i wish, it seems like the days of 24.75 shredders is gone unless your name is Caparison or ESP Maverick

Used Tom Anderson shortys go for peanuts bc the people who ordered them in the first place were missing the self awareness that nobody wants a 24.75 shredder

Exactly. I mean I can understand the slinkier feel of the shorter scale but you have to have stick fingers to shred on it. I can't imagine a 24.75" scale guitar with something crazy like 27 frets. You can't even fit your fingers there. A 27" scale gives me the perfect space for playing high up the fretboard.

though the Lil'Angels seem somewhat popular, and I don't think those would go used for pennies

I've seen them sell for 500+ less than the standard length equivalents, after more price drops and a longer time listed. Selling used customs is always a gamble, but making sure you have specs people actually want will increase your odds.

omg the mods are trying to get me in trouble with my wife

You say this like it's a new thing.

 

[eaeolian]

Yeah i can't believe they sell those new USA in soft bag...I'd rather find a old USA or MIJ used....

I actually bought one of those foam cases - they're better than you think - but I still don't disagree with the notion of buying used.

Do Jackson or Charvel currently make a neckthrough 24.75” shredder?

Never have. Fusions were bolt-on.

MJ So-Cal Style 1 HSS FR M, Maple Fingerboard, Gloss Black

The MJ So-Cal Style 1 HSS FR M is a state-of-the-art axe to be reckoned with. The alder body features a sculpted shredder's cut heel for comfortable upper fret riffing, and is paired to a graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple neck with a hand-rubbed urethane back finish. Catering to seamless...

Finally doing a 24-fret So Cal/San Dimas without Guthrie's name on it.

Also only $1700 which surprises me. Actually cheaper than the Concept Jacksons.

This one's interesting too

Im surprised they didn't do this under the Fender banner. But nah, a Jackson sig bass for a high-profile pop producer, music director, and live band director

The old-school logo looks great too

I thought the 750xl was neckthrough?

Set neck, I thought? I know the Archtop Pros are setneck. I could be wrong though.

Jackson Japan did make a Soloist Jr that was neck through and 24 3/4" scale.

 

[lattjeful]

Have no clue who this is but the guitars are kinda sick.

My brain was obviously cramping when I gave that answer.

Diff'rent strokes, I guess. I have short sausage fingers and I find sweeping on a 24.75 to be optimal for big stretches. I'll have to find one of these Tom A's!!!

I will never understand people who custom order a Jackson without the MOP sharkfins. Isn't that the purpose of a Jackson? A vehicle for MOP sharkfin inlay? I also am suspicious of anyone ordering a Jackson without the pointy headstock, but I can understand not doing so if there's no locking nut.

Thats what happens when you get someone on board that isn't a weirdo Jackson purist lol

She was using Gibson and ESPs, but it seems like Jackson really wanted her on board so they just made her an ESP Eclipse under the Jackson name.

Diamond Rose from Tetrarch. She's not a super virtuoso shredder but she still rips.

 

[MFB]

Those tops are super underwhelming, remind me of the old Ibanez ARTs, not sure how I feel about that headstock either

But then again, who would order one without a locking nut?

God I hate that headstock. Someone needs to write a bill to outlaw it.
