  • 24 fret Import Rhoads!

    The PS3T was 24 fret. 1996 Catalog's got a nice clear pic of it (never noticed it before now).

    Anyway [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

    They fucked that one up. The '99 catalog had that, too. Have you ever seen a 24-fret Jackson neck with dots that didn't have them on the 24th fret, also? Don't you love people who photoshop catalogs and can't even piece the right parts together right? [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] There's also a red KE2 with black bevels, just one volume knob and no pickup selector switch. I assume it's got the George Lynch push/pull thing going on, or the catalog geniuses left it out. [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

      Course the same catalog also has a pic of a Phil Collen Archtop Pro - and how many have YOU seen? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

      Anyhoo, there's gotta be at least ONE 24 fret PS3T out there [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

          I've also seen the 24 fret PS3T picture you're speaking of, but I have yet to see one "in the wild" - or meet someone who has. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

            Was it Dave or somebody who modified a Rhoads bolt on body to accept a 24 fret neck? Someone on the JCF did it. Was cool too, but I've never seen 24 fret Rhoads in my life. Besides Custom orders, the "made for Japan" market did some...

            Gotta get away from here.

            Waitin' for the sun to appear..."

The 96 Jackson catalog (I thought) was done by AMIC employees who had been there for 6 years, and since Ft Worth came up with the import models, I assumed they knew what they were talking about.
                      Then again, the same catalog shows a KV2 as being a bolt-on 22 fret dot inlayed import. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

                      There has to be at least one out there, right? Black Mariah's got a neckthrough KVX10 proto, so there has to be a 24 fret Performer RR, right? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
