wait till the real thing comes out. Jackson doesn't seem to hire the most reliable employees.

It's probably been mentioned, but does anyone care to tell me the scale length(s)?

Pretty ridiculous considering that's a $1400-1800 hike in MSRP, according to the site.
I wonder if they figure barely anyone will buy the Bulb models and are using its cost to subsidize the Juggernaut model.
Hell yeah! I totally agree. I'm really getting some major Jackson GAS! I really love that Blue SLATX-M 3-7 Soloist
With NAZGUL'S!!

I don't think it's ridiculous, honestly. You're paying the upcharge for the covered pickups ($400 alone) and I found out the "P logo" inlays are being done by Ron Thorn, so you know it's not going to be a sloppy ass inlay job. When they have to give BKP, Thorn, Misha, etc. a cut of each guitar before they even see money, you can be sure Jackson is going to price it accordingly to ensure they get a decent chunk out of the deal for themselves still.

Damn, what a complete waste of Ron's time when they could just be CNC'ing this stuff in-house.

I don't imagine they will sell a whole lot with the inlay so not too much of his time would be wasted.

Jackson recognizes inlay talent when they see it? They've been using him for years for the Custom Shop stuff, so this is nothing new.
They're willing to pay and it's far easier for him to do stuff like that than it is for them to use builder time for inlaying when Ron is already set up to do all of that anyway. It seems more like a win-win than them losing out on anything. It likely costs them less to outsource that chunk to him than it would to have one of the builders stop what he's doing to focus on inlaying vice continuing to build guitars as they appear to still have quite a backlog to work through. 
I wonder if Jackson will do a TAM10 and release a lower-end version which still have the Juggernaut pickups, I imagine that lots of people would want this guitar simply for a chance to try out the pickups.

Damn, the silverburst looks GREAT! That and the Tiger Eye are at the top for me.
Nice pic of the Tiger Eye:

That inlay... Wondering if those fine details (the black parts between the pearl pieces on the handle of the P and the notches at the top of the P) are filler or if the inlay is just that intricate?
Also, it's not the same size on the 6 and 7 string models: they rescaled it to match each width fretboard. Nice touch as well.

Silverburst or Amber, that is the question.
