Def Leppard has kicked off their 2016 Summer North American tour, which has them storming through 55 cities in US and Canada over the next few months. As the legendary Brit rockers crank through a catalog stacked with monster hits, fans will at some point see Jackson signature artist Phil Collen ripping his guitar solos on a striking PC1 Deluxe that could wind up in your hands.  Because at the end of the tour … Collen will sign the stunning instrument, and give it away to one lucky fan!

Crafted specifically for Collen for the summer tour, the custom-built guitar comes in a unique Purple Metal Flake finish, and is based off his USA Signature PC1. Features include a genuine mahogany body with maple top, bolt-on quartersawn eastern hard rock maple neck with compound-radius flame maple fingerboard and 24 stainless steel jumbo frets, licensed Fender Strat reverse headstock, DiMarzio pickups  (DP152-F Super 3 (Bridge), HS-2 DP116 (Middle), PC1 Sustainer PC1 sustainer (Neck)), Floyd Rose Original tremolo and brushed gold hardware.
