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
I wasn't expecting that additional scallop where the neck meets the body. VERY nice touch, one that my production Soloist lacks. Also, I'd say the quilt maple top on my guitar is WAY nicer than the Broderick I referenced. All in all I'm beyond satisfied. I was actually kinda nervous going into this, since it was my first custom guitar from anyone. For the amount of coin that a CS Jackson costs, I couldn't help but fear that they would screw mine up somehow. Obviously not the case here. I've combed over the guitar numerous times and I've only found one real "flaw": there's a tiny blemish on the fretboard at the 20th fret. Tiny enough that I can't really get a decent picture of it. Also tiny enough that no one will ever see it unless they're looking for it, so I really don't care.
Sod it, one more update using crappy photos into a lame arse montage
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...
Custom shop snowblind 7-string soloist, anyone?
Got to play this on before it shipped out. If I recall it was custom order piece that a couple small aesthetic things weren't right and was returned for rebuild.
^I covet that guitar
That was a work order that I put in a few years ago. It was missing a top carve and the binding wasnt as originally specified. It's a great guitar (Mike Shannon build), so somebody needs to give it a good home.
Rebuild arrived last week with the correct top carve and pearloid binding.
I got to try the new one too before it shipped out and it was a really awesome guitar. Kudos to you.
^ So much win Congrats! And the headstock size looks about right for a 7 string!
That's a Pablo soloist cut, right?
