The Kiesel Guitars Custom Shop makes pro quality guitars, basses, pickups and accessories for musicians of all levels. Made in the USA, ...
Only thing is they are 25" scale, and no sharkies (although I like no inlays too).

But if the work order wasn't correct on the second guitar then yeah, that's not on their end. Of course, hard to give Jackson much credit when there wouldn't have been the need for a 2nd work order if they didn't fuck up the first one.

Well, my take on things is this...
Fuck ups happen every day to everybody from all walks of life. What separates unsuccessful people from the successful is how they take care of the fuck ups. Both Nick and Jackson working together are the only ones that can ultimately resolve this situation. I don't think Jackson owes it to anybody to respond officially on a public forum with regards to this situation. I do feel that they should definitely examine the situation here though as soon as the notice and escalate it internally so that it gets dealt with in a rapid fashion.
After all this was a company whose reputation was built around that concept that if you knew the product wasn't flawless, then the flawed product got band sawed. I think the other side of that though is that we all realize that humans make mistakes and sometimes you do need to be patient when you expect perfection to be delivered.GTWGITS! - RacerX

I'm particularly sensitive about Jackson volume knobs getting in the way, and can empathize there. When the center of the vol knob creeps up parallel to the hum pickup height adjustment screw, I start to have problems. This guitar has the controls slid forward a bit from what you asked for, but the vol knob is still slid back a bit from the "danger zone"._________________________________________________
