Guill, how could you let any of them go? Not enough room? Get a warehouse, it's seems you could afford one.

yeah haha the SV cases are huge, but they're worth it for the guitar that is inside :lol:

I'll never let my SV go, it's a killer guitar (once you got rid of the EMGs, that it :D)

what we need is more Arrow models in this thread !

Hey you SV owners what do you think of the neck joint? I love the shape too (am a big fan of Rhoads) but that neck thru joint on the Alexi totally put me off. Beyond the 17th fret your thumb is practically wrapping the body itself :spock:

@Guill666: Dibs on the MX ! :D
Nearly pulled the trigger on the tele, you got it on ebay not that long ago, correct ?

Nope got it for at least 2 years. But you probably saw my sell auction for it some weeks ago.

I decided to keep it finally as the trussroad is kind broken and don't wanna scam someone selling it broken :)

Well yeah the neck joint isn't at the best position ever but I dunno, I can play it normally.I prefer the upper fret zone on my SV to the one on my RR

The body meets the neck on a JP6 or an RG (with AANJ) at the 17th fret too. It's not a problem for me on those guitars and it's not a problem on the SV either. I haven't had the pleasure of playing a 24-fret Jackson RR, so I can't comment on how it compares to those.

Even though I don't have the Arrow but I have Jesse's signature guitar on order which is based on the Arrow shape!

I have the Alexi (two of them, actually) and I have no problem with the neck joint, I can reach the 24th fret without any issue.

I think I already mentioned it earlier in this thread, but if the Andromeda version of the Arrow model weren't so expensive, I'd already own one! :rofl: That is by far the best-looking flying V design on the market today! :wub:

Ah thanks guys. Know what I've been playing my Eclipse which have the joint at fret 16th.. and the body is 55mm. Not that bothered because it sounds great. I don't know why I even complained about the SV neck joint :lol: maybe I felt that for such a fast-looking guitar it could have been better designed.

Shouldn't your custom shop be about the same price as that?

I bought mine used, plus it's a CS. The Andromeda finish Arrow is a standard production model isn't it? :scratch: I could see dropping the cash on a used CS but if the price is the same for a production model Arrow I would be less inclined to pay so much! :( It's a shame as that shape and finish are absolutely amazing! :D

EDIT: Quick google search showed it coming up @ US$4,733.32, which is WAY more than my CS cost me. :lol: :eek:

Ah that explains!

The Arrow is a Japanese domestic model though, not a regular "Standard" production model, which means it's the same level as a custom shop, at least in terms of the actual production of the guitar goes, hence the price tag... it's a custom shop level guitar without any custom options, the same goes with all the Japanese domestic (aka Original Series) guitars.
