I generally favor Charvels...

[skorb]

but this Jackson is absolutely incredible!

it's one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. and I normally don't favor gold hardware. wow.
(it's in the gallery here.)

Re: I generally favor Charvels...

agree that is one great looking bird....

Dave (origianl owner) also custom ordered a Floyd version of that one....talk about a super cool pair.

Re: I generally favor Charvels...

yeah that is cool looks like it might be a bit neck heavy though. who cares. it's pretty.

Re: I generally favor Charvels...

Dots and RW board totally ruin it for me.

Re: I generally favor Charvels...

The old school RR prototype style Jackson logo is effing cool! Wish the board was ebony with pearl sharkies!

Re: I generally favor Charvels...

Yeah, I agree on the ebony / sharkfins thing, but I could quite happily live with it!.....

Very beautiful, if the flames/quilt were lined up better it'd have been even better.

They look pretty well aligned to me [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img].....

Re: I generally favor Charvels...

It's not a perfectly mirrored top (bookmatched to perfection), so I don't like it. I'm anal that way.

Re: I generally favor Charvels...

Looking at the area behind the bridge, I think it probably is pretty damn close to 'bookmatched to perfection', but the photo isn't bringing the figuring out as well as it might....

Re: I generally favor Charvels...

i think ebony/fins would ruin that 'bird. it's WAY classier with rosewood and dots. it would look cheap if it wasn't bound. i LOVE that logo too. i'd love to get a USA FB sometime. i have two of the FB2's...one TOM and one floyd and those are really nice so i can't imagine how great a USA 'bird would be.

Re: I generally favor Charvels...

It looks off like about a couple of mm per 'branch', also it seems both sides are 'inverted' as far as color is concerned, the highlights on one side are the other side's 'background' color. This might be purely due to the photograph, though.

<font color="aqua">ah, I see, yes, I believe it's the photo that is throwing you off. Quite often, bookmatched bodies look like one side is a "positive" exposure while the other side is a "negative" exposure. Thta's perfectly normal. </font>

Excellent then, it's a spank guitar in every way possible then! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
