Overview

A classic metal guitar with retro style and modern playability.

The Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1A H RW electric guitar captures the spirit of Jackson's trailblazing roots while delivering modern performance for today's players. With a classic San Dimas body crafted from lightweight alder, this guitar recalls the golden age of shredding when Jackson defined the sound and style of the L.A. metal scene. A bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement ensures rock-solid stability, while the 12"–16" compound-radius rosewood fingerboard provides a warm, responsive feel. Equipped with a top-loaded Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo system, the SD1A offers precise pitch control for dive bombs and harmonic squeals. Combining vintage aesthetics with contemporary engineering, this guitar is a nod to Jackson's legacy of innovation and power.

Compound-Radius Fingerboard for Seamless Playability

The Pro Origins SD1A features a rosewood fingerboard with a 12"–16" compound radius, designed to support both aggressive rhythm playing and high-speed soloing. This tapered design transitions from a comfortable curve at the nut to a flatter surface toward the upper frets, allowing effortless navigation across all 22 jumbo frets. Whether you're executing tight riffs or soaring leads, the fingerboard's smooth surface enhances precision and control. Large white dot inlays offer clear fret markers, while the natural satin finish on the neck ensures fluid, unhindered movement. This combination of features guarantees a playing experience that is both comfortable and performance-ready, no matter the intensity of your technique.

Floyd Rose Tremolo System for Advanced Pitch Control

At the core of the SD1A's expressive capabilities is the top-mounted Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system. This industry-standard bridge provides exceptional tuning stability, even during aggressive dive bombs and pull-ups. The locking nut ensures your strings remain secure, while the tremolo arm offers smooth, precise control for vibrato effects and dynamic pitch shifts. Ideal for high-energy performances, this tremolo system empowers players to push their sound to new creative heights without sacrificing stability. The SD1A's Floyd Rose setup ensures flawless tuning retention, making it a reliable tool for both live and studio settings.

Jackson Humbucker for Powerful, Focused Tone

The Jackson Pro Origins SD1A is equipped with a high-output humbucker in the bridge position, delivering the biting tone and punchy low end demanded by modern players. This pickup excels at cutting through dense mixes with clarity and definition, offering everything from tight, aggressive rhythms to searing lead tones. Dedicated volume and tone controls keep things simple and effective, providing quick and precise sound shaping. Whether you prefer crushing power chords or articulate solos, this pickup and electronics setup ensures your sound remains bold and commanding.

Premium Jackson Construction for Long-Lasting Reliability

Crafted with durability in mind, the SD1A features a bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint, ensuring maximum stability under heavy playing conditions. The alder body provides a lightweight yet resonant platform, while the gloss finish gives the guitar a sleek look. Rock-soild hardware, including Jackson's sealed die-cast tuning machines, complements the guitar's sleek aesthetic while offering reliable performance. With its robust construction and road-ready design, the SD1A is built to withstand the demands of relentless gigging and intensive practice sessions. This durability ensures consistent tone and playability, no matter where your music takes you.
