I still don't get it, I mean, besides MONEY, why would someone play on a guitar that has the shape of another guitar? Like, there's nothing wrong with Jacksons and RR's, they designed them! And if he wanted crappy passive EMG's or 24 frets or whatever, he sure could've got them at Jackson too. Weird.
Alexi's reasons for jumping to ESP are well-documented. He truly loved Jackson guitars, and I think he may have stayed if they had taken care of his needs when his guitars were stolen. As far as shapes go, J/C got its start making strats. All of mine are strat or dinky-strat shapes. Should I dump them all & switch to Fender? Not gonna happen. Some of the most sought-after older Jacksons & Charvels are Firebirds, roundhorn Vs, and Explorers. I used to hate ESP for stealing Jackson designs, but now I think that's kind of hypocritical.
