Phil Collen went backstage during a stop on the 2018 Def Leppard / Journey tour to give a video run-through of his Jackson guitars.
In the clip above, Collen tells the story behind everything from his 1986 silver crackle Soloist—“it’s in the ‘Women’ video and I played it on the record with ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me,’” he says—to the newer X-Stroyer and his PC-1 signature models.
Check out the video for more Collen guitars.
