Jackson Custom Shop San Dimas Strat or Charvel Custom Shop San Dimas Strat?

[RR3DKMG]

If you had to pick between A Jackson CS San Dimas Strat or a Charvel CS San Dimas Strat, which one would you go for? Ever since I bought Somewhere In Time, I saw a picture of Adrian Smith with his Jackson Stat and I wanted one, but Charvel's aren't seen as much anymore. So I find it difficult to choose but it would be interesting to see what everyone else would want. I'd probably get both eventually.

easy to get a jackson adrian smith.
Same guys make them so it doesn't really matter.

a Jackson Strathead is like a 700 upcharge from the custom shop

that is, no offense, a very ignorant statement... custom shop, and I speak from experience... I own more CS than USA's now days, are built to a much higher standard. "its the same guys building them" WWRROONNGG!!!! its the same building, same area-ish of the building, and that's it... the CS is Mike Shannon, Pablo, Red Dave, and like 2 other dudes (can't remember names) and they build ONLY Custom Shop Orders, NEVER USA productions, they have a different team.

The "Its built by the same people who built Randy's or Mustaine's or etc. guitars" is a sales ploy dealers use, they are built in the same FACTORY only, not the same builders...

The OP said the choice was between a CS Jackson and a CS Charvel, so Rich's statement was correct. How about working on your reading comprehension skills before calling people here out for "ignorant" statements.

FYI, The Adrian Smith signature guitar is a custom shop Jackson. I'll even give you a link to chubtones tour where he saw the CS guys making them.

It was a case of 4am insomnia and I didn't read carefully, no reason to get your panties in a bunch, I obviously miss read what you said.

no reason to get your panties in a bunch.

Really comes from the right person.

[toejam]

miss read

Who is she?

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

Who is she?

Hey, hey... Are we getting bunched-up panties in here?

Because my bunched-up panties detector is maxed out right about now.

[Grandturk]

Look - if the bunched up panties come out clean - you're in business. If they come out with skid-marks - run.

so instead of being condescending and calling me ignorant when you're tired(miss reading or not you were being a dick), it's so much better to tell me about my panties. still being a dick.

Sorry, pal, you are "WWRROONNGG!!!" I interviewed Pablo himself when I was at the factory last year, and he told me that when there are no Jackson CS for him to work on, he will do USA Selects.
