Nyck's upcoming COW7 might be ugly as hell, but it plays and sounds damn good. And that's what really counts.

Agreed. I don't really question the people who buy them, I just wonder what Jackson was thinking - the black one outsells it like 7:1, and it's $300 extra for a very questionable graphic...

Why on earth does a guitar with one pickup and one volume pot need such a GIGANTIC control cavity, AND a separate battery compartment? That seems like an awful lot of wood removal for very little purpose.

The control cavity is the standard Jackson size. The battery compartment is because people whine about unscrewing the control cavity. :lol:

I'm the only mother fucker that i like the camo COW?

I think that it's a simple camo, but i love it.

And i think that the truckster it's nice too.

Maybe i'm wrong, or maybe another thing... :lol:

I'd like to see someone do a current ACU pattern camo paintjob:

See if you can get a digital file of that and send it to a sign shop to get masking vinyl cut on a plotter.

I'm not sure what country has key lime green, piss yellow and poo-stain brown as the main colours in their desert, but the "desert camo" finish on the COW 7 looks more like "margarita-stained used toilet paper camo" to me.

Yeah, but when you've got a cavity that size that's mostly empty, why not embed the battery door in the cavity cover instead of digging another hole in the body for it?

I guess it's not as easy :shrug: Epiphone did that on the one LP with 81s they had.

Thats no really camouflage. It looks like a really weak attempt. Hell there are no repeated parts on there..

And to think this costs more than the black one. Least Jackson could have done is given it a real camouflage job.
