Body type

[Jacksonguy666]

This is simlar to another thread. But what drew your attention to your favorite body shape? (preferably jackson) Be it looks, comfortability either sitting or standing, weight, or an artist. Mine is the firebird because of tone, sitting, standing, and OF COURSE looks.

Mine is the fusion because of tone, sitting, standing, and OF COURSE looks.

haha OF COURSE
I think fusions are sick because of the shorter scale.

Possibly death kelly or warrior. In all realness the differant shapes arent going to make a huge differance in tone but I like the looks and theyre stable while standing.

[RR666]

Warrior, looks sick, comfy to sit with. Then Rhoads.

[Grandturk]

Strat. Because Leo got it right 55 years ago.

[The Rossness]

The Star

[Phantom Hawk]

The Warrior. I'd had RR's before, so I knew how great Jacksons played, but I got my first Warrior just 'cuz I thought it was the coolest looking guitar around. I was surprised at how comfortable it was to play, being how oddly shaped it is, and have been hooked on 'em ever since.

[Mazrim]

King V. Its a flying V with all the bullshit chopped away.

[Gartron]

The 3-dr for me ..I love how small the body is on it

[peabuddy]

concert bass for me please

[wilkinsi]

Warrior. It's by far the most comfortable guitar I've ever played. And of course it looks great.

The Dinky / Soloist body style rules all others. It covers all of the bases, including the coolness factor. That's not just my personal opinion - that's just plain fact, as evidenced by J/C sales.

pfffft whatever....it IS a fact in your opinion

The strat is the number one selling body style out there. Sure a LOT of them are lower end/beginner guitars, but they outsell every other body style out there.

The only reason that the dinky is Jackson's #1 seller is because its the closest to the strat shape that they make.

Any of the full size strats are CS pieces or US Charvels and are out of reach for a lot of people moneywise.

If all of J/C dinky were regular strats size guitars as opposed to dinky's, and the dinky could only be had via CS or high end USA models, don't you think that the full size strat would top their sales? There are two reasons that the dinky shape sells so well. Number one is that is is shaped like a strat. Number two is because it can be had for cheap. Put those two together, and you've got a winner.

And yes the full size strat is my favorite style.

I was only speaking about Jackson / Charvel body styles. So, yes, if you count all guitar maufacturers out there, the full-sized Strat-style is by far the most popular of all.

Using your logic, J/C should switch all Soloist / Dinky production to full-sized Strat bodies to increase their overall sales like other manufacturers. Somehow I don't think that would work. :think:

The Soloist / Dinky body is a cool original J/C design, and that's why it is so successful and their best seller. And that's also why you won't ever see them replace Soloists and Dinkys with Strat...errr..."San Dimas" bodies. I like Strat bodies a lot, too. But I'll take a Dinky or Soloist body any and every day of the week, instead.
