What makes a Jackson a JACKSON?

[cfh^]

Skill to molest children and turning from black to white?

One of us had to say that

its the total package -not just the individual components.

Its not just the wood, neck , fretboard, electronics, vibe, tone etc

its the total package

If I took Jackson and removed the logo from the headstock, would it still sound and play the same? Of course it would. If I made a guitar from scratch to the exact same specs as Jackson could it play and sound the same as the Jackson? Yes, of course it could.

Listen, I love Jacksons and Charvels, have owned many over the years (including original San Dimas Charvels and Jackons) but at their core, they are the same as any other guitar - they are just wire and wood.

The only thing that makes a Jackson guitar a Jackson guitar is the name on the headstock. There's no magic that makes a Jackson special. It's purely psychological and while I agree that the logo on the headstock does make me look at a guitar differently, I acknowledge that fact.

Nothing but the name/logo, and the ONLY classy/sassy v in town, Yeah the Randy Rhoads models, the only Jackson/guitar I care about. Nothing is more cooler / Retro / modern, all in one pleasing gulp of happiness!

Give me a 80's SD plated USA Jackson and I'm set.Great necks and awesome graphics and tone for days.

The sharkfin inlays always drew me in for some reason.

But the feel of the necks sealed the deal.
