Re: the coolest pointy ever made

Sorry guys... but BLOOD SPLATTER'S original "Big Mouth" is hands down the coolest pointy anywhere.

agreed, it is bad to the bone, but the sub can fire missiles that will destroy all others.

that's just me though.

It is very cool to see your dream before you shell out the down payment though.

it is very uncool to see one of your dreams hanging somewhere else. it's in a good home though.

(I think that Jackson bolt-ons are just Charvels with the wrong decal and I recall that a bunch of Jackson bolt-ons after the '86 move have the neck plate to prove it [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] )

Re: the coolest pointy ever made

That is almost correct. There are a handful of guitars out there labeled Jackson with Charvel neckplates.
After Grover made the deal with IMC to have Charvels made in Japan in '85, the US shop continued to build bolt-on strat style guitars putting the Charvel neckplates left over on Jackson logo'd guitars. There are probably only a hundred or so out there built this way before they got the Jackson neckplates.
As the Jackson serial numbers started with 1000 roughly, this predated the move to Ontario by a few months. 1505 was the first Ontario built guitar.
I agree that the low number Jackson bolt-ons were indeed Charvels with a Jackson logo, but later guitars, and certainly Ontario built guitars started straying further and further away from the Charvel build quality and ideal using in house pickups and trems and cranking production numbers up to meet demand. The materials quality (wood) and build quality began to suffer.
Ontario bolt-on Jackson strats are still way undervalued on the market and are great guitars in their own right, but for the most part don't stand up to a direct comparison to the San Dimas stuff.
Just my opinion, YMMV, ETC.
