just ordered a RR semi-custom!

[J0shTheDude]

I emailed Mai about it and he said July so, i've still got a couple more months of waiting impatiently for my new guitar.

I think we need a Jackson Stars section on here

I'm trying not to think much of it. But it's hard not to. I hate waiting.

Congrats on the order!! I think we will see more and more of this because of FMIC raising the prices on Jacksons so ridiculously high. Aren`t the mid 80`s JCM 800`s the ones with the 3 Caps instead of 6 like the originals or re-issues? I agree, the re-issues are way overpriced and I want one Jack.

220,800JPY.

And I was actually thinking a JCM800, I played one at my local Guitar Center, they had a used one, I loved it.

What does that work out to in US $$$, ........also how did you place the order, through a store or direct online??? I really am GASing for a RR single pickup model that doesn't cost an arm and a leg like the "artist" models and those LTD's that cost $1200+. Thanks in advance!! And good luck!

around $2000. I placed the order through online at www.ishibashi-music.com. Just email them about what you want.

They also knock off a huge chunk of the list price. Mine would have been about 1800US but after I had them change the nut size it still only came out to about 1480 (not exact price but in that range) so.. but mine was a rhoads. the price of the Kelly I am ordering which is full custom is maybe a hundred dollars more.

Depending on who you talk to, they will in fact bend over backwards to answer any questions. So far so good as far as my experience goes.

The 7-string custom Kelly I ordered cost about 1650 USD (inc. shipping). It's due in June.

It'll have a fixed bridge, which is what I wanted, but I did get a quote for an FR. It worked out as an expensive option at around 330+ bucks, but that could be because it's a 7.

I hope it doesn't suffer a shipping disaster like Sully's LTD!

The weak Yen / strong Euro is giving me GAS. Those Edwards E-CY-165CTM on ikebe-gakki look mighty tempting!

that's definitely true, list price for my guitar was about 250,000 yen (something like that, don't exactly remember, too lazy to check). And total price for my semi-custom including shipping and insurance was only 220,000 yen. To me, that's a hell of a deal. If I ever decide to order another guitar it'll definitely be through them.

I'm still thinking what guitar I'll get in the future, because I'll be keeping this Rhoads model for awhile, and I'll probably end up wanting to have another guitar.

Yeah I emailed Mai about the Edwards Alexi model, I really want one for some sick reason. But I have like three more Rhoads, two kellys and two King V's to order first.

[xenophobe]

220,000 yen = $1843.24 USD

Anyone know how to put out a GAS fire?

I think you'll have to invest in advanced surgery to get more hands to play all those guitars! That said, I'm seriously looking forward to seeing them all. This Jackson Stars thing has been somewhat of a revelation (to me, at least).
