But they couldn't have been around back then, Jackson was born out of a need for improvement on the classic designs. Better hardware, easier to play necks, more aggressive body styling, etc. Without Gibson and Fender, Jackson would have had no basis. After all, Rhoads was a big Gibson player and the Concorde was very Gibson like but with extra qualities that no Les Paul had. Having said that, it is interesting to see "classic" players evolving into Super Strats. Look at JY from Styx, his Kramer was used live for most of their shows in the early to mid 80's. Even Slash went to a BC Rich Mockingbird with Floyd for a while with GnR."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..."

"Even Slash" played 2 Jacksons (Firebird and Soloist) and had various other 'metal' guitars as well. It was only when he recorded Appetite that he got into LPs.Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

while i agree with charvel750, i'll play into the scenario. i would say that hendrix, as a player that took the instrument into new realms of sonic abuse, would more than likely been a floyd abuser. page, not so much so...some guys stay with traditional instruments, even if there are better options.GEAR:
some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!
some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!
and finally....
i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

Hendrix would have played one simply because he could get a Custom Shop lefty and not have to flip his right handed Strats over anymore
After Rhoads launched Jackson, everyone had to have one! I think many of those guys listed above would have at least tried one, heck Jeff Beck didRudy

If they had been around when Yngwie started playing, he probably would have never scalloped a neck. Strats have those tiny little frets that give you less control, but if he had owned a Jackson with jumbos...Member - National Sarcasm Society

I traded it back in three days later for an import Kramer Focus 1000. I still have that guitar and I've never regretted the trade.Member - National Sarcasm Society
