jackson website looks like they finally updated it

[shramiac]

What! No Vinnie Vincent model???

The black headstock on the JS32 Dinky doesn't look so bad for some reason!?!?! :think:

[Force]

Ah, it's finally working. Loving some of those new models but has anyone noticed the insane hike in the recommended price?

And they still need to do something about the images when you go into a model, some have 'no image available

[Tho]

Is the custom shop form updated? Or still the same?

+1 to the 30th Soloist. Except for the EMGs. :P

Also, looks like they've reposted the custom shop list, and no price increase this year. Kudos to Jackson for putting it back up on their website, too...

And this would seem to be final confirmation of Pablo's departure. There's a new apprentice builder on-board...

Yeah I agree Shreddermon! I was happy to see the prices stay the same on the Master built sheet!! Custom shop is pricey enough and the wait time is still insane. Hey Tho the order sheets are in this post!

Diggin' the KVQ!

But the guitars from that era rarely had 3 pots - 2 was much more common. This is the neck 'join' or rather heel that they're using on them (this is from my 2009 Soloist):

Yeah, should have said heel vs neck joint, but that's the one I'm talking about.
Maybe the 3rd pot is a JE1200?

[shreddermon]

Yeah, the 3 knob layout of the 30th Soloist is odd. They were almost all V-T. Maybe it's a mid-boost circuit? The 3 mini toggles is correct. But the overall control placement is off, too. Too far back on the body. Looks weird.

Yeah this is tits!

Probably a throwback to the original, like with the 3 mini-toggles

Then it should have one or two knobs....three knobs is a throwback to a Model 6!!

Which rule verily BTW


(ducks for cover)


KVQ is damn nice too.

Pic from the NAMM booth....location of the 3 knobs & switches certainly look the same as a Model 6:

Not exactly. The volume knob used to be right under the pickup. Some people have complained the knob gets in the way and they hit it, so that's probably why they changed it.

How is Mike gonna build all those 30th anniversary Soloists, with the custom shop back log and all.

I like the yellow one

Anyone else think it's weird they'd have a speedloader for the index pic of the SL2H?
