New guy with a new toy!

[Disturbing Manor]

Hi there, I'm new and have been lurking for a few weeks. Now I'm ready to share. I've wanted a Jackson ever since I first saw Vinnie Vincent back in 1983. Last week I finally got my first from Ed Roman.

She's an RR1 with a reverse headstock and the now-discontinued graveyard finish, and absolutely RIPS. I've never played a neck before that felt this good! With any luck, I'll post the image correctly the first time....





Sorry thy're such big images, but they're totally worth it!

Wow. You came to the right place.
Excellent first post, too...
Welcome to the JCF.

Wow Nice grab! And reverse headstock too? How was your experience with the Lucky Charms man?

[KBRR]

reverse headstock RR1 !! damn lucky guy .. awesome guitar

[Axewielder]

Dang that graveyard graphic rules. It looks like something Bob Ross would do if he were high on PCP (I think he normally just did weed).

[Freehill]

I love reverse headstocks. It's too bad Jackson didn't do all these reverse pieces when I had money to burn. Nice axe!

[VinceV]

Cool guitar, and welcome to the forum.

Please do give some 1st hand details on your dealings with Ed Roman.

That pic makes me want to hang out at a graveyard

That graphic looks right on a RR for some reason.Very cool and love the reverse head too.

From one newb to another, welcome. That's quite an entrance. Amazing detail on that finish! Congratulations on the acquisition!

Thanks for the warm welcome! As soon as I saw this guitar, I knew I had to have it.

I saw a few graveyard finishes on Guitar Asylum's site, but the colors were brighter. I think the more subdued hues fit the mood of the graphic better. A happy little headstone here, a happy little ruin there...it's all good! I always liked the reverse headstock, but the idea of seeing it on a Rhoads just makes my pants fit a little tighter.

Everybody I delt with at Ed's were totally cool. I didn't get to meet Ed or anything, as I did the whole deal over the phone and had the guitar shipped. However, now I have a great reason to plan a Vegas trip. I've got to see that showroom in person!

Welcome to the board. Nice first post and great guitar. I have been around here for a long time and still feel like a lurker. Maybe it was a good thing you didnt meet Ed. The people that have never seem to be very impressed.

I almost pissed my pants when I saw this picture,I was like no wayyyyyyyy :ROTF:

Killer Jackson and congrats,that's one bad M'fr. RR w/rev looks great.For some reason I would love to play some King Diamond on it,like "Welcome Home"

[AlTheHell]

Welcome! And great first Jackson...you like to start "At the top"!
That showroom is a thing of the past, as he has sold out to a car
dealer. I have heard that he started up another store somewhere in
the Las Vegas area though...but i'll bet it will be 2000 sqft instead of
the 16K sq ft he had before! Again welcome, and its nice to live the
dream !!
