Jackson American Series

That fretboard is horrendous.

Yeah, they're really trying to make the streaky ebony happen, but it looks cheap and dry. Don't know why they can't dye it like ESP does. Richlite would be nice too.

 

[soul_lip_mike]

That fretboard god save us.

 

[Church2224]

I'd buy it.

Be an awesome workhorse

 

[Yul Brynner]

If it had a reverse headstock and a Floyd it'd be right up my cup of tea.

I love ebony with character, but that looks like the scrap of wood they would normally reject from the supplier or throw out.

 

[SalsaWood]

It reminds me of those fake lime washed gray flooring panels all the new modular homes have these days. I don't mind it as a fretboard, but those floors are definitely played out.

Cost. Everything about these is hitting a price point.

 

[Marked Man]

Dunno if you missed the price. They're 4700$

So... If this is a dumbed down USA Jackson at 4700 fucking dollars with korean trem, and a crappy case, yeah, I'm sure people will complain

Yeah but......USA...right?

 

[soul_lip_mike]

These are like 2700 usd aren’t they?

I played an SL2MG today, the lambo color with a floyd.

Context: I didn't really like the SL3 that much, nor the virtuoso (many of the latter felt sort of dead), I'm also not a fan of floyds

Maybe I just played a good example, but it was incredible. Seems like they are moving in the right direction.

Def didn’t but prices are all relative. The guitar is priced quite affordable compared to Jacksons other model so if the dude is mad about the guitar’s price in Australia I’m going to assume the top tier Jacksons are even crazier. The point being, this guitar is x% cheaper than the Jackson USA “custom shop” guitars which are like 5k minimum, right? I don’t know what a USA Juggernaut or Broderick costs in Australia so feel free to educate me if this is some outlier.

 

[AkiraSpectrum]

I think Jackson is on the right track, especially with these American SL2s.

I think they should start making some of their sigs in the American Series. An American series Juggernaut would be an instant hit. They could spec it exactly like the USA and still be significantly cheaper.

If anyone from Jackson is seeing this suggestion, you’re welcome, and feel free to send me one when you start doing the American series Juggernaut HT7…. lol

I had to pick up strings today and decided to kick some tires while I was there and ohhh my goodness the slime green SL3 was a dream! Screaming fast neck, nice dark ebony board.. just zero complaints, even decently setup, it's got me looking at my RR3 wondering what I'd get for trade in ..

 

[Church2224]

Just ordered the green Sl3. Very Excited

I would also love to see a Model with a Maple board. I can only imagine the Virtuoso with the Maple board

 

[jephjacques]

My SL3 is very nearly as good as my CS Jacksons, all the haters in this thread can enjoy being wrong

Yeah, but like a picture on the internet made it seem like the fretboard wasn't absolutely pitch black, so obviously these are all shitty.

Checkmate loser.
