As much as I dig the creamsicle, I still really want a tiger eye HT7 to go with my Laguna HT7

Where's the neon pink and green versions? :cool: :yesway:

I thought the instagram teaser made the color look nicer vs that shot on the Jackson page, that pic doesn't seem to do the orange color much justice.

I was thinking the same thing, Mike!

Misha - Do you know if the production color will be identical to the one that you have? The orange they have up on the site looks a bit different so I was curious if they changed the shade used on the production models or something? :(

The actual model will look exactly like mine, as mine was the sample that they sent for me to approve, so it will be EXACTLY that.

Awesome! :D That's going to be damn tasty! :yum: Any idea how many might be done in that color for the US market (or any chance you could ask one of your folks @ Jackson for us pretty please?)? I gotta admit I'm tempted because I love bright colors and orange is a fave... :rofl:

I'm not entirely sure, but my guess would be maybe 20-30.

God I would love one of these still. So far I'm still set on the blue, although the orange does look pretty cool. Just can't justify it though, I recently put in an order for a custom shop Soloist with a hard tail because it's been on my to-do list for a long, long time.

Are any going to be sold through Sweetwater or anywhere like that, also does anyone know the release date (outside of just July 2016). Literally everything that I needed to have happen in order for me to get one, happened. So I'm really wanting to make sure I don't miss out on my opportunity. Here is what transpired:

1. The Misha post of the Orange HT7
2. I believe that we (sso) generated enough interest in that thread to make this production run happen. Or was it going to happen anyways?
3. I ask the wife, if we manage to get the opportunity to buy this guitar, can I have it. She laughs because I just bought a JP15 in January of this year.
4. The news reaches me yesterday, that it is indeed going to have a limited run so I casually mention it to the wife. It was stated that short of me getting a raise, there was just no way I would be allowed to get it.
5. I get a raise out of no where today. It felt like a legitimate miracle. The wife's first question "You going to get that orange guitar you've been talking about for the past couple of months?"

Now I just need to make sure I get it.

Ah yeah, I wasn't going for the thinnest neck possible, because not only does that affect the stability of the neck for obvious reasons, but I don't think it sounds very good either, a thicker and denser neck will always sound better in my experience, but I also don't want it to be a baseball bat, so it took a bit of tweaking to get right!

Also Gearfest was a blast, I'm glad I could help encourage your daughter, that's so awesome!

When I had my basses custom made that was my experience as well. However having tiny sausage fingers I began experiencing with different material and found out that wenge really hit the sweet spot, and still allowed me to have a thinner neck profile. Not sure if you are familiar, but I played Fender Performers in the 80's and just loved those the necks. But the basses sounded to thin to me.

Of course, guitar is a different beast altogether.

Any owners having tuning issues with the HT6/7? I love how my HT6 plays but 3rd string goes out of tune (even more than it's usual) immediately and just generally sounds "off'. Tuning overall has been a real issue and I've tried different strings, intonation adjustment, etc. with no luck. Not trying to talk anyone out of a purchase, just curious if this was happening to anyone else.

I had this issue and widened the nut slot and used nut sauce, it fixed the problem.

Your intonation could also still be off, recheck it with a strobe tuner. Both the HT6 and HT7 are fine on my end.

A common issue. I love mine so much now - a nut replacement fixed the tuning problem completely. Intonation could still be off - the hipshot bridge springs actually don't have enough coil to totally fix any issue with it. One user here had to order and install a new spring.

That's a cool story! Seems like one of the guitars already has your name on it and everything else is falling into place. ;)

I'm lusting for a blue frost HT6 but then again I have a custom guitar in the making and I'm looking forward to place deposits on two more custom guitars. Let's see...

Hmm, thanks guys/gals. I'll see what I can do with it.

Hey dude I'm glad you are so excited for them, truthfully I don't know when they are being released exactly, but I'm sure Sweetwater will get at least one since they do a lot of Fender/Jackson stuff and have been generally awesome to Periphery. This is a super limited run, so I'd maybe hit Sweetwater up to see if they can make sure to snag one for you and hold it!
