Re: call to arms post

as soon as we know exactly how many numbers are available, we'll want to know who wants one... that communication should be happening today or tomorrow, i'm guessing.

Re: call to arms post

Step 1) Set up JCF-02 specs,pricing etc
Step 2) Roll Call orginal JCF-02 buyers
Step 3) Announce buyers pricing etc to make sure buyers are locked in
step 4) Find permanent open numbers and members to fill them
Setp 5) Find Temporary open numbers of members who pass for 1 year and find members to fill them ...

An announcment will be made over the next several days on who is interested and such. While no one like the idea that politics play a role in anything to some degree it WILL have to play a role here. Guarantees that whoever gets in HAS the cash to buy .. not dream.. Older more active members take priority over newer members .. it's only fair .. There are people on this board who are here everyday and make this board a great place .. those people imo have earned the right to be involved if they choose ... The reason I'm mentioning this is simply that it will and has caused people to get pissed off ...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This is exactly the way to NOT get in. Guys, there will be quite a few open slots. Don't worry, don't whine, don't piss the admins off. There are quite a few open spaces. If you want in, go gather up your $'s and wait. You WILL have the opportunity. I doubt there at that many people on the board not on the buyers list that:

1. Have approx. $1K lying around to throw at a guitar out of the blue at Christmas time.

and

2. Want in.


In my honest opinion, it may take several weeks to actually fill all 30 spots. If you want in and have the money, you'll get in.

Re: call to arms post

Admins I did not want to post under the open slots heading. While I would like an assigned number for future projects I do not want to participate in this particular JCF project. While it looks to be a great guitar and a very well deserved memorial to Robin, I prefer strat body guitars. If that means having to wait another year and trying to get a number next year thats fair. I believe it should be first come first serve.

Re: call to arms post

I know how difficult this JCF series has been to set-up and re-set-up and all the difficulty involved with the administration of the series, i.e. deciding on the guitar details, getting the specs, etc. worked out with the dealer and Jackson, selecting the people, etc., so I know the suggestion I'm about to make is going to seem easier said than done, but.....

What I think would be cool would be for there to be two JCF series. The first series - the Yearly Collector's Edition - that focuses on guitars like it has been - tribute models and the like.

And my suggestion (based on my personal preferences, of course) for a second series would be something like a Classic Series - strat-shaped guitars in the vein of the Bullseye reissue that aren't necessarily associated with a particular player like the YCE has been (and knowing the general desire for Floyds around here, they wouldn't even necessarily be accurate reproductions of classic Charvels or Jacksons).

Of course, that would be adding a bunch of work, not to mention that it might be hard to continue to come up with tribute guitars a few years down the line (I mean, after Robbin and Randy, I already don't know where you go for a distinctive guitar associated with a particular player that would be attractive to 25-30 JCF buyers). Not to mention that it might be difficult to sell out 50 to 60 guitars per year, as I'm sure it's hard enough to get 30 solidly sold.

So, it's a suggestion that's not necessarily a feasible one.... more like daydreaming in public.
