Overview

A retro-modern metal guitar with bold two-tone styling.

The Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 limited-edition electric guitar is a vintage-inspired shred machine that pairs classic metal styling with modern performance features. Boasting an iconic design that honors Jackson's early days, this guitar embodies the spirit of the '80s L.A. metal scene while delivering cutting-edge playability. Its alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation, while the bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement ensures robust stability and smooth performance. Equipped with a top-mounted Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo, this model offers precise pitch control for dive bombs and expressive vibrato. Wrapped in a striking Two Face finish, it's as bold visually as it is sonically, making it a true standout for players who demand both style and substance.

Floyd Rose Tremolo for Precision Pitch Control

This limited-edition San Dimas guitar features a top-mounted Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system, allowing players to execute extreme dive bombs and subtle pitch shifts with total confidence. The locking nut ensures tuning stability, even during aggressive performances, while the recessed design provides a sleek playing feel. Combined with a 25.5" scale length, this hardware setup supports tight string tension for articulate riffing and fluid solos. Whether you're adding subtle texture or unleashing high-octane effects, the tremolo system delivers the expressive range and reliability needed for demanding playing styles.

Compound-Radius Maple Fingerboard for Speed and Comfort

The maple fingerboard on this model offers a compound-radius design that transitions from a 12" curve at the nut to a flatter 16" radius near the upper frets. This creates a playing surface that's comfortable for chord work in the lower register while facilitating effortless bends and fast runs higher up the neck. With 22 jumbo frets, players have ample space for expressive techniques, and the black dot inlays provide clear visual guidance without detracting from the guitar's aesthetic. This thoughtful design ensures optimal comfort and precision for both rhythm and lead playing.

High-Output Humbucker for Pure '80s Metal Tone

Equipped with a single Jackson high-output humbucker in the bridge position, the Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1A is purpose-built for hard-hitting tone and searing lead work. This no-nonsense pickup delivers aggressive output with tight lows, cutting mids and articulate highs—perfect for the fast, high-gain styles that defined '80s metal. A single master volume knob gives you total control without clutter, letting you focus purely on your playing. Whether you're ripping solos or grinding out power chords, this minimalist electronics setup ensures maximum tone with zero distractions. It's a straight shot to that raw, high-octane sound Jackson players crave.

Durable Jackson Build for Long-Lasting Performance

The Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 is crafted with a bolt-on maple neck that features a scarf joint and graphite reinforcement for enhanced durability and stability. This construction minimizes warping and maintains consistent tone over time, even under the stress of frequent gigging or studio use. The natural satin finish on the neck provides a smooth, non-sticky feel, ideal for fast playing and extended performances. Paired with Jackson's sealed die-cast tuners, this guitar is built to handle the rigors of heavy use without compromising playability or tuning reliability.

Rediscover Jackson's Iconic Heritage in a Modern Build

The Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 limited-edition electric guitar combines retro aesthetics with modern engineering to create a shred-ready axe that honors the brand's legacy. From its compound-radius fingerboard to its Floyd Rose tremolo, every detail is designed for precision, speed and power. Whether you're chasing the tones of '80s metal icons or carving out your own sonic identity, this model offers the tools to make it happen. Explore the Pro Origins 1985 series and unleash your potential.
