2009 Jackson BlackJack S10, 3+5, Emmons set up.
I paid $1950 plus $200 for the vertical lever this past summer.
It includes cover by “Sharp Covers”, rod and leg pouch, and Thomas case.

This guitar was set up 2” higher than standard by Mr. Jackson. This
is easily be remedied. Always easier to shorten as opposed to lengthening.
The rear apron is full size, so the 2” extra is needed for anyone over 6’. I’m 6’2” and have thick legs and all 2” are needed for me.

I’m sure I’ve played this less than one hour. The only reason I’m selling is
Because it is a single and I’m too accustomed to a double body steel.
It plays and sounds as good as it looks. It stays in tune well and cabinet drop is only slight.

There is one small nick on the pedal board, and I have no idea how that got there, but it’s barely noticeable.
I am asking $1900 and will consider a trade for a comparable SD10 3+5 or D10.
I would prefer not to ship. I can deliver within 75 miles or meet someone halfway within the state of Florida.

Pictures will be posted by forumite Ken Mizell.
Additional pictures available upon request.

I've sat behind this guitar and have played it a little. Nice. It's in tip-top (like new out of the box) condition.

Is the changer a pull release or all pull? Thanks.

Billy, I don't know anything about the pull release system. As far as I know this is just an all pull

The web site might enlighten you more.
thanks for looking,

These are sweet little session guitars. Worth every penny you're asking. This economy sucks!!!

Wish I had the $1900... or you were as attracted to my GFI U14 as I am to your little Jackson (LOL).

(In all honesty, Bobbe Seymour already owns my GFI if I don't sell it here... and he owns it way too cheap!)

I have never seen these guitars but i do have a question if you don't mind . I looked at the changer end and i was wondering if these are student models ? I can't see the complete changer but just had to ask . I would like to see these guitars up close . G.P.

The BlackJack is not a student guitar. The setups can be changed on this guitar. It is well made, sturdy, and is not a cheaply made guitar at all.
It is a new design and it works very well. After all, the designer and builder IS David Jackson.

This tells more about it. Scroll down to the first BlackJack.
I do have some close up shots of the undercarriage that I can send to serious inquirers.
