Hey on that note, there is currently a RR7 on Reverb - too bad it's a bit beat up:

I thought those were pretty rare, but if not, please disregard.

They're pretty rare but FWIW, it's stars, so it's the Japanese budget line from the 90s/00s. I've heard generally good things about them, but no hands-on experience IIRC. I'd probably grab it for the $650 it is locally, but then fretwork and bodywork are super expensive here so it'd probably be $2k by the time it's all said and done.

Si tu n'es pas forcement attache a l'esthetique Kevin Bond, alors pour moi les meilleures options en RR c'est (en dessous de 500$) une RRXT de ~2015/2017 si tu peux essayer ou comparer (la qualite est aleatoire, mais les bonnes sont tres bonnes pour le prix), et entre 500 et 1000$ j'essaierais de trouver une Jackson Stars- il y en a regulierement en vente d'occase. Une vieille RR5 Japonaise c'est aussi top en qualite, mais un peu bling et seulement 22 frettes.

En fait, j'ai une custom shop masterworks que je ne veux pas emmener en concert pour ne pa prendre de risque donc voulant rester fidèle à Jackson, j'en cherche une haut de gamme mais pas USA (Quoi que..) avec certaines spécificités pour faire des concerts avec.
Donc une Bond ok mais RR5 et tout ça, bof.

Bond et RR5 c'est un peu du meme niveau si je me rappelle bien, du moins les anciennes RR5 qui etaient MIJ.
Quant aux Jackson Stars, c'est du MIJ exclusif au marche Japonais, souvent fait aux specs US, et vraiment c'est ce qu'il y a de plus proche d'une Jackson made in USA. D'ailleurs pour ca que je citais la RR7 de cette marque un peu plus haut. Meme si toi tu cherches une 6, je crois que ca peut peut-etre interesser ici etant donne que c'est pas courant d'avoir une RR 7 cordes de vraie bonne qualite.
Les RRXT sont clairement bien en dessous en terme de prix, et les recentes egalement au dessous en terme de qualite. Mais je dois dire que celles que j'avais essayees (et possede) dans la periode que je t'ai citee pouvaient etre etonamment bonnes. Et ca vient de qq qui connait bien Jackson USA (meme si je prefer Suhr ces temps ci).

Bonne chance pour ta recherche en tout cas!

Hi again guys I have another question about the jackson usa juggernaut ht7, whats the neck profile like? At the moment I'm using a schecter c7 hellraiser which I like, how do they compare? Anyone have any ideas?

 

[Mathemagician]

Are those spikey boi’s at the bottom the “Death Kelly”? I thought the death Kelly was the shape from that guy from Death angel with the hooked lower horn?

I've posted my guitar in other threads before, but never in the actual Jackson owners' thread. It's a 2017 Custom Select Kelly that's the absolute best guitar I've laid my hands on.

Specs:
Alder body
Maple neck
Ebony Fretboard
Quilted maple top
Transparent black finish (back of the body and neck are solid black)
Schaller locking tuners
Bare Knuckle Painkiller and Cold Sweat Pickups (originally Duncan JB and Jazz, as you can see in the first picture.)

Mine is a grover jackson that i changed the neck on with a reverse jackson one month, and peint it in black. Pics soon
Meanwhile, this arrived. Now i need the red and i’m set !
Just the clear on the back of the neck that has tarnoshed a bot i’ll take care of that soon

i found the neck to be more rounded C that usual jackson neck, i was surprised and didnt like it. The guitar itself was flawless ( sparkle bulb version) bit ended selling it because i like thinner neck like regular soloist etc...

Hawttt. That's probably my favorite next to the Kelly star.

LOVE the moon and stay inlay. On pretty much everything.

Pretty!
What do you use the 2 middle ones (quilted ones) for? Different tunings?

Thanks! Yeah, different tunings and electronics for a variety of tones.

That dinky is amazing. Ordered it via Jackson CS? How long did it take?

I didn't order this but I have the receipt from the Dutch store it came through in 1996. No idea of Jackson would still build these - but there are a few Player's Choice Series flamed Dinkys in circulation, so might want to try one of them I believe they were introduced in 1993 catalog
