WTF! No new Jackson Import models?

[SARJ]

I guess it's cool that there are Strat heads and all that happy horse shit, but is there going to be any new import Jacksons or Charvels? Anything? If anyone has info, e-mail me some pics and/or info.

Thanks in advance and I guess there is always Summer NAMM for the 24 fret import RR.

Hey hey. I was not at NAAM, but I know that there is 4 new import models. All bolt on, all string thru and the bodies are......KV, KE , RR and Warrior. I thought I heard the list on them was like $400. Harmony central had a page on them last month. I may get 1 or 2 they looked cool.
LATER!!!

Well *everyone* has seen that it's just that they aren't in the pics from Namm (yet)

Not everything is announced on the first two days, guys. We'll see what happens today. I'm waiting on the new JS30 series too. If they're as good as the JS30 Dinky, I'm in. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I played the JS30RR though (w/o amp). Very thin neck, and it looks like the neck joint has been thinned also. I'll try to play one through an amp there today.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">cool thanks for the info man ! I am gonna gut it anyway so as long as the neck is thin and the body is alder and a maple neck who cares where it is made right , I will probably put wd products parts in her and new jacks and emg hz h4 pickups in there , so I hope they are dirt cheap , what was the price on em Ron ? //Steve

Re: WTF! No new Jackson Import models?

I dunno, BM, you seem to be the only JS30 cheerleader around here! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

OK, I just got back from NAMM and I have the FULL SCOOP on the new JS30 series. Should I write it on this thread or start a new one in Import section?

Re: WTF! No new Jackson Import models?

Just post it! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I came here tonight looking for info SPECIFICALLY on the new JS30 models. Did you find anything out about the Kelly?

I thought these guitars were brand new and just introduced. I remember seeing the Harmony Central thing not long ago and saying they were coming soon, and I thought this NAMM was their first coming out. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Now that I think about it, yes, the Dinky JS30 model has been around now and does have those covered pickups (I just looked through the 2002 catalog). It also has 22 frets the licensed Floyd JT500. The Warrior, Rhoads and V are new.
