RR and Mustaine. Mustaine used to have a sunburst KV, that was awesome. (however it can be in the 90s)

Jon - Was it a custom or student King V?

Mustaine's sunburst was a King V Pro. Very cool guitar and not too expensive to get.

Man, it's hard to pick one. But when I saw Amir's name mentioned, I thought of an old GW of young guns that featured Warren, Lynch, Gilbert, etc. and had a pic of Amir with a doubleneck bomber-graphic Jackson that looked badass. Anyone remember that one?

I already voted for Rhoads, but Dweezil had the Madonna Jackson that I thought was cool back in the day.

I might be wrong on this but, wasn't Vai's pink soloist stolen?

It was but was later recovered. Just sold in an auction not too long ago for over 10K.

Hey hey. Everyone back in the day played Jackson and Charvel, so it's hard for me to pick just one-but I would say Robbin and Warren made me want Jackson's. You know I can't think of one metal band that did not play them back in the day. In fact most peoples signature models from other companies today are based off of there old Jackson's. Even if those were based off of Fenders...HAHAHAAA.
LATER!!!
