[usrname]

Beautiful man, just beautiful.

[hippietim]

the more i see that model, the more it grows on me. and now that you described the neck, i want one

[delt]

It must be Nick's. He took those pics when setting it up. Maybe he "naturally" oiled the fretboard or something. :ROTF:

HAHHAHAHAHAH

Wikkid fretboard inlays, but the body shape is just... not me. Kinda looks like a telecaster that got rescued from a nuclear holocaust =D

[JerEvil]

Very cool axe. I am in serious need of a guitar w/o a Floyd for lower tunings. I was thinking RR5 but that is damn purty.

The neck is sweet! Even though I have smaller hands, I feel more comfortable on a thicker neck, get less hand fatigue. It's not as round as, say, a Les Paul '59 neck (which I also love), but it seems a little wider.

Yeah, the body shape isn't for everybody. I love its sexy curves! It's kinda like a mutated baby of a Firebird or Reverse Firebird and a Tele, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Toronado.

Glad to see you got it Joe. Congrats! Man that is one thick piece of ebony

Yeah, it is sweet, definitely a great alternative if you don't mind the shorter scale. I was expecting the jumbo frets like stated on the site, was a little surprised when I saw the mediums, but no big deal for me either way. It's so light and resonant, too!
I might have chosen different pickups, but I've always liked the '59 as a neck pup in just about any guitar (though it can be a little bassy at times and I do seem to prefer brighter neck pups like the Jazz). I've never tried a '59 in the bridge, but this sounds pretty sweet. I think I'll leave it stock. The coil tap switches are a cool touch as well, I'll probably utilize them more for clean tones, especially on the neck.

Thanks, Dave! It sure is a thick board, very smooth. I haven't had a guitar with ebony in a long time. This is definitely one of the best imports Jackson's done in years. The MOP logo and MOP/Abalone inlays are a nice touch as well.

Even though I have smaller hands,

I've only got the ones I was born with. Although even if I had a choice, I'd probably still use my larger hands

[Strat God]

Beautiful guitar. Congrats!
Is it heavy? It looks kinda weighty.....in a good way.

[toejam]

Nope, not heavy. Mahogany neck-thru/mahogany body, but the body is chambered and pretty light. I was surprised at just how light it was.

[Newc]

Nice one

Definitely on the short list - right behind getting out of debt

The Jazz'R I used to have had a Jazz in the neck and '59 in the bridge, and that combo was perfect for the body style (chambered and all that).

[VEGETATHEPUPPET]

Nice guitar !!!!! Well.. its a Jackson

[GTarman68]

a grey pubic hair on your fretboard. Man, that ain't cool.

awesome looking axe, Joe. I've been riding my local Jackson dealer about these. They've already had a couple of COWs and DK2Ms through, it'd be cool if they could get some MMs in before LoG plays in here in April.

But then I'd probably have another must-have guitar to buy.

You Got Pubes man!!!.lmao..:ROTF:

Killer looking body!!
