![]() Rumors were that these guitars were cutting into the sales of the USA series due to their popularity. This was especially true for the guitars that were labelled as "Pro" (not to be confused by the series' name "Professional"). The Japanese luthiers were taught by their US counterparts on how to make the Jackson Profesional Series and were so good at their job that the Japanese Professional Series guitars were known as being just as good as the Jackson USA series. So in 1990 the Charvel / Jackson company introduced the "USA series" and the Japanese "Professional Series" which had a forerunner in the Charvel Professional Series. Up until 1989, all Jackson guitars were Custom Shop guitars that were built in the USA. The Jackson Professional Series started as a way to offer Jackson production models. But I remember that guitar very clearly, especially since I've been collecting some information on the Jackson Professional Series. I don't know wether my teacher had a USA or an import Jackson. The heel was so smooth because of the neck-through construction. It looked uber modern and had the pointy headstock and all. Back in the day (we're talking the nineties) my guitar teacher used to have a red Jackson guitar. ![]()
