Mishas Sig?

[Ambit]

I think it's really lame that if you want a good looking top, you basically have to get the insanely overpriced version, with the P logo and the engraved pickups, neither of which I want. On the other end, I don't want to pay $2700 for a Jackson that has a matte top..... Ugh. 2k would be a much better price for one of those.

Just for the record, you absolutely don't need to get the one with the P logo to "get a good top". The tops are the same spec between the "Bulb" and "Standard" models. The only difference in the Bulb one other than the pickup covers is you get the "P" inlay which is done by Ron Thorn which is why there is a substantial price jump, but the bread and butter has always been the Standard model for that reason.

The tops are 3A tops because a 5/8" top ain't cheap. Thanks to Mother Nature they will vary in grain, figure and look, and no one really knows what the top will look like until they cut into it.

If you want something with a nice top or something to your taste, I'd recommend reaching out to dealers and asking for pics or video. Sweetwater and The Music Zoo are great dealers that have awesome customer service, and hopefully they can help you find something you would like!

Hope this clears that up!

Misha, any plans on a maple fretboard run?

We should start with the basics just so everybody is on the same page:

If I were to do something like that I would want it to be a cooked maple neck, ideally flamed maple.

Not that I can afford another but yes, do that. In fact, slap a hipshot trem on that sucker and go full on Guthrie.

I'd be down to grab a baked board/trem HT.

Make it a floyd

Nope mine is not a Bulb edition and i think i have a pretty good top

That is probably the best I have seen ^^^.

Yowza thanks friendo. That would look amazing on your sig.

a baked flame maple.... mmm that sounds awesome! I still probably wouldn't buy one of these just simply because it's out of my price range. I'll stick to my poor man's juggernaut (DK2M ht) for now, lol.


PS, I guess I kind of understand wanting a nice top with an expensive guitar, but.... if it sounds incredible and plays incredible, how much does that part really matter? not looking to get flamed, just my opinion

Non bulb edition here too. I'm fairly happy with my Laguna top as well.

 

[Jonathan20022]

The tops just vary and you need to shop around if you want to get something specific. Here's my non bulb edition as well.

WOW. And I thought I had a good top...

But yes: if there is ever a roasted maple neck version of the Juggernaut, count me in.

First peek at the import version? In the full video you can tell the bridge isn't a real hipshot and the inlays are different

exciting!

time to speculate on specs!!!!

 

[A-Branger]

I know people are going to kill me, but it needs neck binding

 

[mperrotti34]

why wouldnt they use a real hipshot? its not like it adds that much to the cost of a guitar.

 

[Cowboyfromhell]

I would love to see a matte blue frost import and why not Piranha Tooth inlays ? Anyways i trust Misha and plus its his signature he can do whatever he likes .
