I have a question for you guys... That axe looks frikking sweet, but I looked up the prices for the Jackson Stars range... their version of the KE2 pretty much costs the same as a USA Select... So why would you go to the trouble of importing a 'Stars?

And it's cheaper (even after the custums and shipping) if I buy their version of RR1, SL1, DK1, KE2, whatever than buying the Jackson USA. You can save up to 550$ with Stars and you get same feature (even more options on Stars - floyd, schaller, kahler, tunomatic or strings thru; duncans or EMGs....) the quality is probably same also (didn't try US ones yet, but RR-J2SP is a dream to play).
I wanted a 24 fret, rearloader, 1 hum, mop sharkfins & ebony, necktrough guitar. It was either this or a Jackson CS. I bought this and don't regret a thing, plays 1000 times better than the RX10D.Last edited by Nazgul; 07-23-2006, 05:40 AM.

Besides, I'm not the one to talk, I have an Ibanez guitar standing here!
(An old Les Paul though, but anyway, hehe)

I'm glad that the guitar got to you safe, and that you like it. When I played it, I couldn't get it to balance well in a sitting position, and I didn't want to put a strap on and risk bumping into things before shipping it off to you
I've got a Schaller Floyd on my Grover Jackson Soloist, and ithink that it's an excellent trem (OFR's on all of my other guitars).

Schaller is a great trem indeed. Doesn't go out of tune no matter how much I abuse my whammy bar. One thing I noticed though, is that the recess for it is pretty shallow...I can bend a note with it for only 3/4 step. My jt580lp goes much higher. Is that normal or is it just because I have my trem set-up pretty low...upper edge of the baseplate is about 0.5mm above the guitar body.Last edited by Nazgul; 07-23-2006, 06:36 AM.
