Sneak peek: more Jackson killer guitars on the horizon...

Just found this, on facebook:

Would this possibly be the new Pro Series that Chris Cannella was refering to?

They sure look good to me

I commented. I wonder if I get banned from the Jackson page.

Only Three screws in the neck? - interesting concept. I guess. Not sure I'm a fan.

I doubt their social media team even reads the comments. After seeing about the 7th "y u no put mop sharkies, jackson king v style, neck through, bird maple, made in usa, three humbuckers, kahler tremolo? that real metalz fuitar!" comment, I even want to ring someone's neck!

I actually think these look cool. Yeah, probably not USA build quality, but that's probably not why they're made. I probably also wont be too scarred to play one in a dingy bar or a cramped basement either.

The number of people who don't understand physics well enough and think that 3 bolts somehow means the neck will fall off when hit by a stray gust of wind boggles my mind.

I think they look great and it's about time we got a more ergonomically shaped heel.

lol at the people who want a mid-level import guitar to have real MOP inlays and ebony boards.

I have only 2 things to say about this...

Maple fretboards...
Side Dots...

One more thing.. Yes!

Interesting that people are telling you (or you read somewhere) they think the necks will fall off. Thats foolish I agree. My concern is more about overall build quality, stability and tone. I wonder what the odds are that we start seeing American Jacksons that way? I would bet, not so much, but who knows huh?

+1 I like 'em!

Probably more in reference to comments on Facebook. Grade A example: "Only one screw at top for neck?????????? This is a terrible design because the neck pulls from top. That one lonely screw at top now has double the amount of tension on it!!! This is a terrible design and cost cutting at its finest."

[silar]

And something else I didn't notice..... NO PICKUP RINGS!!! Awesome!

[beachjammer]

I'm liking these new Jacksons and can't wait to try some of them out! I was holding onto my money in order to get one of the new 7 strings but now that I've saw this one I might wait until I try it

Yeah, could be man I didn't even bother to read the FB posts.

There are some real jems in there

"Finally something without sharkfins. How about a japanese strat with a single hum, vol, FR and 22 fretboard instead of more of the same garbage Jackson's made over the last 10 years? Or would that be too successful?"

"and enough with the @#$%ing binding already!"

^ Soooo... he wants a Charvel?

[The Rossness]

Depending on the price, I'd go for it. Doesent Tom Anderson use a similar neck bolt design with 2 screws and a "V" slot the neck connects to? Looks like Jackson is copying Good Ole' Tom.

Yeah, especially the people asking for Kahlers.
