2012 Jackson Custom Shop USA PC1 Phil Collen Signature Flame Top w Floyd Rose ~ Au Natural Satin

Let’s get one thing out of the way…this is not your average shred guitar.

Sure, it’ll play every Def Leppard lick you can throw at it, but that’s almost selling it short. The Jackson USA Custom Shop PC1 Phil Collen Signature is one of the most innovative guitars Jackson has ever built. Gorgeous flamed maple? Check. German Floyd Rose? Of course. Premium USA Custom Shop craftsmanship? Naturally. But the feature that separates this guitar from almost everything else hanging on the wall is the legendary Fernandes Sustainer System.

Hit a note, flip the Sustainer on, and suddenly the rules change. Notes bloom, harmonics leap out on command, and solos become limited only by your imagination…or your drummer’s patience.

Then somebody decided that “factory awesome” simply wasn’t enough…

This PC1 has been treated to an extensive collection of FU-Tone premium upgrades, including titanium hardware, brass upgrades, silent springs and a massive brass sustain block. In other words, if the original Floyd Rose was already a Formula One race car, somebody just installed carbon fiber, titanium suspension, racing slicks, and handed it the keys to Monaco.

The best part? Every original Floyd Rose component is included, so the next owner can have it exactly as it left Jackson—or exactly how it sits now, which is basically the guitar equivalent of drinking espresso while riding a rocket.

Condition

This 2012 Jackson USA Custom Shop PC1 is in Very Good condition and has clearly been owned by someone who appreciated playing a great guitar rather than simply admiring it from across the room.

It shows honest cosmetic wear consistent with a well-cared-for player’s instrument, including scratches, finish wear, edge wear, and a handful of dings exactly as shown in the photographs. Nothing jumps out as excessive, and nothing affects the outstanding playability or performance of the guitar.

In 2023, the guitar was professionally PLEK’d by Tone Shop, and the original PLEK documentation is included with the case candy. Between the precision fretwork, premium FU-Tone upgrades, and Custom Shop craftsmanship, this guitar plays every bit as well as you’d expect from one of Jackson’s flagship models.

Included

• Original Jackson Molded Hardshell Case
• Tremolo Arm
• Original Floyd Rose Hardware Removed During the FU-Tone Upgrade
• FU-Tone Documentation
• 2023 Tone Shop PLEK Card
• Miscellaneous Case Candy

The PC1 has earned a loyal following because it isn’t simply another high-end super Strat.

The combination of USA Custom Shop craftsmanship, a beautifully resonant mahogany body topped with premium flamed maple, the powerful DiMarzio Super 3, the legendary Fernandes Sustainer System, and the rock-solid German Floyd Rose resulted in one of the most versatile and innovative signature guitars ever built.

This one simply takes it a step further.

The premium FU-Tone upgrades make an already exceptional tremolo system even better, the professional PLEK setup ensures effortless playability, and the fact that every original component has been retained means nothing has been lost in the process.

Finding a USA Custom Shop PC1 is uncommon.

Finding one with this combination of upgrades, documentation, originality, and eye-catching flame maple…well…that’s the kind of guitar that usually disappears before you have time to convince yourself you were “just looking.”

Whoever brings this baby home is gonna be STOKED!!

LET’S GO!!
