Index I have made my own (photoshopped) 1990 Index to show you how I think it should have been. It makes a lot more sense to me this way, especially when you look at what happened the following years, when the series expanded: Notice how the headliner in red is changed - the series should have been called (and spelled out): Professional and all the model names should have been followed by the label Pro. Photoshopped 1990 Index! Cheaper models benefits from the Pro label What happened later in history, was that Jackson included more guitars under the label Professional series - guitars that did not have the expensive features of the Pro's. They were named Std or EX, to name a few.
