...actually it's canary yellow, but close enough! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
What are/will be the specs for this cool axe?
Greg alluded to a couple above: 3 piece no-scarfjoint neck, binding over the frets, and it was mentioned it'd be a non-recessed Floyd (saweet, BTW!).
But what about: size/type of frets, type of pickups, control layout (tone/vol config), and neck profile to start? I honestly don't know any of these details on the original red beast!

Didn't Robbin use Duncun Holdsworth pickups????

Re: jcf 02 questions thread

[img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] no, he had a duncAn holdsworth in big red (at least he told me so), but it was later swapped out to distortion, according to its owner.

I don't think that Robbin would have given a rats ass if he was still around but it still is a great tribute to a diehard Jackson player who helped put the Jackson name in the mainstream of metal.
