I got this guitar in june of '99 from Alex Perez at Fender. He found the body that was left over. We got a neck for it that day. I wanted a strat that was routed for a humbucker for the Burning Rain Japan Tour. I first tried a Lawrence L500, which I has used in my '80 strat, but it didn't work with the Alder body. Alex gave me a Duncan Holdsworth model that sounds pretty fat. Ken at performance Guitars did an emergency fret job on the neck the day before I left for the tour.

Dough uses a Marshall Vintage Modern 2466, according to this Guitar Geek rig diagram.

This neck-thru Soloist has a white body with red flames, starting with a light orange and going to a dark purple.

Remarks: Soloist neck-thru. Doug is pictured with this guitar in the booklet of the 1991 BMR album "Bad Moon Rising". See large picture of the guitar before the headstock broke.

Doug Aldrich: — "This also has a broken headstock. I always used this on the last song of the night, and at the last song, when I went to throw it to my guitar tech, he changed sides on the stage and wasn't able to catch it, so it came crashing down to the ground! (laughter) Jackson repaired and repainted it. The previous color headstock was actually black. I didn't use it on the "Highcentered" album." (YG 1994 interview)

Doug uses two Standard Les Pauls, according to this Guitar Geek rig diagram.

Aldrich uses a Boss DS-1, according to this Guitar Geek rig diagram.

Remarks: The bridge pickup is a Duncan and the tremolo is a JT-590 Schaller Floyd. Apart from that, everything else is stock. It was born with a flat mount Kahler tremolo, which was later pulled due to sustain issues. The holes from the Kahler are still visible just rear of the JT-590. Doug used this guitar in the Hurricane video "Next To You" from 1990. The guitar still has the Kahler tremolo in the video. See still shot from the video. Notice the tape covering the bottom of both pickups.

Doug Aldrich: — "Yea that first had a Kahler trem but the sustain was kinda sacrificed so I asked Grover if we could switch. Yes, I put tape cause the high E string would get caught under both bobbins. Tape fixed that." (Forum thread). Doug taped his pickups this way on many of his Jackson's.

Doug Aldrich: — "This was the second Jackson I ever got back in '87 (was this the first?). It was the guitar I used during my Lion days in '88 before I came to Japan. I also used it in Bad Moon Rising, Hurricane and House of Lords. Actually, this has a broken headstock. During the Philadelphia show, my family came to see the show. I was supposed to throw the guitar towards my guitar tech for him to catch, but it slipped and ended up crashing down by my amp. My guitar tech ran to it immediately to check it out. (laughter) However, Jackson fixed it up, and it's as good as new now." (YG 1994 interview).
