Естественно.
From 1993 to 1996, Jackson worked for Washburn USA in Chicago. During this time he designed and supervised the "Chicago MG" and "Mercury" guitar and "Bantam" bass series.These models were advertised as "Grover Jackson's design" along with his photo. He also worked with Dimebag Darrell to design and build his signature guitars (Washburn Dime series). Then he moved on to run the factory and supervise guitar designs for Rickenbacker from 1996 to 1999.
In the early 1990's, Grover Jackson worked with Washburn International headquartered in Vernon Hills, Illinois. Washburn open a manufacturing facility in downtown Chicago on Elston Avenue that produced a limited number of American made Washburn electrics. Although typically known as an importer, Jackson convinced Washburn to invest in people, equipment and processes to produce certain Jackson supervised models in Chicago. To this day, these models are floating around the U.S. and have been "appraised" for as low a $147.00 when in fact Jackson supervised and designed many custom features often requested by high profile artists. Components for the Jackson models were often produced by local Chicago contractors on precision numerical control equipment but in much less volume than that of a larger higher profile manufacturer. After Jackson's departure from Washburn, the downtown Chicago facility remained open briefly and then closed.
