F...k.. Jackson, do this to replace a mustaine sig FFS !!!!

Not a bad price at all for something that's upper-tier unobtanium.

I'm sure the board would darken up nicely. But I have to ask, "why spec a custom with no sharkies and rosewood?" 1993 was a different world, I guess.

"Student" specs knocked like $400 off the price, so it's understandable if you bought a finish that was an extra $600 IIRC.

too many knobs

Agree it should only be 1 volume and that's it. That said, I'll take that over too few pickups any day

Gotcha.

If I didn't already have 3 USAs then I would be very tempted by this. Even if it were a bit of a project to clean-up. Hard to find arch top USAs, even harder in a finish like that!

Legit Jackson or repainted charvel model6 ?

 

[Yul Brynner]

After another one of my forum hiatuses (hiatii?) I have acquired an EDS DK2. Should be a fun little project.

Whomever decided those should have chrome hardware must've been on drugs. She's getting a total hardware makeover with black, and an OFR, plus redoing the electronics from scratch with EMG 81X + 2x SAXs.

I realize this is only one post after saying I don't need more guitars. And I will not apologize for that.

I'm still jonesing for an eds rr3 since like 1999 lol.

Just got one of these, the American Series SL2MGHT, and I love the neck and the feel of the fretboard...it is pure awesomeness, and the satin finish on the neck feels so good!

Changed the EMG's to the new Duncan alt.metal Blackouts...gotta see how they are once I get to play more.

But all in all, I really love this guitar!

It made it safely through the voyage over from Japan, in better shape than the listing let on. Showed up with the nastiest strings I've ever seen, but it's cleaned up alright so far. Still need to finish setting it up, and I'm not sure it's staying, but not for any fault of it's own.

 

[manu80]

if the plan goes right and there are no risks, something cool should arrive soon....stay tuned. Countdown is on

Really interesting streaking on the upper half of the board there. These look so simple and fun. Congrats!

I dont know how to feel about this...

I love les pauls
i like jacksons
i love jackson necks
i love jackson weight

put those two together...?

great looking guitar! how's the neck on that? and i'm assuming regular LP specs of hog bod/neck and maple top? or something entirely different? and 24.75 scale?

Interesting choice to go truss rod coverless. Tbh the truss rod cover is one of those signature Jackson elements imo.

Come on. At least I didn't say anything about the colonoscopy paint job...

 

[groverj3]

Surprised no Pablo Santana comments yet.

 

[groverj3]

Gonna black out the hardware, install some EMGs, put a spare OFR in it, tune it to D standard, and enjoy.

What an antiquated take. we call those paint jobs rosebuds these days.
