Def Leppard's Phil Collen | Backstage Pass | Jackson Guitars

Jackson

collapse expand iconDescription

As a longtime Jackson endorser (since 1986) and lead guitarist for one of the world’s biggest-selling rock bands, Def Leppard’s Phil Collen has deftly wrung numerous classic riffs from Jackson guitars. It’s impossible to imagine the ‘80s and ‘90s rock charts—or Jackson history—without him.

Collen’s PC1 Dinky was one of the original Jackson signature instruments, and continues to stand out in modern times with its staple exotic woods and a Jackson Sustainer/Driver. New for 2017, Collen’s revered USA signature models are being refreshed to match his latest tastes and specifications.

The new USA Signature Phil Collen PC1 Satin electric guitar boasts premium features, including a caramelized mahogany body with 1/8" quilt maple top, bolt-on two-piece caramelized quartersawn flame maple neck with hand-rubbed urethane gel on the back and graphite reinforcement, 12-16" compound radius caramelized flame maple fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets, convenient thumbwheel truss rod butt adjust and licensed Fender Stratocaster headstock.

Collen’s favored H/S/S configuration is also here, with a DiMarzio DP-152-F bridge pickup, DiMarzio HS-2 DP116 middle pickup and a PC1 Sustainer Driver as the neck pickup. Equipped with master volume, master tone and intensity control knobs, as well as a five-way blade switch to tweak and refine tone, a Floyd Rose Original tremolo with die-cast tuners and satin gold hardware.

The Phil Collen PC1 Satin includes a hardshell case.
