Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 HS FR Electric Guitar - Yellow Bengal

With its fierce looks and ferocious Seymour Duncan-powered tone, the Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 HS FR is an aggressive, high-performance tribute to the era that defined heavy metal. Wrapped in a bold Yellow Bengal finish, this limited-edition throwback channels the feral energy of Jackson’s early LA-era guitars while pairing it with modern upgrades for today’s high-speed players. The commanding growl of this machine is supplied by a high-output Seymour Duncan duo: a legendary JB bridge humbucker for iconic, searing crunch and a Hot Rails neck pickup that delivers fat, humbucking warmth in a single-coil footprint. Mounted to a resonant alder body and a graphite-reinforced maple neck, this pairing offers a massive tonal range from glass-cutting leads to thick, liquid sustain. Rounded out by a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo and classic San Dimas styling, the SD1 is a retro-fueled shred machine built for the modern stage.

Alder San Dimas Body for Classic Punch and Cutting Clarity

The San Dimas Style 1 alder body delivers the balanced tonal foundation that made Jackson guitars legendary in the ’80s. Alder provides focused lows, punchy mids and crisp highs that translate effortlessly through high-gain rigs while remaining articulate for cleaner passages. Familiar body contours keep the instrument comfortable during long sets, whether you’re locked into rhythm work or pushing into extended solos. Finished in a high-gloss Yellow Bengal treatment, the body pairs unmistakable visual aggression with a tonal character designed to slice through dense mixes.

Graphite-Reinforced Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard Built for Speed

The bolt-on maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods and constructed with a scarf joint for long-term stability under aggressive playing and changing conditions. A natural satin finish on the back keeps the feel fast and friction-free, encouraging effortless movement across the 25.5" scale length. The ebony fingerboard adds snap and clarity, supporting articulate attack, wide bends and precise legato phrasing across all 22 jumbo frets. Together, the neck and fingerboard create a playing surface engineered for speed, control and confident execution at any tempo.

Seymour Duncan HS Pickup Set for Versatile High-Output Tone

This limited-edition San Dimas SD1 is equipped with a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 humbucker in the bridge and a Hot Rails Strat pickup in the neck, delivering a wide tonal range rooted in classic hot-rodded tones. The JB provides aggressive mids, tight lows and cutting highs for saturated leads and driving rhythms, while the Hot Rails adds thick, muscular neck tones with enough clarity for solos and clean passages. A three-position blade switch with volume and tone controls makes it easy to shape tones on the fly without overcomplicating the signal path.

Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo for Expressive Control

A top-mounted Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo anchors the San Dimas SD1 with rock-solid tuning stability under the most demanding techniques. Dive bombs, flutters and wide vibrato remain precise and controlled thanks to the locking nut and sealed die-cast tuners. Black hardware and dome-style control knobs reinforce the guitar’s stripped-down, performance-first aesthetic, keeping the focus squarely on playability and reliability.

A Limited-Edition Jackson Built to Strike Hard

The Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 blends feral looks with uncompromising performance. Its alder body, reinforced maple neck, ebony fingerboard and Seymour Duncan pickups deliver the speed, punch and aggression that defined a generation of metal and hard rock. Visually bold and tonally ruthless, this limited-edition SD1 is a modern tribute to Jackson’s roots—built for players who want their guitar to hit as hard as they do.
