Body types

[Spivonious]

My friend and I were talking and I think Jackson can give you every general body style with the exception of an LP and an ES. Any ideas?

Strat - Dinky/Soloist
Explorer - Kelly
X - Warrior/Star
Tele - Model 7
SG - JJ
V - King V/Rhoads
Firebird = dominion
LP - JJR/Jazz'r
ES - ?

edit: added in missing ones.

You missed the Tommy Gun shape.

Jazz'r is pretty LP like

They did Custom Shop full-size LP shapes for Marty Friedman and Joey Z. from Life of Agony.
They also had the production JJP (Jackson Junior Paul) which I believe was originally for Joey Z. but it's more like an LP Jr. since it's a smaller body. I had a black one, it sounded and played great, just a little weird with a bolt-on painted neck.

Stabbed Poo?

RR-been copied by many
KV-V type

The old Charvel Model 1 & 3 more closely resemble a Strat, and although not the same shape, a hard tail 750 should satisfy most LP guys if they can land one.

Star, duh!

[Spivonious]

Star is an X shape IMO.

And how could I forget V!

That JJR fits the LP shape.

So all we need is an ES? A Jackson with f-holes would look really strange.

[Tricky]

No ES, Rickenbacker, ML, bich, Warlock, or Mockingbird type shapes & probably for the best.

Great thread!
Did Jackson ever do anything like a George Benson or Pat Methany style thicker bodied semi?

Yes, the one I landed does get the job done. To truely compare, I'd have to match pickups with one of my 4 LPs.

Sine the 750XL is a maple neck, it would match most closely to my 77 maple necked Custom, but it has rose wood and the LP has ebony...tailpiece vs. string through, etc.

Gets close, but none of my 4 LPs sound like each other, so why would the 750XL.

[Gibsonmac]

the surfcaster is pretty much an ES... its not a clone symmetrical double cutaway, but its a semi hollow body cutaway, and close enough to fill the need.

[Larz]

What about Zakk Wylde's coffin and V raping an SG guitar? :ROTF:

[Newc]

I don't think Jackson ever did a deep-body ES-type (Metheny, etc), not even as a Custom Shop. At least I've never seen a pic of one.

I would like to see a Jazz'R or MM1 that was 4"-5" deep, though.
