Found one of the things about Abigail working for Jackson,
She was laid off at Fender in 1985. She acutally ended up working at the Jackson Custom Shop and winding pickups there. I belive John Page hired her during his tenure at Jackson. You occasionally find Jackson guitars with warranty cards that she has signed.
Custom aftermarket graphic for about $1500 on a guitar that would cost about $1000 is still cheaper than $3500 for a Custom Shop.
In my experience, the custom shop Charvels w/ graphics are selling for a lot less than that. A lot less. And the used ones on EBAY have sold for $1100, $1200, $1300, $1400 the last few months (I'm referring to Desolation Alley, Hot Rod Pins, Tollkeeper, etc. with a relic'd Hot Rod Flames at $1500). Obviously, you can't be very picky about it, bu I don't think the prices are out of reach.

So,to stay on the subject: Anyone else counting down the days to Tues 7/15?
I sure am. I wanna know the actual price before I order. If it's what I think it will be I already have enough to afford it.

"OK, we can both have Ben..joint custody. I'll have him on the weekends. We could go out in my Cobra and give people the finger..weather permitting of course.." -Bill Z. Bub
Actual Price is $999 USD. That was confirmed by a dealer.
Ok, thanks. Darn I'm 200 bucks short.

Silly question, and probably already answered, but will standard Floyded Strat (USA or import) pickguards retrofit to the SoCals and the screw holes line up?
I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

In one of the thread I asked that and yes you can.
