JOURNEY INTO THE PAST…..with an original SCHON guitar. Designed by NEIL SCHON and built by Grover Jackson in San Demas, CA in 1986. There were actually two versions of this SCHON guitar built. The original, like mine, was built by Jackson Guitar in 1986, and then after a dispute between Neil and Grover, Larrivee Guitars of Canada was hired to build them but that didn’t last long either.
