New Jackson X Series 7 string

[MaxOfMetal]

This is Jackson we're talking about, these won't be released until no one really cares about them anymore.

 

[eaeolian]

I should know by now to add at least 6 months to whenever they say something will be available.

 

[AndreasD]

Well, NAMM 13 it is

 

[Valennic]

I'm assuming the 7's will start at 700 or so for the solid color TOM models. I guess it's possible that they will price them the same as the 6-string stuff, but I doubt it. The Schecter C7 Hellraiser that they are competing against starts at 850.

Not according to some random Ukranian site. That being said, they've got pictures of most of the models, so I'd think it's probably pretty legit.

The bridge -> pickup distance is an absolute deal breaker. I can't imagine what prompted that.

 

[MFB]

Not sure if I should wait to check these out as a new 7, or just go with what's available now Damn you impulsiveness

I looked at some of my TOM guitars, and honestly, it's not that far away. It does look like it though, but most of my guitars are only maybe a centimeter closer

 

[MASS DEFECT]

They are back in the Jackson website. Now with pics.

[BucketheadRules]

Oh wow, they're doing these in bright green?

The level of win just SHOT up.

 

[BucketheadRules]

Also:

I like that. I agree that the bridge pickup looks a little weird being that far from the bridge though. The fact that Kawa green is available pleases me greatly.



Some new 6-strings too:

My favourite is still the green SLXT though. So help me Satan, I will own one of those soon.

SLATTXMG3-7 - KAWASABI GREEN!

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

 

[eaeolian]

Just like last year - make a video, don't talk about them at the show, release them after. Interesting marketing technique.

SLATTXMG3-7 - KAWASABI GREEN!

This is the moment I've been waiting for...

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...
