HNGD! One of these and a KV1 are on my list to order from Jackson, eventually.

Play all of Rust In Peace.

 

[Blue1970Cutlass]

Love it! The Kelly doesn't seem to get enough attention imho

 

[Meemat]

Am I going insane or are there only 23 frets?

 

[Floppystrings]

Simple, but effective in being awesome.

You should be proud.

Nope, you're not crazy. This was a real sore point for me when it came in. I had to make the decision, do I accept it, or do I send it back to be rebuilt? It's a neck-through, so there would be some major work involved in redoing this. I had to decide, did I want to wait another 90203420340923x10^10000000 years for Jackson to rebuild this and get it back to me? Was one fret worth it? Ultimately, I decided it wasn't.

To those of you considering Jackson CS builds, I'll let the following pictures speak for themselves...


First, there is this...

Then, this is what I got...

But supposedly, it went through this...

LOLwut

awesome quilt and axe overall, but:

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

i'd be be fucking pissed if i was you dude, that is unacceptable on even the cheapest of imports but to have it on a custom shop is absurd.

 

[maliciousteve]

That's really bizarre. I'd be pissed too but I couldn't send it back or get it rebuilt considering their wait times. At least it's still playable and looks awesome

 

[Possessed]

Sorry man, i am amazed about the QC of jackson. I am luck that my CS jackson has zero mistakes. Anyhow, this guitar will become really one-off with 23 frets though

 

[Nag]

HNGD ! but I have to ask about one thing : how is the neckdive ?

 

[djpharoah]

Wow nice guitar but someone at Jackson is asleep while they were inspecting that.

 

[Eclipse]

Looks sweet!

 

[Valennic]

23 frets? .

How on EARTH can you .... that one up . Either way, it's a gorgeous instrument, and I'd talk to Matt and Jackson about a partial refund for waiting two years to lose a fret.

 

[jahosy]

I'm a jackson fan and love their cs but to wait two years for them to stuff it up, they shld make it a priority to fix it up not wait another two yrs.

Otherwise hngd mate!

 

[CrushingAnvil]

Congrats.

I'm like...angry...about not having a sweet ....ing Kelly like that.

 

[CrushingAnvil]

awesome quilt and axe overall, but:

This.

WHAT THE F*UCK.

That is such bullshit. Now I'm a different kind of angry. Can Jackson pull their god-damned fingers out? Jesus....ingchrist.jpg

Someone was asleep when they built it and when they inspected it.

I keep wondering what the thought process was of the guy who fretted this? "23 frets... yep, seems right to me."

Like I said, it was either accept that it's 23 frets, rather than 24, or go through the painful process of trying to get this fixed. I figured, screw it. Lesson learned.

And this is only half of what I put up with when dealing with the Jackson CS. You guys don't want to hear the full story...

 

[Epstein]

Kind of reminds me how old Fenders had 21 frets...

21 Fret Fenders & 23 Fret Jacksons... Coincidence?



Still can't deny though, that is a sweet axe. And don't forget, you can always just bend up.

My god man! So beautiful! HNGD!
