Another Example of why I have no interest in Import Jackson Guitars - WMI Korea

[lepard]

Nothing Jackson import-wise can even come close to competing with World Musical Instruments Korea. Major thumbs up to BC Rich, DBZ/Diamond and PRS for still having high quality guitars made in Korea by WMI.

BC Rich Warlock Deluxe:

Neck-thru
EMG 81/85 Pickups
Original Floyd Rose
Ebony Board
Abalone inlayed binding

LOL

I agree. Jackson imports are crap compared to WMI.

This is the one I'm really interested in:



And of course, this is the one I already own:

Hell yeah, that's the same guitar. BC Rich has been doing different finishes on this model for the past 8 years. They have made them in black, white, Joey Jordison blood-drip, trans dark red and that trans brown burl finish.

Those are great!

WMI does make great stuff. Love my Alex Wade LTD AW-7. You don't see too many neck-thru strat-type guitars with a pickguard. I put on String Saver saddles and strat knobs in place of the regular metal knurled ones.

Very cool looking warlocks.

Hah, you just answered a question for me. I was going to start a post asking who built the
Diamond line of guitars!

WMI is the shit. Sully's buddy Ormsby is going to have WMI build for him too. Supercool. Damn Xeno that warlock is awesome.

Thanks! It's actually one of the best playing 7's I've ever played... smokes anything 7 string Jackson has made, to be honest. I paid $640 for it and it's like USA quality. It's sad they discontinued them but even BCR Custom Shop can't do them that well, IMO

That's why I LOL'd. Cause you posted the same model I'm considering. Even though I hate the body shape standing, it's a fine guitar to sit down with. And the burl wood is great. 1 of 20 made for the Japanese market only. And it's WMI. So you know it's freaking awesome!

WMI is amazing. The PRS SE guitars are really my choice instruments these days. For my higher end stuff I am using EBMM, but I am most comfortable on the SEs. In fact, I am considering getting rid of my well used and modded PC-1 to fund a special run SE CU24 that has an ebony board.....we'll see though, lol.

Here's my current stable of SEs:

Nice guitars to everyone above! Keep them coming!!!

Yup, own the same warlock, if it wasn't for the trem (and 'Made in Korea' on the Headstock), you wouldn't say it was a sub $1000 guitar

Those are nice! I especially like the purple with the Floyd.

sweet, Mark. I was never a PRS fanboy, but I've had a thing for the Akesson sig model & the flamed maple 245 for the last couple of years. Can't explain why their single cuts are calling to me because I'm not really a Les Paul fan either

You really ought to get one. The brand, SE, LTD, etc... doesn't really matter. WMI builds an amazing guitar that feels, sounds and plays like a USA or MIJ... and in some cases even nicer.
