Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 HH FR MN, Candy Apple Red

Full Description

Retro inspired design

The Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 HH FR MN captures the spirit of a defining era in guitar history. With a sleek San Dimas body shape and a Candy apple red finish, it brings back the sleek look that ruled the Sunset Strip in the mid 80s. This model is part of the Pro Origins Series, built in Ensenada to honour Jackson’s early Southern California roots. From the pointed six in line headstock to the minimalist control layout and top mounted tremolo, every detail evokes the high octane energy of metal’s golden age while still delivering modern build quality and precision.

Authentic Jackson tone

At the heart of this guitar’s tone are the custom voiced Jackson J90C and J50N humbuckers. Developed using the original specifications from Jackson’s early days, these pickups recreate the powerful, articulate sound that made the brand a staple in hard rock and metal. The J90C in the bridge provides rich mids and tight low end response, perfect for palm muted riffs and soaring leads. The J50N in the neck offers warmth and smooth sustain for expressive solos. Together, they form a versatile HH configuration that handles clean passages and full on distortion with ease.

High speed playability

Speed and precision are at the core of the SD1 HH’s design. Its bolt on maple neck features graphite reinforcement for enhanced stability and is shaped into Jackson’s acclaimed Speed Neck profile. This, combined with a 12" 16" compound radius maple fingerboard and jumbo frets, allows for effortless transitions between rhythm work and high register soloing. The fretboard flattens out as you ascend, making it easier to bend, shred and sweep with pinpoint control. You can rely on this neck for fast playing and technical mastery without fatigue.

Floyd Rose stability

Equipped with a top mounted Floyd Rose 1000 Series double locking tremolo, this guitar is built for extreme expression. Divebombs, flutters and pitch shifts stay in tune thanks to the locking nut and solid hardware. The top mount design delivers a distinct feel and response under the hand, ideal for guitarists who favour the original non recessed setup. From subtle vibrato to aggressive motion, this bridge system offers reliable return to pitch, giving you the freedom to explore advanced tremolo techniques without compromise.
