  • LE #2 Your ideas please

    Well with the dk2le in now we can start thinking about options for LE #2. I've seen some very good ideas in previous threads and would like get them all in one place.

    Some that I remember:
    -A themed run. Another body style but otherwise the same as the dk2le.
    -24 fret Rhoads. I have heard through the grape vine that Jackson may add a 24 fret production import to the line, so it should be possible if this is true.
    -Kellystar. This will be very tough to pull off as it is not a standard production guitar right now, but we will try.

    Also, we have -a lot- of finish options. Some may get expensive so it has to be reasonable but there are still a lot of finishes that would make the guitar truely unique. I'm also trying to find out what inlay options we might have.

    And lastly, general price range. This has nothing to do with prices that have been discussed with a dealer, but I'd like to get a ballpark on what most of us would be willing to pay for a custom import. It'll probably all hinge on this for us to get the numbers we need, so it's important.
    lets say:
    -400-500?
    -500-600?
    -600-700?
    I know it probably all depends, and we would try to keep it as cheap as possible, but with the price increases and the nature of a somewhat custom guitar it is very difficult to keep the price down. I'd be willing to do the 600-700 range if I liked the guitar.

    So, any other ideas?

      We are looking at Japanese made guitars, since the jsrr is made in India it wouldn't necessarily be an option at the Japan plant.

          Is the Kelly Star the same as the Star? Anyway, I would be into a similar as our DK2LE in a regular Star model, just maybe a rosewood board to shake it up a bit and maybe black or something, but just 1 hum and black hardware. Jack.

            Here is the one I posted on the last thread. The idea was a nice "clean" look. Black & White on everything. A lot of contrast. Black neck & HS binding, bevels, logo & hardware. If possible, do an "ebonized" rosewood fretboard. Single EMG81. And, of course....A custom TR cover showing the name and/or number in B&W also. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]



            I'd say Scott at Vwall would be the guy to call on this one. He has some USA batchs running right now.

                  Is there a difference between the Star and Kelly star? If it is a Rhoads model I am out, I don`t like the way they ride on the body and the way the neck angle is, but I hope it is sweet if you guys go with it. Jack.

                    Kellystar is the guitar in this thread, link

                    It is not the same as a traditional Charvel "star".

                      You guys should go with that Rhoads that HuntinDoug posted. It keeps with the same theme as your DK2LE, which everybody liked. This way, there'd be no arguments.

                      Best of luck getting the 24 frets on that... I don't know whether it can be done or not. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

                        If the price is right, I might try and get in on the Rhoads.
                        I missed the DK2LE that ia a sweet guitar

                          Tempting if it would get approved as-is (USA select color scheme / 24 fret would be the big questions).

                          Nice looking design, no matter what.

                            Rhoads please. Would be nice if we can do a H-S-S Rhoads, but I would go for the 1 hum configuration too.

                            And I second the "ebonized" rosewood idea. Custom TR covers wouldn't hurt either [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
