I've already sent two pictures of it. One, a bit better, yesterday. They probably know what the non-recessed bridge is. I'm afraid that they probably don't know how to make it or have little experience...non-recessed bridge requires some neck-angle.

According to Jackson Stars,the non-recessed bridge is not acceptable for
custom-order in terms of accuracy and quality for playing.

And if some parts of an J-Stars are made in the US... Is there an "Jackson-Stars made in usa-Logo" on it?
They have a couple Mike Shannon built Jackson Stars guitars here:
They have a Made in U.S.A. Custom Shop logo on them. And incredible price.

eakinj, where did you order your custom? Ishibashi? If so, what sales agent did you talk to?
on second thought, maybe it was Mai.Last edited by eakinj; 06-27-2007, 09:59 AM.In the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on Nyquil

Hey thanks for the pic Alex! That is your custom IIRC, right? Did you order it? With Daisuke? How much did the non-recesed bridge change the price? Did your neck have a tilt (angle)? Were you able to get a low action on the guitar (1.2-1.3mm at 12th fret)?

I ordered an RRJ1EK semi-custom back in March that should be coming next month. Only things I changed were the body (mahogany instead of ash), and the neck pickup (EMG 85 instead of 81).
I think I might add straplocks later, and I'm thinking of doing an 18v upgrade for the EMGs. And if I get the money together, I might get steel rollers and a steel cam for the Kahler. I'm definitely going to get the heavy springs though, I heard that the normal springs only support 10-46 gauge, I play with 10-52.
And just incase anybody gets curious, the guy I talked with at Ishibashi was Daisuke.

I have a Kelly due in mid-July. I ordered it in February and it was due in June, but it has been delayed a little. Of course I'm going on vacation in mid-July. Doh!
Hopefully I'll have pictures in a couple of weeks, so I won't ruin the surprise by disclosing the specs just yet.
I also ordered through Ishibashi, but I'm dealing with Hiroaki. He's been great.
I wouldn't fret about the delays in responding to e-mail Uros. I think it does take time for them to bounce questions off the factory. Every request for something new took about a week for me. Where's the rush?!Last edited by ken; 06-28-2007, 02:37 AM.
