  • Need some Help

    I'm hopefully getting my first Jackson today from eBay, It's only a JS30 RR, and yeah,I know stock Pick ups are crap, if I replaced stocks with EMG 81's sometime around would it still need something else upgraded btw where can I get a Rosewood Sharkie Inlaid Fretboard with Maple Neck Bolt on in the UK?

    I'd think the pickups will be the only major weak point in the guitar.

    Think about a set of Blackouts too.

    As for the neck, your best bet is ebay, but even then you'll probably pay about the same for a neck like that as you did for the guitar!

    If it means that much to you, buy an RR3 instead. The newer ones come with better pickups too.

    If it's the red one listed just now, I wouldn't be paying £140 for it. I got my KE3 for £140 and that came with a hard case.

      Can't afford an RR3, I've won the JS30 for £92.69/£112.69 including P&P, I'm hoping next year for when I'm allowed to have a job for a nice collection of Jacksons to save for

      Thanks for the Tip aswell, Nice collection

        Oh BTW, if you need sharkies, you can get them as stickers from ebay. It sounds like a crap idea, but apparently they work extremely well and are cheap too. Someone on here tried a set of Iommi Crosses and liked them.

            I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.

              there are crap loads of necks on ebay for that js30rr, since its a 24 fret you will find a neck for it very easily. I have a rr3 and its a pain trying to find the neck i wanted for it so i have given up on that.

                  Another Question, can I somehow get the JS modified to handle a pickguard and maybe that string thru thing the RR1T has above the pickguard right at the V point

                    I don't really see any reason why not. With the pickguard, I'd assume you can just screw one straight on there - obviously you wouldn't be routing holes in the body for the controls or anything, but you could just screw one on and put the existing knobs and switch through it - it'll need to line up with those controls though.
                    You should email Dave www.fretsonthenet.com he's probably done this already for someone and he's a top man.
