NGD - Long awaited Jackson content....

[MrPowers]

Checked FedEx tracking yesterday and to my surprise, this package was supposed to get here a day early. It worked out perfectly because I was planning to be home most of the day.

I've been waiting on this guitar since February and man was it worth it.

A little closer....

So what could it be?

This guitar really is my dream 7. I've been waiting for Jackson to release a 7 string version of the DK2M since I bought my first 7 (Schecter Hellraiser) over 2 years ago. I jumped on it the very first chance I got and I got a fairly good deal for preordering it. It's everything I hoped it was and more. It plays great, even easier than the Loomis I have. It's not quite finished on par with the Loomis, but I honestly couldn't care less. This guitar is awesome either way!

The only two flaws I've found so far are just little dark discoloring's on the neck and right above the neck pickup.

The other one is too small to photograph. Overall I'm very happy! Thanks Gearhounds for getting me one as quick as you did!

Sorry SSO for the IPhone pics, I dont have a good camera readily available and am by no means a photographer. If you want more or have questions just let me know and I'll do my best! I'm going to try to upload some sound clips of it if I can here this week!

Edit: Here are the family shots!

Sweet grab, white + maple is something that every guitar player should indulge in at least twice.

Digging the rigs too, loves me some orange cabs.

The 6505 & Orange isn't actually mine. That is my friend's who has been rehearsing with me to potentially join my band on rhythm guitar.

I love that headstock, actually. HNGD buddy!

 

[ddk]

damnnn love the fretboard and the bridge and the white... so clean and pristine... i want it HNGD

 

[RuffeDK]

Dude, it's screaming for white pickups! A solid 7/10, would play! HNGD

 

[Daf57]

Congrats!! That is one sharp Jackson, Jack!

 

[Larrikin666]

Very nice. I had a 50/50 shot preordering from Sweetwater over Gearhands. Usually, that's the right call. Gearhounds ended up having these for less money and got them out faster.

 

[LolloBlaskhyrt]

That's great! Also an awesome collection, dude!

I think I'm going to put some white Duncans in it. I'm not really digging the D'Activatiors. They are very trebly and controlled ("Djenty"). They just aren't really my thing. The Pegasus I have in the Schecter Loomis sounds much fuller and meaner.

Any chance of some shots of the neck heel?

Hopefully these work for you. The heel really isn't as big of a problem as it seems. The contour is just right to rest your palm on when you get to the higher frets. It's very comfortable.

You darn americans, always getting the good stuff before the rest of us. European retailers still don't even have an estimate release date.
It looks really neat, congrats.

 

[Mklane]

Very nice, damn Jackson GAS gets me every time!

 

[GiantBaba]

That looks great. I like the white binding on the maple neck, very unorthodox but it works.
