Jackson

Description

As a longtime Jackson endorser (since 1986) and lead guitarist for one of the world’s biggest-selling rock bands, Def Leppard’s Phil Collen has deftly wrung numerous classic riffs from Jackson guitars. It’s impossible to imagine the ‘80s and ‘90s rock charts—or Jackson history—without him.

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 a Jackson Sustainer/Driver. In 2017, Collen’s revered USA signature models were refreshed to match his latest tastes and specifications. The USA Signature Phil Collen PC1 Satin electric guitar reflects this with premium features, including a caramelized mahogany body with 1/8" quilt maple top, bolt-on two-piece caramelized quartersawn flame maple neck with hand-rubbed urethane gel on the back and graphite reinforcement, 12"–16" compound radius caramelized flame maple fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets, convenient thumbwheel truss rod butt adjust and licensed Fender Stratocaster headstock.

Collen’s favored H/S/S configuration is also here, with a DiMarzio DP-152-F bridge pickup, DiMarzio HS-2 DP116 middle pickup and a PC1 Sustainer Driver as the neck pickup. Equipped with master volume, master tone and intensity control knobs, as well as a five-way blade switch to tweak and refine tone, a Floyd Rose Original tremolo with die-cast tuners and satin gold hardware.

The Phil Collen PC1 Satin includes a hardshell case.

    When I bought the guitar new in 2008, I was just amazed at how versatile this tone monster is. I ended up putting a bigger brass block and some 18K pickup bobbins on her. The PC1 not only plays amazing but looks wicked as well. The back of the neck and body are truly a thing to behold.

    Extremely well built guitar. Set up pretty close to my taste out of the box. 2nd Jackson and they never disappoint. Love the sustainer! Didn't think I would have much of a use for it but I was wrong. Opened up a whole new branch to my playing and creating! Very satisfied.
