New Jackson X Series 7 string

[eaeolian]

Why? I suspect it will stay in tune as well as a 1000 series, based on the construction. The only difference are the zinc saddles and sustain block, so the saddles may wear our faster.

Why a fucking Floyd rose special bridge?why?

I´m sure that this fucking thing can´t stay in tune after 2 o 3 dive bombs...

I tested a Jackson KVX and other without the floyd and the quality was amazing, but i´m sure that this floyd can´t stay in tune.

Anyone with this floyd on and X series? tell us your experience...

Have you ever used one? Or are you "sure" it can't stay in tune because of your magical powers of divination?

I used that floyd on an LTD V 401 FM

SLATTXMG3-7 - KAWASABI GREEN!

Yes, yes, yes, yes and once again YES!

I believe this is a mistake. I don't see Kawasabi Green on my list of colors this is coming in. I'm going to check in to this.

EDIT: Confirmed that Kawasabi Green was a typo on the website. Sorry Dudes

EDIT2: I'm also trying to get a tentative release date for these

I'm loving that they are using the SLS headstock on more guitars but low grade rosewood fretboards... ehh.....

but hold on a second. jackson page says these are 26.5" scale? brilliant!

The floyd specials are just as good as any licensed bridge... Chill the !@#$ out. You want these to cost ~900? Because that's what they would be if it wasn't for the floyd special.

So torn!!!

On one hand, the Silverburst looks nice but on the other, I want it to have a trem. I'll probably just get a black one.

Or a used SLAT3-7.

Here's a video I made years ago about the Floyd special. You tell me if it can handle 2 or 3 dive bombs.

As much as i like these, id still buy an agile instead. I dont want to spend that much on a shitty basswood body.

I really dont get why so many people rag on Basswood so much.

low grade basswood never fails to sound bad, imo. low grade basswood... you could make the guitar out of foam and fiberglass instead and it wouldn't compromise the tone.

even high end basswood is not to my liking. even with nice pickups in my old RG or JP7 it never sounds that great for anything except shred noodling, and there are other woods (mahogany) that work for that and still give you better low end chunk

I can never get a satisfying low end out of basswood. In exception to some ibanez's which are hit and miss when it comes to that shit.

 

[Seanthesheep]

26.5" scale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[djpharoah]

You guys singing the basswood song snd dance need to remember that on neck thru guitars the neck wood dominates the tone so don't worry about the basswood wings.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Basswood hate? Is it 2006 again?
