Kinda getting fed up with my KBRs. I love the look of them and the way they play, but for some reason i cant get a good tone from them, i have tried changing pickups and still nothing. Recently i have really started to like the mortons, i finally got to play one and man the necks are HUGE. I play mostly metal and like to shred. Wondering about sound, and playability , and what you guys think of the morton??? Pics would be nice too!! thanks guys

I've got a KBRR and, aside from a few days here and there, it's spent more than a year in its case since I got the Dominion. The KB is great for heavy stuff, but that's about it. The Dominion is very versatile and will give you most any sound you want. Yeah, the neck is pretty big, but has a great feel to it. Preferences vary from person to person, of course. The Dominion is a keeper, but the KB will probably be replaced by a proper RR1T.

I got to try a Morton last month at the local FMIC outlet center. It has the same neck profile as my COW DK6 (odd enough, all other DK6s I've tried had a different profile to mine) and felt pretty similar in terms of playability.
I can assure you that despite of the thickness, or maybe even because of it, it is very comfortable to play. Took me about two days to really get adjusted to my COW, but then I noticed that I could play for even longer periods without my hands getting tired. I use my COW for technical deathmetal, so fast and technical stuff definitely works.
I liked the sound and versatility of the Morton, though I'd probably change the pickups. It also looks very nice with the inlays and quilt top.
If you like the shape, go for it!
I don't... I think the shape is very fugly... well too bad for me, my loss.

Crafted with the demands of the discernible player in mind, Jackson guitars give you the shapes, finishes and tones you love. From the venerable Rhoads, Soloist, Warrior and more, shop Jackson for the highest performance.
But are the inlay's MOP/Abalone, as on a KV2T, or are they MOTO?
That KBRR in green is drool-worthy. If only it had 24 frets...

Also, it says it's got jumbo frets, but they're smaller, medium jumbos like on the KV2 (which also states jumbo).
It also says the bridge is a "Schaller® 456 Fully Adjustable Bridge with Anchored Tailpiece".
This is actually a 456
Jackson needs to get their info straight before they put it in print. :ROTF:I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
