Going to look at another one tonight that will match the one I am buying from the studio... 
I haven't looked at a Jackson in a long time, but I know they were making great guitars a while back. Cool deal on picking another up...
Pics when you get it.
Must have been the late 80's. The last time I looked at them was Thoroughbreds Music in Tampa, FL - which would have been the mid 80's to mid 90's range.
