Aside from changing the control layout, I'd like to see the DK2M come with a sustainer/JB jr (or some other single-sized hum) in the neck slot. I think the idea of an OFR is cool but I'm afraid that would really drive up the price...I don't mind adding an OFR myself after the initial purchase.

[Dreamland_Rebel]

Hotrod Series!!!!

[diffrent strings]

bring back the archtop pro

[slayer]

In theory add an OFR after buying a Pro series guitar is good, but all Jackson would have to do is add about $100 on to the price in the beginning and just add the OFR from the get go.I actually like the Natural headstock look, especially with the black binding and logo!! Jack.

[GodOfRhythm]

Binding around the neck! Binding around the headstock would be cool as well, but not as important to me, it's more of an ease-of-playing thing in my book!

[spencer4hire]

Combine a DKMGT body with a DXMGT neck. Import the Japanese market NASL.
Bring back either a version of the Model 6 or the 750XL (yeah I know these were Charvels but just Jackson logo them!).

[Flatpicker]

Here's my 2 cents:
Should have an Import with a shortscale. call it the DK24 3/4 or whatever.
Or better yet bring back the Fusion name for them.
String thru models besides the floyds.
Floyds should be OFR.
Ditch the Duncan JB. Keep the jazz.
Amps have a lot more power now, I don't need to drive it with a pickup.
Dimarzio pickups would be great, SD, Airzones.
Neon colors would be awesome, crackles even better.
Bring back pearl colors, pearl white, black, blue, etc.
Battery component for actives.
Look at the Jackson Stars line and bring over the NASL and 24fret RR.
You bring the NASL here with an ebony board and I'd order it that day.
There should be an import JJ model.
Should have a model with HSH config.
Use Hipshot trems on your non-floyded trem guitars
Consider issuing the tremol-no installed on trem guitars.
One more thing:
You should have a Tele based model back in the lineup.
Just sneak over to the otherside of the building and "borrow" the necessary templates and parts.
They have so many, I'm sure they won't notice...

Well yeah if they just tacked on $100 I'd save $70-80 not having to buy one from warmoth...that'll work.

[slayer]

Ya, that is why I said $100, since they cost us $150-200 and our time or costs to have someone install it It may cut down on Jacksons profits a little, but they buy the Floyds in bulk. Jack.

Yes, my #1 want would be a DK2M Short Scale(Fusion in a sense) in a 1 hum with/without Floyd.I could live with 2 hums or H/S though.A DK2M string thru is a no brainer in my opinion. Jack.

[Sunbane]

There has to be limit to what you can put on the imports to prevent them from stealing market shares from the USA-made series. I believe this is why the Pro series (for the most part) don't have ebony boards and OFRs, right? Rosewood is fine. Maple is cooler. Floyd type bridges and pickups can be replaced as the owner sees fit. I (personally) don't mind plastic inlays. An import is an import after all.

Binding around the neck! Binding around the headstock would be cool as well, but not as important to me, it's more of an ease-of-playing thing in my book!

Quoted for truth. Well...maybe not ease of playing per se, but a bound neck definitely feels a lot nicer to play on.

As for looks, I think a neck with sharktooth inlays looks "naked" without binding. There are three things that really scream "JACKSON" to me, and those are A) the RR shape, B) the headstock, and C) a bound neck with sharkies. If there is one thing the Pro-series needs now, it's neck binding.

There have been some really interesting suggestions in this thread. I really like these:

- Bringing back the Fusion.

- Bringing back the Archtop Pro.

- Bringing in Japan-only models, such as the NASL and the RR-J1/J2. Maybe for a limited time?

(I have been preaching for a long time for 24 fret RRs, but even so, I would hate to see the classic old 22-fretters go. I think there is a place for both 22 and 24 fret RRs. )

I would like to add:

- How about a limited re-release of the Warrior Pro, complete with slanted fretboard end and pickups? ...Or make the WR-1 look like that? That is how the WR model was originally designed after all.

Thanks again for listening in to the community, John! I'm sure you will find plenty of ideas for making Jackson guitars even more exciting in the years to come!

[wixedmords]

More pearls and candy-apple paint.

I have seen enough swirls, and flames. New designs please.

More pickup options, other than the JB, a Superdistorton would be grand.

Binding on the SL3 and SL4 would rock also.

[Jackson-Charvel]

Like I posted in the other thread on the special edition DK2M, I wish that guitar with humbucker would have the same finish options as a DK2M and instead of renaming the whole guitar, call it a DK2M reverse.

I know there is the 1 and 2 humbucker difference, but here is also a suggestion for the Pro Series, and you should offer pickup configuarations, or at least 3 to choose from like 1 hum, 2 hum, or hum sing.

Back to the Schaller JT-590. Why did Jackson stop using these trems? Either that or an OFR. If the trem is the weakest link, people are going to opt for the cheaper X series/MG series fixed bridge models.

For the Pro Series like was said many times ditch the MOFO plastic crap and get MOP back in there. Honestly it doesn't cost that much more per guitar for the little amount of material the inlays actually consist of.

Lastly a RR3 with the DK2M reversed neck, and yes PAINTED HEADSTOCK!!!

Which reminds me that special edition is nice with the painted headstock so my last suggestion is painted headstocks for all DK2M's. That is all.

[Jackson-Charvel]

Move the damn volume knob out of the way and I'll don a tu-tu and dance in the street!

Take your hands off the knob and step aside and no one will get hurt.

why not just start importing the jackson-stars guitars along side the current imports? they are made in the same factory right?

that seems like it would be easy, and would allow for guitars like the NASL to be brought over and compete with schecter and ESP/LTD. it is a different shaped guitar and could be more appealing to guitarists that like the idea of jackson but are put off by pointy guitars.

jackson-stars offers (or at least did offer) ash body soloists, 24 fret RRs, and some of the other things that seem to be requested here.

shoot, maybe don't even re-logo them....just call them "jackson-stars" and have that be the import line?

i don't know. i have never cared for jackson imports. i want to like them but something always needs to be changed, and i can just buy USA selects and get what i want out of the box......but i do think considering the jackson-stars is a good idea.
