    Other models and signature guitars:


    Later 90s Grover Jackson and GJ*

    A similar story to the Grover Jacksons, these are usually Japanese made import Jacksons but for the domestic market there only. They consist of the typical classic Jackson shapes and styles, similar to worldwide market models but may also consist of unique models. A couple immediately below are USA made (will be marked) but sold only to Japanese markets, thus still using Grover names. Jackson Stars will be covered here, which also has some US and MIJ offerings. GJ or Team GJ is for Grover Jackson. This is later down the line and lower end. (A bit more research needed. Also some color codes needed)

    Grover Jackson Delight:

    Grover Jackson Progress:

    Grover Jackson Ambition:

    Grover Jackson Classic but unconventional:

    Grover Jackson Bass GJb and Lb: Various basses that closely resemble to the late 90s to early 00s Concert Basses but offer other attributes. All sport a unique ‘GJb’ logo on the 3 or 2x2 headstock. 1999-?

    Black Blood Series: All blacked out Jacksons! 1996-99? Come in all the main Jackson shapes. I will group these together as the catalogs do.

    Grover Jackson GJr. Series: short scale (24.75) instruments with built in speakers. Apparently they got Megadeth to model with them! (see images)

    Grover Jackson MyG.: Seems to be an entry level collection. 1999ish. There are two Charvels in this series too, but they’ll be covered on the Charvel page.
