Re: The Future of GMW

You buy a $2400 Charvel or Jackson and you still have to spend $150 to get it set up right...neck tweak...polish and grind.

I've had three new USA Jacksons this year (2 SLATQH's and a SL2T Limited Chlorine) and every one was set up great right out of the box. Thats just me though. I would never spend that kind of money on a guitar and then immediately have the frets ground and polished. I'd send it right back.
I think the difference is that Jackson sells through dealers, not directly to the customer. The dealer is responsible for the final set up (if needed) before delivery (AFAIK). GMW is the only "dealer" in their situation (you buy direct) so they set them up like that before delivery.
Maybe the dealer you got your Jackson's from isn't that good at pre sale setups?
Just my 2 cents.
