Mishas Sig?

So much speculation!!

You kept the ebony fretboard! But are those Juggernauts in it? Perhaps stainless steel frets? Only time will tell...

 

[manu80]

damn the 7 has the better finish than the 6
yeah wish they keep the BK on it, otherwise people will say it looks like a SLAT

I'll just continue speculating, but my guess is that if Jackson switched in some crappy proprietary sort of pickup then they'd also have to manufacturer the rare 7-string pickup covers for them to make the advertised guitar. Which goes against the low cost. So I'm guessing BKPs, but otherwise maybe a DiMarzio replacement, because at least last I checked it was really hard to get oem 7-string pickup covers.

Great point!

I'll say this much: I was shocked at how good a job they did with the import model, and that was just the first revision. I have a gun metal grey 6 that is the final revision and it rules so much I will be using it live, and we worked hard to make this as affordable as possible without sacrificing the quality of the guitar. I'm so excited for this!

The solid color looks good.

Can you say what the pickups are?

I can once NAMM starts!

Hey all, I was kind of curious of what ever became of the silverburst sparkle models? You don't really see much of them and they don't seem to be available, was it just a limited color?

 

[M3CHK1LLA]

the gunmetal looks pretty rad.

wonder what the price point will be?

No but I do think they were generally less common because they were a bit of a pain to make.

I'm personally really happy with and pleasantly surprised by the price point, but that's all I'll say.

Yeah metal flake is apparently really hard to spray properly. It is, however, objectively the best finish for that guitar.

I'm still thrilled I grabbed my silverburst sparkle when I did as that particular guitar is, and will remain to be, part of the "keeper" group! Seriously one of the best Jacksons I've ever played, sounds great for everything! The finish looks AMAZING in person too, the huge flakes really catch the light and reflect it back perfectly!

Any chance any of your siggy's will be released with Floyd'ed versions?

I don't know, there aren't plans for that anytime soon, so if it happens at all it likely won't be for a while.

 

[Black_Sheep]

I hope the pricetag is not "suspiciously low" , im guessing around 1500€ ?

Looks great imo might get one if i haven't saved enough for the "real" one by the time this gets released

 

[Passtheapathy]

I'm going to guess like $1200-1300. Including Juggernauts in a guitar anywhere around that price is an insanely good value.

That 7 looks like something I might be interested in. I don't generally like Jackson's aesthetics but this headstock and the traditional inlay... why not.

Wheel truss rod adjustment is a plus. How's their neck profile ?

Wheel Truss Rod should be on every guitar ever, but I only have the power to enforce them on mine haha.

Neck profile is thin but not too thin, c shaped, and I'm kinda loving the feel of no binding so much on the Pro series that I may have the USA updated to match haha.

This looks AWESOME. Now do I stick with my original plan of getting a frost blue ht6 or spring for one of the pros? Hmmmm...
