Jackson's new X series!

[Rich#6]

Those I think are non usa releases.
BUT there has been an x series for a very long time. some used to be made in india and they moved production to japan. the biggest difference is the cheaper pickups.

Well, back in the 90´s there was a japanese-made X-series, that sat slightly below the Pro series and above the Performers. It consisted of the RR-X, KE-X, DR-X and AT-X, if memory serves. Maybe it´s the same kind of deal again, though I doubt there is room to make something cheaper than the Pro´s in Japan these days.

Actually, I don't think it is the same song. The music in the ad is just a ripoff of the Papa Roach.

What does that have to do with the discussion?

It's the same music as the ad... Other thn that... nothing.

Why? There has been both series for a long time.

I was thinking because of the finishes, emgs and expected price range. That along with wishful thinking. :P why would you need two sub models of the same guitars that offer nearly the same features at nearly the same price.

Actually the PDX is made in India... If the X series are Chinese, I'll be very disappointed.

Yea, I will be to, with reason being that the bodies probably will be made out of bamboo this time around. LOL!

[BenoA]

Let's not jump to conclusions. They better not be.

I'm like you on this but ESP/LTD, Suhr/Ramsus, Fender/Squier, some EBMM/Sterling are made in China now.

Played an LTD the other day that was made in Vietnam! :think:

[DarkkWarriorr]

Keep in mind though that the PDX is considered an X series model and that is MIJ and only $550.00. So who knows really.

I think Eaeolian is right though these new models are made to compete with Schecter and LTD models. I want to see more specs first as well.

I may be wrong but these will be probably made in China just like the new Charvel Desolation models.

I think that's their point, yeah - to have something to compete with the LTDs and Schecters in this price range, now that the Pros are over 1K.

Exactly how I think.

Did anyone else noticed the "Floyd Special" on these? I may be wrong but these will be probably made in China just like the new Charvel Desolation models. So from a price point, they would fit in between the JS and Pro.

Edit: These are consistent with the "X" series Ellefson basses they already announced, other than the EMGs.
