NGD: Jackson US Custom Shop 7. ARE YOU SERIOUS?

[Rayaus]

Wow, that quilt is absolutely epic! And on top of that, the natural wood back really makes a nice constrast with the rest. Congrats on your future NGD!

 

[Dan_Vacant]

That is the best looking Jackson ever Misha's sparkly one is the second though.

 

[s_k_mullins]

Fucking beyond perfect!! All the way around!

 

[Seanthesheep]

lol do I hear signature guitar?

 

[feilong29]

Prolly the MOST beautiful finish I've ever seen EVAR!

 

[ImBCRichBitch]

Fuck....... i need one of those.

...... And now i gotta clean off my keyboard.

 

[AfroSamurai]

That looks like a killer guitar. You should do a demo once you get it

BTW, did you get your Suhr?

I may be shameless but my reaction was to spec out a nearly identical Carvin DC700 to see how much it would fetch me. Deep purple quilt, mahogany neck and body, natural binding, TOM bridge, abalone inlays on the knobs, birdseye board... came out to a bit over $1500. Not to take anything away from this beautiful Jackson, but that sort of underscores why personally speaking, even if I could afford it, I'd probably never get a custom from any of the big manufacturers. I've no idea what Chris paid, but I wouldn't be surprised if three such Carvins could be had for the cost of this Jackson with change to spare.

 

[kn1feparty]

That is some serious fucking quilt, dude.

 

[noUser01]

Hate the knob placement, but everything else is gorgeous!!

 

[Koop]

That's unreal.

 

[dooredge]

Now that's a bad ass looking Jackson!

What's your point? You can buy like 15 Honda Civics or one Ferrari which would you get?

 

[troyguitar]

[heregoesnothing]

too fancy for my taste but it's just me, hot guitar!

I'd get the $150k semi-custom Ferrari instead of the $500k fully custom one

It's clearly a fine guitar, and very unique. I can totally see the value, for others, in spending the cash for a guitar that is truly one of a kind. In an axe like this you're not paying for a quantitative increase in the quality of materials and workmanship over high-end production or semi-custom guitars – it's simply not possible for the frets to be that much more perfectly leveled & crowned, for the tops to be that much more figured, or whatever. Instead, you're paying for the uniqueness and fully-custom nature of the instrument – along with the fact that it's made in the US (with a retail markup to boot), and that the queue for fully-custom production is very limited.

Anyway... it's a gorgeous and very unique axe. I've no doubt it's gonna scream.
