I'm not normally a fan of matt colours but that olive drab hardtail is doing things to me.

I slightly prefer the dark camo on the one Mark has. Trust me, I've been eyeing the Concept Rhoads since it was releasedYou can buy the Cammo Rhoads 7 already as part of the Concept Series, which *is* MIK:

The wood camo, hoping they finally go SS on the fret wire with all the new pro series getting the treatment. Can't wait to see these hit shelvesI slightly prefer the dark camo on the one Mark has. Trust me, I've been eyeing the Concept Rhoads since it was released

I guess they don’t dye the ebony boards anymore in this 2k price range? The old SL27 had evenly dyed black boards.
I noticed this trend with LTDs and EIIs in the same price range.

I’ve had my eye on those, too. And the Mark H. Black and gold one. But I have a couple 7 string Vs, so I really don’t need more. But I’ll be damned if those aren’t two of the sexiest 7 strings on the market now.I slightly prefer the dark camo on the one Mark has.

The industry needs to hurry up and adopt Richlite asap.
Yeah, I understand people not wanting it on historically accurate Gibsons and stuff, but there's no reason not to use it on everything else.
I'm pretty sure the reason is that it's more expensive.

Idk about you but the color of it isn't a huge deal to me. I actually think it looks kind of cool being able to see the wood pattern on it.

Question for the Jacksophiles or those who may have the info: How are the JS series guitars you've played?
My more recent playing experiences with the lower import Jacksons has been pretty bad, but I haven't played any of these. I want a V to experiment with, and the JS32 Rhoads looks like one of cheapest and most immediately available options.
I wouldn't be expecting greatness, but I would rather skip it if the guitar won't be more than simply functional. "Good for what it is" or slightly above average would be nice.

Cheap bodies, cheap hardware but really good necks which is the main contact point so I feel like that makes up for the other shortcomings.
I was in the same exact boat and considering a JS Rhoads or Warrior but when I went into a Guitar Center to try out some guitars, I pulled a JS22 off the wall with stainless steel frets for reasons I still don't understand so that's what I went home with. There's no denying it feels like a cheap guitar but it also feels great to play and is a great workhorse. I had a spare nut lying around so I dropped that in and liked the guitar enough to replace the garbage tuners with a set of locking ones.
Plus you get sharkfins and binding which is more than most new Jacksons can say without spending a fortune lol.

There's finally a seller out there that's received one of the Concept Series RR24 FR H guitars and put up some pics of it. Looks sick. I've already got a few replacement parts ready to throw in it when I order one.

Wow these American SL2s with hardtails are calling to me. As soon as they make this as a Dinky I won’t have a choice but to get one.

I wouldn't bother with anything less than the X series, ideally the Pro series if you can find one for a good deal; my Jackson MT Pro was a slick player, damn near thinnest neck I've ever played next to my Parker, but as always just felt like "more guitar" than I needed.

I had a JS32 7 stringer with the natural finish quilt top. Was a nice looking guitar. Neck was fine. No real issues with it. Once you'd been playing it a while it felt fine, but whenever you picked it up after having played something else, it felt cheap.
That could have been down to the satin neck and fret ends though, both of which you could sort.
I still threw a Nazgul in it and recorded some tracks with my band so it wasn't terrible.

I'm glad I'm not an EMG guy or I'd be severely tempted.

I've not mentioned the Vogg Fury for at least ten minutes.
I need more info!
As mentioned, there's been no signature models released this year. Mike Stringer and Lee Malia are on the list as well. Would be good to see some leftfield instruments from Jackson.

I'm more tempted by the Virtuoso, but either way, pickups are easily changed.
