News on Jackson for 2017

[XMetalcheFX]

I'm still trying to figure out how Jackson Guitars can be so simple looking yet so F*****G incredible at the same time.

I sense some pro warriors in my future...

Ans even though Jackson is my favourite guitar company of all time,
I won't ever understand how Jackson ....ed with so many awesome artists
in the early 2000s. I mean if they just made Alexi a new Wildchild RR24 they could still have him on their artist roster.
I mean the ESP/LTD Alexi sigs are one of the best selling signature guitars ever,
with only dudes like the Kirk Hammet and James hetfield guitars selling more.
They were so retarded letting him go, but they ....ed with literally every outstanding musician in the early 2000s.
I mean you just have to look at the old MIJ RR24 "pseudo Alexi Sig".
They sold like hell.

I'd love to see Stone again.
His own band Roope had before he went on with COB.
But as it seems, Roope has retired. In terms of music.
By the way: The Stone music is great.

In the time between Stone and COB he was also in Waltari which did a lot of great and weird stuff, my favorite being YEAH! YEAH! DIE! DIE! (Death metal symphony in deep C) and Evankeliumi:

Agreed. But i think their biggest loss is Dave Mustaine

 

[Metal Mortician]

Agreed. But i think their biggest loss is Dave Mustaine

That's because he wanted to buy the company before it sold to FMIC. Sour Grapes? This is also the same dude that left ESP because he didn't want to be affiliated with the same guitar company as Metallica.

 

[starkill]

Agreed. But i think their biggest loss is Dave Mustaine

Yeah, him too. Jackson ....ed literally everything in the early 2000s.
I'd still love to know who was responsible for artist relations, I'd love to
give that turd a proper beating. I mean how can a company so retarded
and literally throw tons of potential sold instruments into the dumpster.
I mean imagine, a full line of Dave and Alexi Laiho signatures. I mean especially
with Alexi Laiho it wasn't a big thing. He got his original Wildchild CS stolen
and he was about to tour and needed a new one quickly and Jacksons was like, "no go f*ck yourself".
And after then ESP was like "yeah, we build you one in a couple of days" > ESP Alexi Scythe was born.

And yeah, Dave should'be bought that company instead of retarded Fender.

But that was a whole other story.
Dave had a bond with Jackson, really.
Sure, the ESP thing was childish, but you can't compare that.
Jackson was (and is still sometimes) f*cking really hard with people.
They're just decades behind other big companies, especially ESP,
in terms of artist relations. ESP literally throws signatures at people,
and this is, you have to admit, the right way these days.

Metallica is probably one reason. But he has also acclaimed that he dosent like the shape of his ESP sig to be bigger than jackson V.

 

[manu80]

Never heard that " affiliated with metallica at esp" thing
Lot of artists say it's complicated to hve what you want at esp because it takes a lot of time
The axxion sold bad, his V's were too big ald dean offered him a good deal so he left is what i heard ( i don't say that what tou re syaing is wrong
Just the first time i read that

Has something been announced I'm unaware of?! Also 7 string Pro warrior. Come on world.

 

[Andromalia]

Agreed. But i think their biggest loss is Dave Mustaine

I'd say it's Jeff Hanneman. Mustaine didn't really sell lots of guitars.

 

[Possessed]

I'd say it's Jeff Hanneman. Mustaine didn't really sell lots of guitars.

Then Dean is very stupid to pay top dollars to have Mustaine as their no.1 artist

Hanneman soloist is nice. But talk about the endorsers of jackson before 2000, Mustaine is surely the no.1. Maybe Phil Collen can compete!

Holy ..... There is so much stuff that I want in there. But seriously, no Pro kelly or warrior still?

My favorites:

That's probably because he was all they could get at the time and they were looking for a dime replacement.
And, for once, I don't think they really pay top dollar, Dean likely doesn't have the financial power of the big boys, and especially not ESP. I doubt he left over money. I also doubt he left because of Metallica, who had been using ESP way before Mustaine got there. If he didn't want to have the same brand, he wouldn't have come from the start.

 

[xzacx]

That slab top X series Kelly is great. Love all the reverse headstock Rhoads. That stop-tail/TOM KV is killer too except I'm not a fan of those inlays. Other than the expected disappointment when it comes to new USA-made models, there is some really cool stuff in there.

 

[Mathemagician]

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

 

[starkill]

Holy Moly
This line up is strong as f*ck.
I can't see any company top that.
