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. Refreshed in 2017, Collen's revered USA signature models keep up with his latest tastes and specifications.

The USA Signature Phil Collen PC1™ Matte model boasts premium features including a caramelized mahogany body, bolt-on two-piece quartersawn caramelized 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® Super 3™ DP-152-F bridge pickup, DiMarzio HS-2™ DP116 middle pickup and a PC1 Sustainer Driver neck pickup. Equipped with dome-style 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.

Available in Satin Gray and Matte Blue Frost with black hardware.
