  • New to this wonderful board : hope it's the right place to introduce myself.

    Hello everybody,

    I'm new to the board (registered yesterday), but I've been consulting this forum every day for at least two years. A lot of great people here [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img] !

    I'm a huge fan of Jackson since 1996. I own only one Japanese Jackson, a 1996 Dinky DX1 in tobacco sunburst. That's an incredible guitar for the price. At the time I purchase it, I tried everything, including ibanez [img]graemlins/puke.gif[/img] . No comparison! I also have a korean BC Rich (my first guitar), a spanish classical guitar and an ibanez RG7 620 (what a pity that Jackson do not make 7 strings anymore [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] ).

    Concerning Fender, I have to say that in France, the situation is way better since jackson belongs to them. Before Fender, the suggested price for a soloist in solid color was 4500€, after Fender, the suggested price for a soloist with graphic is less than 3000€. And you can now find jacksons everywhere, even in small town (less than 35000 inhabitants), I found a new SL1 trans blue. First time I played a USA Jackson : forget about everything else : US Jackson rules the world [img]graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] .

    This summer, I will certainly order a SL2H pile'o, but before, I will try to have a quote for a custom shop soloist with the Hellraiser graphic (the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen!).

    So I hope that it was the right place to introduce myself to all of you.

    [img]graemlins/help.gif[/img] If it's possible, can you put all the most beautiful photos of soloist with pile o skulls and with the Hellraiser graphic. Thanks.
    What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"? I talk to him every day.

    Welcome Sly. And be warned Jacksons are addictive
    as I'm sure others here will atest to.
    SL1's and the rest of the USA Jacksons do rule the world glad you noticed.

      Since Fender is in the equation, Why don't they start making the old style Charvel headstocks again? By the way, welcome Sly. Fender really needs to re-invent themselves.

                <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It is brand recognition. The strat-style headstock is more recognizable as a Fender. Just as the pointed headstock is for Jackson/Charvel.

                There are some of us who still want the novelty of having the strat head Charvel, but in the business world, it's just not smart.

                  Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

                    The original Pile O':

                    "Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,
                    Gotta get away from here.
                    Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
                    Waitin' for the sun to appear..."

                          Hello everybody,

                          Here is a the pic of my DX1 tobacco sunburst. Looks like it cost twice the price I paid for it. I just changed the bridge pickup to a duncan distortion TB6. I love this guitar. The japanese Dinky looked better at this time because the hardware was black. It would have been better for me if they had put black hardware on the select series with flame top, but I could not decide for everything.
