How long did it take to sell 30(?) of those guitars?
It's got to be over a year.
Just curious. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

I bought one with the first group of JCF'ers and sold mine to a JCF member soon after. Nice Guitar, I just had another direction to go at that time.

Re: GX Bullseye Ltd edition query

I wanted one of those when GXpress started the run but I lacked the funds. Then when I saw all the positive rant about the guitar and that there were two left I had to have it. Not to mention the fact I have been waiting a year and a half already for a custom Charvel strat from Guitar Asylum. God I remember walking into Sam Ash in NYC in 1984 every weekend and it was just wall to wall 3 rack deep Charvel strats and Jacksons with graphics. What happened to all those guitars?

Tracy and Kev - GREAT write up and pics! Again, an awesome website and a phenomenal resource.

I'm confused by a couple of minor nits about the Bullseye "differences", though.

- The tuners have Jackson logos on them, but I thought they're still the same Gotohs? Just like the originals? Don't let that little film logo fool you. (It peels right off, BTW.)

- Re: the smaller cavity route. Although less commonly-used than the bigger "Ontario" route now, I didn't think J/C ever truly stopped using it for some bolt-ons? My DK1 has it. As, I believe, have other models before then, too. Mid-90s DR2 and the earlier HSS DK1. Possibly more?

Re: GX Bullseye Ltd edition query

correct the tuners ARE different..they are NOT the same as the originals (nonlogo'd Gotohs) and the set screw is in a different position on these Jackson tuners vs the original Gotohs

Re: GX Bullseye Ltd edition query

[img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] Doh! Forgot about the screw position. Sorry about that!

I wonder if they're the same model tuner, though, and Gotoh just changed 'em at some point over the years. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] ...Where are the Gotoh experts when you need them? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: GX Bullseye Ltd edition query

Gotoh still makes them the old way (SG36). The SG381 just sort of became the 'standard' key at some point around the same time Jackson switched.
