Yep I remember being a kid in the 80's thinking who in God's name would play a guitar with these gay graphics, or even who would WANT a graphic on a guitar. The gayest finish, no offense to Mike Learn of course. His stuff is cool though, even if it's not my bag.Comment

Im 41 and I never liked these graphics. I like graphics but I think they should be personalized. The only thing that would interest me that wouldnt be custom would be if they did a polka dot San Dimas. I have seen some but I dont know if they were custom or not. RR has the polka dots on lock maybe. Fender does a Buddy Guy polka dot Strat so maybe they could do some Charvels as well.Comment

That is funny that you say that. He is inspecting a neck with a locking nut on it which none of these guitars have. I liked the rising sun and bulls eye graphics from back then, but I did not get real empressed till Dan Lawrence started doing the graphics that had more dimension to them. 1-d graphics like the spider web and the bolt are pretty boring.Comment

Good catch, in the photo he must be thinking "What the fuck is this thing? I don't like my nuts locked."Originally posted by Jason1212 View PostJackson KV2

The main problem with these guitars is price. Overpricing a product to the point of absurdity sure has a way of coloring your perceptions of it.
With reasonable prices - and maybe some equipped with Floyds, instead - I'd bet that many of us criticizing them now would probably otherwise have had very different opinions of the same exact designs. Instead of thinking of them as quirky remakes of some of the cheesiest graphic schemes ever, we might otherwise be perceiving them as retro-cool or whatnot, instead. (...Well, maybe not the "gay spiderman" one, though.
)
I sure get the sense the FMIC just doesn't get it that the same overpriced "exclusive limited edition" formula that repeatedly works so well for the Fender guitar line just ain't going to work in the same way for Jackson/Charvel-land. But we're not seeing the real sales numbers, so we'll never know for sure, though.
Just MHO.Comment
