Matt at Matt's Music worked with me to get this done. Two years later, and here it is. Finally. Matt was great, and if you're thinking of going custom shop Jackson, he's the first guy you should hit up.

A Kahler. Got it. We can go home now.

(Never seen a Kahler KE1T in trans black, only KE1s with the Kahler)

Wow two years to get it done !! Does is means that guys like bulb wait the same time (he received 2 custom earlier this autumn) ?

Anyway, congrats, that top is just stunning.
HNGD !!!

Happy NGD man, looking good. But I'm thinking people like Bulb are the reason he had to wait so long :p Understandable from Jacksons point of view though.

Enjoy it man, love me a custom shop Jackson!

Awesome guitar! Why has the letters on the headstock logo different shades of White? Is your name Jack perhaps?

Thanks everyone! Funny story, I have two others on order, one of which I ordered six months before this one. Sort of interesting how Jackson schedules its builds. :scratch:

Haha. Ding ding ding ding!! :hbang:

See the quote above. :)

I'm pretty sure he doesn't wait two years. I've heard artist wait times are as low as 6 weeks.

It's mother of pearl, so it looks different at different angles, depending on the light. :yesway:
