Jackson

Jackson is a guitar manufacturer originally operated by Grover Jackson, a partner of Wayne Charvel of Charvel Guitars. It is probably best known for his guitar model "Rhoads" V, originally designed and used by guitarist Randy Rhoads. This model inspired Grover to start the Jackson guitar company.

Wayne Charvel sold his interest in the Charvel name to Grover Jackson on November 10, 1978. The shop was located in San Dimas, California and manufactured guitars in this place between 1979 and 1986, when the company merged with IMC (International Music Corporation), an importer of musical instruments based in Texas.
