Matt, could you please confirm the inlay material and the logo?

The specs on the Jackson website did lead to confusion and debates in three different subforums...

[mattsmusiccenter]

No problem... I just sent a request for this info and will post with the answer tomorrow.

Inlays are mother of pearl.

[Super_shredder]

awesome

[shadowcat]

Holy shit, now this is a surprise.

I was so sure it was one of the typical Jackson website specification mistakes...

Now this makes the Demmel V a really serious top of the line guitar, just like the Morton. Nothing cheap about it anymore!

Good job Jackson!

[Svart]

This sure raises the hope factor for jackson for me personally! nice move!

I just got a boner.

Simply Awesome. The guitar, not your boner

[The Mitch]

Inlays are mother of pearl.

Really? MOP?! Great!

[SlasZ]

Will there be a USA Select version?

[Brooke]

Awesome!

What about the head stock logo..MOP also?

[Brooke]

I know what I'll be saving for this this spring.

- If only it had a MOP logo
- If only it had different color binding
- If only it had KV2 speed neck profile
- If only it had a maple board
- If only it didn't have a Floyd
- If only it had HSS pickup layout
- If only it had Duncans
- If only it had bridge vol, neck vol, tone pot
- If only it had 5 way switch with coil tap
- If only it it came in Eerie Dess Swirl
- If only it had 22 frets
- If only it had 27 frets
- If only it was a RR
hmm what other BS excuses do people on this site give for not liking a guitar?

Its quite a nice guitar, very nice, fantastic specs - but the RR24 is more my thing.
