I've never had a problem getting good sounds from basswood guitars

These things look great, but does Jackson plan on making any more shapes? I know a lot of people here who would want a RR7.
these dont look bad! and ive played a lot of jacksons and i cant say ive ever played one i hated. but my only concern is where are these going to be made? i hope they arent going to jump on the "made in china" bandwagon to save money, like esp did with ltd. i just cant justify supporting any musical equipment made in china!

It's probably India like the rest of the current X-Series.

Given the pretty awesome reviews so far, I'm not inclined to give much of a fuck where its made as long as it plays good.
Besides, they're still in line with other companies at that price point, and IIRC Schecter has moved some production to that area as well.
Jackson has been making guitars in India for years now. This isn't anything new.
Nothing is stopping anyone from buying similar guitars via the USA CS, you're just going to have to support buying first world.

i guess i just never realized it. so my question would be was the slsmg3 made in india? the white one.
Pretty sure they were made in Japan, but I'm no expert.

My SLSMG and SLS3 were made in Japan
Wow, you dont see too many guitars with a humbucker in the neck & middle position; but no bridge pickup... interesting...Also:

I just got word that these will definitely be made in China and should be available in the fall, with the 8s following shortly thereafter

Honestly I've played some pretty awesome MIC guitars. But as always, try before you buy.

That's slightly upsetting. However, I guess if the quality is ok and they aren't treating their workers like shit then I'm ok with it. I'm just skeptical when it comes to anything made in China due to the bad rep that many factories there have in terms of workers' rights.
Foxconn/Apple products, anyone?
That being said, if the reviews are good I may spring for one. I don't know why they couldn't have done white binding though. Black binding on rosewood is sort of lame.

It's weird, isn't it? I noticed that when I first saw one of those a few weeks ago. That is actually a bridge pickup, but I don't know why they spaced it so far from the bridge saddles. I'm betting maybe to give it a bit more bottom end? I'm curious to see what it sounds like but that pickup position may make it too muddy.
