[HOTRIFF]

Always liked the look of the Surfcaster.I´m really curious about that

[dg]

The rumor is it'll be a singlecut:

Summer NAMM is open to the public on Saturday ($20) according to what I've read. Newc or anybody else near Nashville should get over there!

-edit- Found out there's no J/C booth at Summer NAMM, so I guess we just have to wait for an announcement.

[Flatpicker]

There was a singlecut designed by one of the JCF that floated around about a year and a half ago.
Maybe they are going to announce it?

[tomanyjacksons]

There's definately Nothing on their site but the dealer search. Everything esle is just the desolation deal with a quote from Buzz Aldrin and some rock formations. Those bastards. LOL

I'm sure they don't mean "Desolation Alley", the Mike Learn custom paint.

Im hoping for a Japan, Surfcaster

They just updated their facebook status for the first time in forever, and the homepage has changed to this...

http://www.charvel.com/

... so hopefully the announcement will come soon. Somebody in the Rig Talk thread made a great point about how all bets should be off now that Gibson owns Valley Arts, which makes strats, not to mention the fact that Fender lets Hamer do what they've always done. I'm ready to order a roundhorn V and an Explorer. Cut the nonsense and take my money.

[Jason1212]

Gibson has owned VA for some time now though. Not that I don't agree with you, I just don't see them making the move.

[The Rossness]

On jackson's twitter, they had an interview up with Wes boreland from limp bizkit. Maybe he cut a deal with charvel and has a new surfcaster sig.

[Jason1212]

If that were the case the ad would have said desperation not desolation.

+1. Not holding my breath for it, though.

Buy from Hamer?
The quality is just as high and with FMIC owning it all, it's probably going to be touched by the same people at some point.

[Frigo89]

Surfcaster or LP, I will buy it as soon as I am able

Er, you meant Hamer touched by the same Hamer folks, right? Not Hamer touched by Jackson guys....cuz that'd be a no.

I don't really know anymore. I thought the Jackson team was helping the Hamer folks, while the Hamer Team was working on Guilds?

I'm rather befuddled by the whole issue...
