Jackson/Charvel Owners Club

[snowblind56]

So I'm not much on an NGD guy, but I can't help but post a few shots of my first CS.

These two are from the dealer...

And this is one of a few that a photographer-friend of mine took in his apartment. I didn't have the heart to mention the exposure at the time.

I've read/heard some pretty mixed reviews of Jackson's Custom Shop process in recent years. Issues ranging from the shop's inability to interpret a customer's specs to a good-old-fashioned botched final product. Not only did they totally nail what I wanted (which was simple, I'll admit) but they actually exceeded my expectations in a few ways. Pictures don't quite capture how rich the quilt top, the red finish and the quilted binding are in person. I'll be getting more CS Jacksons in the future for sure. If only the wait wasn't so exorbitant...

Curiously, how long was the build time on this beauty?

From the day I placed the order to the day I received word it was finished was a total of 23 months. The build order gave me an estimated wait time of 18 months but I knew better than to get my hopes up that soon.

Custom shop snowblind 7-string soloist, anyone?

Yes, please! Sometimes it's depressing how many Jacksons come with the standard black headstock. IMO all of their USA guitars in snow white should have a matching white headstock. Just so sexy.

Living within a 10 minute drive of that store is awesome, yet bad for my finances, lol.

I've been a long time Jackson Charvel guy but I took a walk down Ibanez lane for a couple of years now and I've returned.
MY 1986 jakcson Dinky (12XXserial# the real deal, I love the old originals)

my 2001 SL2H soloist (moved the volume knob and now I'm in love with it all over again)

 

[snowblind56]

Couch shot of Doom! I only have 3 left. Feraledge has the Agent Orange DK1, and the UV Burst and Trans Red Soloists were sold. I do have another Custom Select on order that should be here any day.

I only have a Charvel SoCal and a Jackson t-shirt for now

 

[Force]

I need to get me one of them shirts........or 2..........or 10..............

 

[kmanick]

add one more to the stable (needed a strat figured why not a charvel strat )

 

[sehnomatic]

I refinished my MIJ era jackson DKMG quite a while ago in metallic tangerine with a couple spray cans. To this day, I'm still too lazy to put a new decal on the headstock

 

[hazardous]

Jackson DK2M in red swirl finish (I think that's what it's called?)

Currently my main guitar in Drop D. Changed the floyd to a gotoh. It's a beast

 

[feraledge]

Just welcomed to my family:
