Jackson/Charvel/EVH 2024

FYI

Jeff Loomis posted a video yesterday that its gone now. It was a clip of a bunch of half built Kellys. They were all full black and clear coated, so they weren't his usual matte black sig model. You could only see the back, and they had a cavity so either FR or Evertune equipped. The headstock wasn't entirely visible, so I couldn't tell if they were 6s or 7s models.

They *could* be just regular KE2s, but why build expectations for that? A new sig model sounds way more exciting.

I want to believe it’s 7 string Kellies with a standard, non-reversed headstock. This is my dream. IDGAF if it is an sig model. IDGAF about bridge type. I’ve been waiting so goddamn long.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. A girl can dream.

if they finally release a 7-string Kelly and put an Evertune bridge on it, they can shove it deep into their asses

Agreed. F those things. I'll deal with a recessed Floyd, but Evertune? F that.

Why do most EVH guitars not have stainless steel frets when Eddie was the first and biggest fan of them?

Now that every brand does it, they should really jump on the train and add that feature that the man would want on any his guitars.

Another “model shop” guitar, but confirmed made by Shannon. Looks fucking sick.

Maybe "Model Shop" is just code for "built by Mike Shannon to give him something to do in retirement so his wife doesn't get pissed that he's just sitting around watching Star Trek TNG reruns in the basement."

Or maybe that's just how my dad spends his retirement. Minus the making sweet guitars part.

I wonder how they thought of the name "Model Shop" for guitars made by Mike Shannon. I guess we'll never know.

If I didn't already have 9 Jacksons I would've bought one of these by now. I played one at Matt's Music and it was fantastic.

An even 10 sounds much better though so you might as well add one more.

And my other dealer just told me he has the White Pearl SL3 and a Lambo Orange SL2MG Coming in....

Hell Jackson might be pairing with Schecter and ESP as the top of my list of favorite companies.

When/if the wife and I have a permanent place and aren't renting I'll make that happen, haha.

As it stands, moving 9 guitars between apartments is kind of ridiculous.

Especially if you have one of the extreme shapes like a King V where I cannot even fit one in its case into the trunk of a normal car.
