I had an idea for a Custom shop Jackson

[1trussell]

I'm thinking a string-thru XTRR with a 24.75" scale, mahogany neck through with mahogany body sides and a flame maple top in transparent black, dual Duncan Distortions, reverse sharkies, bound neck/headstock, 5 way switch with 1 volume and no tone.

How is this sounding to you guys? I think I might have to save up, if they'll even do it.

No rev. sharkies.

Sounds great to me!! I like the look of reverse sharks better than standard. And two humbuckers with a super five-way switch rocks!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

But yeah, other than the sharks, it sounds awsome.

Everything seems great excepts the dual Duncan Distortions.
How does the disctortion in the neck position sound like?
I know Dime did have Dimarzio Super DIstortion in the neck though..

I recently ordered one with string thru,Mahogany body/neck, reversed headstock with no inlays and dual Duncans but with Custom/59 combination..

Re: I had an idea for a Custom shop Jackson

sounds great to me! but like some of the others, I don't like reverse sharkfins either. if you like the dual distortions go for it...personally I'd consider a JB in the neck maybe.
now go order that thing! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The Distortion in the neck is the ultimate shred lead pickup. It is so articulate and responsive even under heavy gain. To me, there is no greater set-up a metal guitar can have than dual Duncan Distortions.

If they can do it, I think I'll have to start putting money back into my guitar fund. Of course, I'll seriously have to cut back on how many guitars per year I buy. 5 was a little much last year. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Sounds great! I like the look of reverse sharkfins & the other details sound very cool as well.

You know, I completely forgot about Dan's Rhoads guitars. But now that I think about it, I always did like those.

Re: I had an idea for a Custom shop Jackson

Oooh, what about a bound body as well? That might look badass. Can they do that for an XTRR?

Re: I had an idea for a Custom shop Jackson

24.75 scale XTRR would rule!

Re: I had an idea for a Custom shop Jackson

Bound Body will look killer
I saw a BC Rich V with bound Body and looked killer as well.
Mine will be a Black Star with bound body with White bindings.

Travis, sounds cool: You seem to be going down a similar route to me (mine's flame maple neck & f/b, crop circles, reverse head, mahogany wings, 3/4 inch quilt top, gold hardware)....
For the binding, you might want to check out this thread from the 4th post down:

Actually, I meant to mention that I've asked Matt to find out if they can bind an XTRR, so I'll let you know when he hears back from Jackson.....
