I remember reading the Jackson bought the reflex company after hearing them installed in a customers guitar that was being service or something... I could have mixed this story up however

I had them in a guitar I had for a short time. One of two guitars I actually sold.

I remember good things, like nice articulation.

Another pickup of yesteryear is Ultrasonic. I have a set of those in HSS from my Model 6 project.

Yes, the only two I didn't bond with. The Reflex guitar was actually a very nice Jackson Soloist Archtop Pro, pretty much like my 750XL, but the Ebay auction stated original case and it was not so I didn't like the guitar as a package and moved it on. Probably should have kept it. I'd have found a case by now.

Looks like reflex pick ups are made by the same guy who makes pick ups for uli Jon roths sky guitar.
Two sets of nos Jackson stock on eBay now.
