New Jackson X Series 7 string

[groverj3]

Oh, I know GC CAN order them, just our local ones WON'T unless you buy one. Since I won't be buying one through them...

Gotcha. Yeah, its not like they wouldn't sell it to someone else eventually even if you didn't buy it. I don't know why they are so hung up on this.

I havent seen them on GC or anything yet but Sweetwater has the black one up so you can at least try one and have them order another model if you like it.

Posting this for everyone's convenience but mostly because I want one

So does anyone know for sure whether or not the headstocks will be matching?

 

[Tranquilliser]

Gimme one in Silver or Green, please.

Looks to be only for the white and matte black one so far. I do believe the back of the neck will be painted to match though from what I can see of the side of the headstock on the slime green one there.

Odd, in that Thomann it looks like the pup spacing hasn't been fixed so that's probably an older picture.

Just a heads up before another sea of "OMG PICKUP POSITION" posts

The silver one with the trem will be mine!

 

[Djentliman]

that orange one on the far left. hands down.

 

[MASS DEFECT]

as soon as this comes out, im ordering that satin black one.

then probably a stewmac ebony fretboard dye too. )

The silver one with the trem will be mine!

My thoughts exactly.

 

[TasmanSam]

If I ever had the opportunity I would probably grab the slime green one

 

[Steve-Om]

the green one with trem please

Hm...slightly disappointing. Those Thomann pics are definitely a little old, and I seem to recall seeing a more recent pic of the trans black model complete with matching trans black quilt on the headstock. I could be wrong, but here's hoping.

Either way, it's far from a dealbreaker for me. I WILL have one.

One of the 6 string versions is up on Ebay. Can't read the sticker on the back of the headstock to figure out the country of origin. Unless you can "enhance" it somehow... hey, it works in the movies .

zoomed as best as i could. it doesnt look that it says "made in china".

looks like starts with an "I" but too long for it to be India. Indonesia?

That's kind of what I was thinking. These would be the first Jacksons made there if so.

I'm going to ask the seller, can't hurt.

Edit: Question sent

 

[groverj3]

Just got a reply from the seller. Indonesia it is.

Mystery solved!

Edit: More have shown up. Mysteriously the 7 string version has the weirdo bridge pickup placement we were all bitching about. I wonder if this random dude from Idaho that's selling them got his hands on prototypes or something...

Yeah what's up with that? Maybe they're using older stock photos? That's also a REALLY dark Silverburst
