Post Your GAS

[KnightBrolaire]

It's the only 7-string warrior in Jackson's range, so it makes sense from a business perspective that it is in the most popular scale. 99% of people playing 7s do so in B standard, drop A, A standard or drop G#, for which the scale is perfect. Very few will venture below G on a 7 to justify manufacturing a longer scale instrument.

except 25.5 isn't the most popular scale for 7 strings anymore. All the other major manufacturers (schecter, esp, ibanez) make 26.5" 7 strings. 25.5" scale 7 strings are relatively uncommon on the market anymore. Hell jackson already makes 7 string multiscales that use 26.5" for the low end, so it's not like they can't or won't do it.

The vast vast majority of Ibanez ans esp 7s are still 25.5.

Oh damn!

This. I'd wager that there are more 7321's and indo 7421's in the wild than non-25.5"-scaled guitars combined.

I LOVE the preamp/midboost switch (especially the location!)... it's like having a TS built in (or having the Clapton mod).

Have you seen all the JT guitars that Wildwood Guitars is selling?

He makes killer Tele style too!


I know @Randy will disagree but...I still don't dig the headstock that looks like it wasn't finished being carved yet.

 

[LuciusBolt]

I know this is a one off and is no longer available. But this looks very cool I guess

I like the color on this as well, I definitely rock a hot pink guitar ha ha

Final One - That wicked oxblood finish, Plus even though I don't play 8 strings this is still very cool

Every time I see an 080s, I feel the lust...

Actually, on top of this... Been wanting to try an LTD VIper as well

Specifically an old VB, Viper-1000, or AL-600

I was thinking about a Black Metal Viper the other day but the neck dive would probably be even worse with one pickup

Yeah that's also what worries me. Kinda unsure if I want a Viper, a black Custom-esque Eclipse, or a cherry sunburst Eclipse.

 

[MAJ Meadows SF]

I don’t know why, but I want one.

I've been on the fence about these until Kyle Rasmussen tried one and sadly related it to "feeling like a toy". That's of course compared to the custom shop Jackson's, but that note was a let down. Still, I'm sure with some TLC they can absolutely rip. It's the only Warrior 7 they offer, and it's a Warrior, so win.

I've been meaning to try the Imperiums. How are you digging those? Mild GAS for both.

 

[Crash Dandicoot]

Yes, please.

No clue who that is, but I already assumed it’s probably going to need a little work. I recently installed a 7 String Set in my H-207, so I’ve got to try both now. They are really close to each other, which I liked, since 6 and 7 string pickups can vary a lot within the same model line. I think they work great for the type of stuff Dave plays. The bridge maybe isn’t as hot as you would think, not BW type sizzle, but not weak either. Handles chords well and they are articulate. Not quite as bright as the either, but overall I dig them.

It's weird, because I've been hearing nothing but mixed-to-meh things about Jackson's QC lately. Yet I'm hearing nothing but amazing things about Charvel. Aren't they all made in the same plant for the most part?

 

[Vyn]

Big hankering for one of these at the moment:

Yeah I don't know what's going with Jackson, they just don't seem to have the same QC as Charvel. Even when I've found subpar Charvels, they're still not as bad as some of the Jacksons I've played. Low end jacksons are consistently worse than other cheap guitars ime.

Ugh that finish looks so good on an RG, wish Ibanez would make this a standard finish option for prestiges.

 

[lurè]

Remotely thinking about a rackmount rig, something like triaxis+2:50 but the last think I need is a stereo rig.
It would be cool just for the pics:c dude with the arm standing on a 20U rack.
