Pro Plus Series Baritone

[wilkinsi]

Soloist archtop, Kelly, Warrior and a Monarkh, Nice to see Jackson are expanding the Pro Plus series. However, it does not say in the specs whether they have Dunlop strap locks. Just as well I bought a spare set just in case. Speaking of cases, I am also wondering if either the Kelly or Warrior models will even fit in the multi fit hard shell case, given they have a 27" scale.

Thoughts?

They're way on the bottom.

They look fantastic. Too bad they're Baritone. I would definitely look into a Pro Plus Warrior if it were normal scale.

Oh and they're made in Indonesia, not China.

These are on my database now. They do come with gigbags, making me think that maybe they don't fit the regular stuff. I expected the finish options to be limited but I find it interesting that they all include kill switches. Is that a leftover from the djent thing? (I'm out of touch)

I didnt even notice the killswitch before. Maybe they went for the Buckethead wibe since he plays a baritone and has killswitch on his guitars. Also i think he is one of the players that has made the most use of killswitches in my opinion.

I would want the killswitch to be latched. I already have one in my Warrior Pro. Not the same kind, it's a mini switch. The killswitch on the baritone looks huge. I really do hope the guitar fits in the Warrior/Kelly multi-fit case. These thin cheapass gigbags don't serve any purpose to me.

Looks like Jackson have pulled them from the website

Limited run?

[wilkinsi]

I don't recall it ever saying "limited edition" on the site. That title tends to be reserved for the Concept Series.

I checked again. Definitely not there. I guess peeps who were sent these guitars to review won't be giving them back to Jackson/Fender anytime soon, lucky bastards.

but they are still being sold in shops i think

[wilkinsi]

I can't see any of these guitars landing in a UK dealer this side of New Year.

[wilkinsi]

Fender say they are discontinued. If you can find one in a store, great. I can't see any at UK dealers

Their model name has LTD on it and in 1 shops description it says Limited edition so i think they were just a limited run.
