"We thought you were a loser..."
I've had three Jacksons, one USA, two JPN. They're sweet!
yup love mine and not cheap but you get what you pay for
Garrett Baker I own a Jackson SL3 Made In Japan! 2007 Model, Floyd Rose 1000, payed 868 USD for it! Neck-Thru Body construction!
Grover, you are a good Man! East Tennessee can be heard loud and career. It has been a pleasure.
Mr Jackson : THANK YOU!
Very Cool. The next guitar I buy will be a GJ2.

05:20 Once you're addicted to the guitar business, you're in! You're in for life!
Amazing guitars!
Are you still in business??
Great story Grover - my family has ' Still ' written me off...and..that's ok with me. to the dreamers of dreams.
“Loser”is our generation parent’s statement.
My dad said that to me when I was 16 and wanted to play R&R. He said it in a hurtful way.
Only winners work 9-5 in a job that leaves them dead two years after retirement .
"I gotta have that guitar back "Dog". LOL
I have a couple of Dinky reverse models and a Kelly!
and the factory tour starts when ?
I’m really diggin the Hellhound
Peavey did the first cnc machine guitar production back in the day 👍👍👍
I remember like it was just yesterday playing my First Charvel Jackson in 1981. It was a Star body with a strat head neck.
It was a religious experience compared to the Fenders,Gibsons, Ibanez's i had been playing up that hat point.
Most do not Know/understand Wayne Charvel had nothing to do with those guitar's after 1980 that the Charvel shop made.Wayne was long gone and it was Grover as sole owner of the shop and the young guys he hired that created the Magic!
Amen!
I saw a GJ2 for sale recently for £299, used. But on the back of the headstock it had "designed by Grover Jackson", so sounded like it was an outsourced build. Were there different lines of GJ2?
Yes.
It's kinda hard to differentiate, but there was the GJ2 "Inspiration" series, which were outsourced (don't remember where).
I know one of the biggest giveaways to an import model is the headstock veneer. My USA Concorde 5 Star SE has a rosewood or possible ebony veneer inlaid on it. None of the imports have that, but I can't confirm if all the USA ones have that either.
I know mine is signed by Grover.
@@HelsinkirocksAGF Thanks!
GJ2 guitars are made in USA and Indonesia. Latter being cheaper.
If it states "designed by GJ in USA" , its made in Indonesia.
Otherwise it says clearly "made in USA".
Hi Grover! Believe it or not I have An SL-1 (love it!!) I'm haveing trouble checking the Serial # on it, from what I can tell it may have been made in San Dimas or maybe Ontario, do you possibly have a Manufacturing order on it? it's a keeper for me, handing down to my grandson It's a bolt on neck sn#9871645 . I would love to find it as one of your originals. Thanks Tom
🤘🏼
I'm trying to start my own company and I need a reliable source to manufacture some stuff. Too bad Grover wouldn't work with me?
Should still be making Jackson guitars, never sold it..
I agree they have never been the same under FMIC.(Fender) The Grover years were phenomenal!
@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 I've had a lot of custom shop Jackson my favorite though is the pc1 archtop neck through it's really cool like what Phil using the hysteria session I got a reverse headstock zigzag inlays of course Floyd Rose titanium saddles it's probably as good as you're going to get for what I paid for it 15 years ago I bet that guitar is eight grand now to make
I wonder if they are atoll in business? Their website appears not to be working
He's doing guitars at a different company now. Maybe Friedman. Have to look it up.
Still a lot of custom guitar work is hand done without machines.
Gj2 would have taken off if the name was changed on the headstock.
I dont believe him. No mother would speak to their child like that.
Damn I thought the dean Factory used a lot of machines but Jackson Factory has nothing but Machines
..machines build the whole fucking guitar...i own a jackson 5 string bass theres nothing special about it..infact i just bought a ibanez bass for 150 bucks that i think is way better then my jackson bass which cost 3 times as much..
derp jackson isnt owned or ran by grover jaackson in like 2 decades derp ...
Derp these nuts and fuck off i made a statement not imply that needed a reply from you..bty im sure not a whole lot has changed in the way they build jackson guitars...
@@namehere7829 lol even stupider reply ALOT has changed ...... DEERRRRRPPPPPPP
