The professional guitars have mother of pearl inlays. With that being said, they’re probably not going to be amazing pieces of mother of pearl. But they will be MOP.

If you scrape (lightly) your fingernail across the surface and it feels gritty, its MOP.
It's not that simple. Some of them do, but not all of them.
Maybe they are real then! I have to say I'm not sure, I just thought that when they stopped the Pros, XLs etc. in 95 that they stopped the mop inlays.
Anyway if they look good they look good, regardless material!

Buys guitars, sometimes plays them
Some maintenance on the Fusion Pro. Such a nice guitar

Has anyone gotten their hands on (whether bought or just played) any Masterbuilts? I've become quasi-obsessed with them, mostly just for the rarity, and the only way you'll see anything even slightly unique specs wise. There's a store on Long Island that's a big Jackson dealer, and I'm hoping they get some NAMM pieces so I can check them out.

This looks pretty sick. My favorite part of the guitar is actually the finish (or lack thereof) on the back lol. Still a cool idea though.

I mean, I guess it's alright but if you're going to use that technique, why on top of figured koa? You can't really see any of it.

Anyone know the song they open that video with? Can't find it on the Exmortus spotify...

Whatever you paid, it was worth it. That's a fantastic job.
I undertook a crackle project over the summer on one of my Jacksons, and while I'm generally pleased with the outcome, I will NEVER do that again. Totally brutal.

I still don't get why they advertise their master build customs on social media when nobody is fucking allowed to even order one. Sure it's an awesome instrument but it just makes me salty I can't buy one for myself.

Very true. "Here guys, look at all of this cool stuff that our custom shop has always been able to do if you're a big enough artist and if you're not get fucked"
Yep. Thanks for showing me anyways I guess, Jackson lol

I mean I get the marketing videos for the guitars that we can actually buy. Those videos are great. I’m just yelling at clouds really because I really wish I could buy a true custom Jackson.
There's not really any such thing. I know of at least one neck-thru that's called a DK on the Custom Shop paperwork, so it's possible there's some anomaly out there. There's no meaningful difference anyway, so it would just be a matter of having a different name rather than being a different guitar.
Except the Dinky body is 25% smaller I thought?
Incorrect
So
Sorry its 7/8ths the size
Which is the same size as the Soloist body—they're both 7/8th the size of a Strat. 22 fret DKs are slightly different, but they're essentially the same size and shape. Someone even did a tracing back in the day on JCF to show it:
