New Jackson Rhoads 7 Mark Heylmun (Suicide Silence) signature

[Emperoff]

Didn't see a thread on this. It looks pretty dope. It reminds me of old Alexi Laiho's Jackson and those ESP SVs. I'd preferred it to be MIK, but wouldn't mind to give it a spin. Ebony fingerboard is a nice touch considering the color scheme.

Oh shit

 

[nikt]

Looks classy. Very cool from Jackson!

 

[ExMachina]

Yea that looks awesome. They should make the imperial triumphant guys gilded V a sig.

 

[Vegetta]

Thats pretty nice. I love Vs but can't play them sitting down, so I have never bought one.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Yep that's sick

 

[OmegaSlayer]

Putting the Floyd Rose and pick ups on the headstock doesn't seem practical

 

[Kaura]

Reverse headstock.

 

[Emperoff]

Reverse headstock.

FTFY

 

[KnightBrolaire]

lowkey kind of want one

 

[cardinal]

Looks awesome.

Worry that a 26.5" 7-string V is going to neck dive badly...

Yeah that's my only concern about this guitar, besides the pickups. Otherwise this thing is like... perfectly spec'd.
Wonder if a Chris Garza sig is gonna happen eventually. Massive doubts, but it'll be cool.

 

[jephjacques]

That's a sick guitar for the money.

 

[Captain Shoggoth]

Oh fuck yeah, that is dope. You can see on the rear I think they've approximated the "invisible" fret access cutaway from his CS as well.



I'm the exact target demo for this... if I hadn't just bought an E-II Arrow 7 hahahahaha. Definitely would have bought one of these if I hadn't.

 

[Chiba666]

Ok this has jumped onto my GAS list now

 

[xzacx]

The long scale length ruins me actually wanting one, but this is so cool otherwise.

I'm picking this up despite owning several E-II Arrow 7s because with the way airlines are at the moment I'd rather lose one of these which is a current model than one of the Arrows which are increasingly hard to find

I’ve already raved about this in another thread, but god damn this is about as close to a perfect Rhoads as possible IMO.

I’d prefer passives and some inlays because I’m a Neanderthal and don’t look at side dots, but the scale is greatly tipping towards this being my next purchase.

[...] It looks pretty dope [...]

Fuck!

I ran out of excuses for my wife mid-January after getting a Heritage Custom.

Seven-string Rhoads?!

I need help.

 

[Thesius]

I don't think Vs and reverse headstocks should go together
