      It takes a special kind of person to like that headstock. Mostly the kind that was beating off to smurfette at the tender age of 23.

      Sidenote: I love 7 strings, but whats with the marching out of new alternative models? I mean back in the early 00s they were doing the DR7, KX7, RR7, etc. so, why not just do that again? Id love a 7 string Kelly hsh. Archtops and smurfhats arent for me.

        You do realize a Smurf hat headstock is not pointy, right? Jackson has been using that headstock since the early '90s on certain models. You've gotta be a certain kind of special to think it's even close to a Smurf hat. A Smurf hat headstock would be more rounded like the old ESP Horizon.

          The ONLY one that I even remotely like (to look at...not purchase) is the flat black one hanging on the wall.

            However, I do have two small complaints...

            1) The front of the headstock should match the body(the black just throws off the overall colour scheme, IMO...)
            2) The volume knob is perfectly placed (not too close to playing area), but I think the switch and tone knob would look better like this:




            Other than that... Love the arched top, love the trans red over quilted maple, the piranhas are nice touch, and I love the 4 tuners on top/3 on the bottom (whenever there's an odd number of tuners, the greater number should always go on the top. Other manufacturers' 7 strings look 'wrong' with the 3/4 configuration, IMO...).

                  i like the SLS headstock. it makes perfect sense on a 7 string, too. i remember when jackson had the 7 strings with the pointy head...the headstock looked WAY to long and made the guitars look disproportioned...
                  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!!!!

                      Let's look on the bright side. If these are the shape of things to come, all of our current Jacksons are fixin to go up in value.
                      I can't say the guitar is ugly, It just looks like every other brand out there. ESP/LTD, Schecter, Laguna, hehe.
                      Exhibit A:
                      Turn the volume to 10 and rip off the knob!

                      2013 Kramer 5150 Kit
                      2000ish RR Knockoff refinish.

                        Jackson has taken such a big hit, even if Jacksons go up 25%, they're still down 10-20% below pre-bust days.

                          Toejam, I thought thats what those heads were called??? Anyway I stand behind my original beer gut comment. Jackson makes the iconic guitars that everybody has copied at one point or another, so why do they all of the sudden want to jump on the esp/schecter bandwagon? If they (Fender) would push more products into the stores they may sell. I mean they already went through the entry levels and brought their specs way up, so why not advertise it and push it? And Im confident that theyll either find another Japanese factory or help Gakki reopen
