Jackson’s new Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas series pairs ‘80s metal vibe and aesthetics with modern precision features
Jackson has launched its new Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas series – a selection of guitars which pair the ‘80s metal vibe and aesthetics with modern precision specs.
Aiming to equip metal guitar players with “retro-futuristic” tools, these guitars are loaded with vintage Jackson J90C & J50B pickups, old-school top-mounted double locking Floyd Rose FR1000 tremolo systems, and the legendary original speed neck shape.

All four models sport a resonant alder body for the “perfect balance of warmth and punch, with exceptional sustain and clarity to cut through the mix”.
They also feature Jackson’s sleek super speed neck profile for easy fretting the length of the fretboard, 12”-16” compound radius fingerboards and, as stated, Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo systems for those classic ‘80s divebombs.
The single-pickup Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1A H FR is available in both rosewood- and maple-fingerboard configurations, and while the Pro Origins 1985 Limited Edition San Dimas SD1 HH FR and Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas SD1 HH FR have maple fingerboards.
The Limited Edition model comes with uncovered pickups, while all other models in the range have pickup covers.
“The Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas series leans heavily on nostalgia and authenticity, featuring pickups designed from the old school J90 and J50 recipes that defined the high velocity music of the 80s,” says Jon Romanowski, VP of Product, Jackson.
“We’re offering players that coveted vintage tone and feel, built with modern craftsmanship and reliability features that today’s professionals demand. When you plug into a Pro Origins San Dimas, you’re connecting directly to that golden era of guitar innovation while having the confidence of modern construction and playability standards.”
The Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas series starts at £999. For more information, head to Jackson.
