Jackson With or With Out Dave Mustaine

[Brian]

It's just got a different name now. I just bought one a few months ago.

7330 I think.

Actually getting it installed n my KV1 as we speak.

It's slightly different but it's a direct replacement. The baseplate is different the 3300. Rest of the parts are the same according to Kahlers email support department.

The 3300 is still available and is a "custom" order.
The 7330 is a production model of the same bridge.

There's about $100 dollar difference between the two. Both are apparently made in the USA. I never did get a straight answer as to what the difference between the two was that justifies the $100 dollar price gap.

Ben - that incident was apparently due to a sound guy fucking something up with his in-ear monitors.

You opened a can of worms here. The Nelson dudes did play Jacksons. Bring back Dave but keep his signature off the front of any headstock.

[Disturbing Manor]

Dave can do whatever he wants - Charvel/Jackson needs Mick or Jim from Slipknot, one of those dudes from Korn and one of the dudes from Avenged Sevenfold if they want to move some serious numbers.

+1.

Younger, high-profile names would probably benefit Jackson more than someone who trash-talks the company as soon as he doesn't get what he wants. I'm sure Shecter (sic?) moved a buttload of those ridiculous looking Synyster Gates signature models based on Avenged Sevenfold's popularity and "relevance" alone. Same with the Slipknot guys for their respective companies. You can't flip through a guitar magazine these days without seeing those guys hocking something.

I thought it was about something like that. Still, he truly knows how to show respect for people who pay him by throwing their product across the stage.

Dave Mustaine is Jackson

Dave was too bad ass for Metalica. He certainly seems to be a dude who knows how to be a jerk if her wants to be. In the megadeth documentary Hetfield clearly states "I was afraid he was going to kill all of us".

[Phantom Hawk]

I'd think its cool if he did come back to Jackson, just 'cuz thats how I still picture him in my head. But I'd like it more because of the possibility of a production model string through 25 1/2 scale KV. Thats definitely the best selling point to me.

Yep. I agree. It's pretty lame.

I think anyone that is a fan of Mustaine to the point that they will buy his signature model guitar knows very well that what comes out of his mouth is 95% contradiction 5% bullshit.

[The Mitch]

I realy hope he will come back!

It would be a good deal for Jackson because they could rerelease the Y2KV AND the KV1, no matter which Kahlers are available at the moment - those would plaese every Megadeth-Fanboy big time.

A nice string-through would be his "new" sig-model like the A Tout Le Monde KV. It's as close to his ESP and DEAN sigs as it could get.

So go on Jackson, his deal with Dean expires by the end of this year!
And then get Chris as well, he's a monster

:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF: NO. i'll throw in an extra NO for the guy in korn.

dont get me wrong theyre good bands, but what did slipknot do for bc rich? help them sell a bunch of cheapos(thats not gonna help jackson). how many sales are there for the korn ibanez?

[Flatpicker]

I don't.
They need new endorsers if they need any at all.

Actually, I'm starting to wonder if endorsement deals are worth in the the 09 economy.

Jackson would be better getting a Guitar Hero/Rock Band controller out there. Seems to be a larger number of eyes for the name.

[customshopkv1]

Bring back the Y2KV. One of the nicest sounding and playing guitars that I have had my hands on.

[Jason1212]

I dont think it would do anything for Jackson really. Most people seem to want it so why not? For some reason when I think of Mustaine I think BCR Bitch.

[hippietim]

Mustaine has done so much bashing of the past companies he's worked with that I don't think people respect him much as an endorsee. One minute he's saying "I'm Dave Mustaine and I can have any guitar (or amp) and I choose ______ because they're the greatest" and when he's moved on he bashes them. It's one thing to say "I've found a new best" - it's another thing to bash the previous company.

[customshopkv1]

Did he ever say the guitars sucked, or did he say the company sucked?
