News on Jackson for 2017

[kevdes93]

Loving the ash top 7, the rosewood top one looks killer too

Welp I'm buying that Laiho V, and waiting for a Pro warrior next year.

It is not an Alexi sig.
With the reversed headstock, Blackouts and the HH config
it's not even close.

Damn, Jackson has some insane guitars this year.

The PRO Series Rhoads looks unbelieveable - just like i would order one from the custom shop.

It even has a reversed headstock and a oiled neck

 

[Blood Tempest]

Seriously awesome stuff coming from Jackson this year. VERY impressed!

Did anyone notice the headstock looking a little wonky on the orange DKA8M? Or is it just me?

Yeah it looks a little off, I think it's the 8 string configuration that makes it look kinda chubby

 

[oracles]

The DK7QHT is really about the only new offering I'm interested in. With a pickup swap, it'd make for a good backup to my Aristides 070 and aging RG7421.

Would've loved to see a pro series KE and WR, but I was never holding my breath for that to happen.

I thought the same until I compared it to the JS version's headstock.

Also, dem seemingly LARGE pickup routs on the JS WEW

I was actively teasing you. I know it's not, basswood and blackouts (ew on the blackouts imo). Just having fun. I seriously do like it.

I know, and I wanted to bitch haha.
No, but beautiful guitar anyway.
But I'll buy the green one because I have a yellow one already.
But the main design of the green one is definetily ripped off
his actual ESP Alexi Greeny, the green sharkfin inlays told it haha.

 

[wannabguitarist]

I got super excited and (stupidly) thought this was the return of the Fusion at first, but it's still a gorgeous Dinky. Natural finish>flamed veneers all day.

Jackson really needs to bring back short scaled super strats. The world needs more

 

[manu80]

Saw the catalog one week ago.But couldnt say anything as i promised my dealer
The kelly is cool, and that Waggoner rhoads style too
The rest... average
Jackson should stop putting duncan design on thei x series for the price like on the scott ian...

 

[arasys]

Jackson.. literally killed it this year, holy crap! those RRs, King V, Gus Gs! Charcoal Grey on RR and Soloist look amazing. I was hoping for a fixed bridge 7 string RR, very nice.. Okoume DK7 looks nice as well.

*breathing heavily, trying not to look at my wallet*

 

[StrmRidr]

Also, I must say that I am quite disapointed in the Pro HT6 color options. I wish it had the same color options as the 7 string.

Gotta save something for next year I really like the gunmetal finish. Someone posted a quote from a dealer saying the price will be $799. With a price like that I'm intrigued but I need to know more about those pickups.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I was afraid the Marty Friedman Monarkh was going to be 24 frets...

But...

It's 22 frets.

I ....ing need it now.

On top of that...

Essentially an old school Alexi with the things I would want on a RR anyways??? FUAAAARK, GAS is RAGING! And whatever this is...

 

[arasys]

EMG also has a new page for Marty Friedman signature set

(alnico 5 magnets like Seymour Duncan JB)

 

[NeglectedField]

Tasty hardtails! Wish there were some HSS hardtails though. Just as well ESP/Schecter has that covered.

 

[manu80]

Looking at it the KV is just a variation of scott ian's sig ...

 

[XMetalcheFX]

Wow really cool stuff going on. Those charcoal guitars are sick. I am a little disappointed they didn't release a warrior in that scheme considering the success of the Dave Davidson.

Guess I am waiting till summer.

Is it just me or is that Head stock on the "Telly" .....Off?
