Hi I was looking for the place new people can introduce but I didn't see any so here I am.
I started with Jacksons in 1987-88 when I was living in Fort Worth Texas,I was out driving around looking for music stores and saw an old "Swap shop" so I wheeled in there and was looking around and saw a guitar case on the ground with junk stacked on top of it,so I asked the man that was there what it was and if I could look at it,and he said sure,so after getting all the junk off I opened the case and there it was, a Jackson RR Student Dot model made in USA neck through,serial number RR0545 I believe it was,it was in the maybe Crimson/Magenta IDK the name of the color with the black pin striping,and I freaked out and immediately knew what the deal was,I was leaving with that guitar no matter what,so after the shock I asked the man if it was for sale and what was the price,he said $500 cash,so I was scrambling in mt brain what to do,so I told him to hide it and I would be right back and I had some old Roland rack gear and junk pedals and took it to the man and he cut me a deal of $375 cash with the items for trade,so I grabbed it and went on my way..it had the original SD Distortion/Jazz combo and it was string through body.
That guitar got ripped of from me in 1991' and that hurt alot,everybody that saw and or played my RR loved it !
I then had a Charvel Model 5 in bright Red,a Charvel with 1 hum in the Black Crackle finish with maple reverse neck with the early Jackson Floyd Rose and many other Jacksons including a USA Jackson Soloist in HSS with all S-Duncans and original Floyd Rose that I still have,but now my newest purchase Jackson SL2Q in Transparent Blue is my favorite,its the Indonesian made model and i don't care about that,it freaking smokes my USA model.
I have had a few Schecters and still own a Blackjack,and several Ibanez Premiums and Prestiges, but with my new Jackson I truly love it and happy to have tried the newer line of Jackson(s)..my plans are now to purchase maybe 3-5 more Jacksons/Charvels and have a lot of fun.
Gear wise nowadays its my newer EVH 5150-3 50 watt head with the matching Ivory 2-12" cab,and now 2 weeks ago a new PRS MT-15 head with 2 home made single 1-12' boxes with Eminence Legend V128's,pretty simple but effective setups..I am planning on maybe a Mesa Boogie single Rectifier Solo head 50 watt model,and maybe a PRS Archon head..50 or 100 watter,but like many I really don't need any more gear but GAS is always there,especially when looking through these awesome forums !
Gone are the early days with my Marshall stack and had to trim down to 2-12"s and single 1-12"s..I am too ragged out to carry that bigger gear around now but I am stupid thinking I may need 1 more 100 watt head !
If anyone here lives near Texarkana or Marshall Tx let me know,since I moved here to the boonies I have not found any other players for 3 years,so looking to jam !
