your choice for a spokesperson...

[semagic]

with all the buzz about artist deals, signings, endorsements... if you had to choose ONE person that does or could capture what jackson is all about... who would it be?

i'll ask first... tell my pick later.

[Goolash]

Mark Morton seems to be the chosen guy on the website.

[quiksilver]

I say connect with a young virtuoso, like Ibanez did with Vai. They have staying power. I'll pick Troy Stetina.

[VitaminG]

Stetina, a young virtuoso? The dude's gotta be in his 40s now. Speed Mechanics is 17 years old this year.

how about.....the product itself representing what Jackson is all about?

The problem is finding someone who believes in the long-standing company philosophy of "we don't pay 'em, they just play 'em", and that's hard to find because ESPee and Ibenhad and Gibson and even Fender will dump a ton of money and freebies on anyone who rises above the crowd.

Well, I wish it was Jeff Hanneman, but he plays ESP`s. I wish Jackson would go after him. Not sure if he would fly with the young crowd though. Jack.

GALDER!!!

[Nazgul]

Galder is playing ESPs now.

[Newc]

Galder is playing ESPs now.

There is a God, and He is indeed merciful

[TrendkillDBD]

+1 on Morton or Hanneman

[Lazarus]

I like Mark Morton

[joshulator]

In my opinion, I think letting Rusty Cooley go was a big mistake. I agree with Quiksilver that Jackson should get some fresh blood. There haven't been a whole bunch of recent guitar heroes, but Rusty is definitely one of them. I also think his new signature is uber well thought out. I wish it was a standard Jackson USA or Pro model.

[Norton]

Jeff Loomis.

[straycat]

Galder what a fruitcake.Someone needs to drive a nail through the head of his schlong.Sorry I'm just ranting (a little)

[Racerx2k]

GALDER!!!

Galder? Man, I thought that was the dude from the movie POWDER!
