DiMarzio Tone Zones or Super Distortions as stock bridge pups instead of the lame Duncan JB!


The Duncan Jazz is a damn fine neck pup, though.

[Sinistas]

The DK2M in ALL body styles.

I'll address some color issues. Seriously, something needs done to the import eerie dess swirl. I'm not saying it should look like the USA paint job, because that is just too dark. But, something needs changed. A simple reverse of the colors might work, placing the purple in the middle and green to the outside. Or, how about an import version of holoflake? A new import graphic would be cool as well.
And, since the PC1 has a licensed headstock now, is there any chance of reviving the PC3 with a licensed headstock? And, this time you should put a sustainiac or cheaper sustainer in it and an OFR. And, instead of quilt tops, solid colors could be offered or some unique import graphics.

I like my import EDS just fine...

I don't think Paul Gilbert blames Jackson for deficiencies in your technique either.

You're wrong, I talked to Paul Gilbert the other day and he specifically blames Jackson Guitars for his shoddy technique and pinky hitting things all the time.

[wicked_lester]

wow

[wicked_lester]

Just for the record, I'm not blaming Jackson specifically as a *lot* of guitar manufacturers do the same thing. Some of you don't care for my preference of moving the vol knob away from the bridge pickup, fine that's cool but don't assume I have shoddy technique (shaa right). You don't know me from Adam. As I said I have a preference to have more room for picking and that is all.

Some of you seem to have taken this as a personal attack (on my part) against Jackson guitars...far from it. I love Jacksons hell that's why I'm here. I bought my first Charvel in '87 and have loved them ever since. I'm just tired of almost every guitar manufacturer assuming that I want to do pinky swells all the time and I'd like to see one of my favorite guitar companies offer a quality import guitar with more room for my fingers when I speed pick.

BTW, Jackson actually did place the vol knob lower on at least one of the old "performer" series guitars from the 90's.

I don't believe that is correct. I just looked at catalog pics of all the performer models and the volume knobs are all in the same place.

Nice idea! I'd like to see "mm2002 Green or Yellow" & "Budman Pink" listed as production colours in the 2007 catalog

Ha! I may be able to make some dough off this idea! My nuclear neon blinding radioactive green is my own secret formula. If Jackson wants my secret formula, it'll cost them at least 20 bucks and a 12 pack!

Dude, I'll give you $30 and a 30 pack!

dude, you could be the second coming for all I know. I was just joking around. Nobody's taking anything you've said as an attack on Jackson. You're not the only JCFer that has expressed the same dissatisfaction with the location of the volume knob on a Jackson. Some here actually remove the tone knob altogether so they can shift the volume to that position, just to get it out of the way.

[Tornet]

I wouldn't mind a few neckthru's with Floyd's.
What I'm really missing in both US Select and Import series is a 1(One) Hum with Floyd Rose, preferably neckthru.

Yup, that's what I do. I really hate bumping into the knob, and the best (although not the prettiest) solution is to relocate it.

[Crusher]

How about a KV2T with regular headstock & sharkfins?

Single hum RR1 & RR1T?

[jcm800x]

Knob placement has never worked for me either, move it!

- Neck binding on the RR5.

- More finish options for the RR5 would be nice, too, like transparent and natural finishes on figured veneers.

- More maple fretboards. (great job on the DK2M)

- A green/yellow swirl like Eerie Dess and Crimson. "Toxic Swill."

- More import neck-thru's. LTD does it. Ibanez does it.

- Ditch that god-awful liscensed Floyd you're putting on the DK2's. It feels cheap, seriously. Even screwed down all the way, there's a ton of play in the arm.

That's about it. Otherwise I'd say you're doing extremely well for the price point.
