As a matter of fact....
Top to bottom:
NASL-160 in Antique Cherryburst
NASL-J2E in gloss black (originally came with black hardware and EMGs - swapped them out for Duncans and gold)
NASL-160 in Antique Cherryburst (the New Old Stock one that I mentioned - my first one)
NASL-145 in Trans Black - At least I think it's the 145. It's definitely an older "Pre-J" model, but it's not a 110 since those had dot inlays. I seem to recall there being a 145 (or 130?) on the old J-Stars site that had similar specs/inlays to the 160, but without binding. I also seem to recall there was like a "30" or "45" difference between each model level (110, 130/145, 160).I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Wow, I didn't know you had that many, Newc. You are the NASL-Master."Quiet, numbskulls, I'm broadcasting!" -Moe Howard, "Micro-Phonies" (1945)Comment

Yup. Almost had a 5th one the other day from Ishibashi but it was gone before I could get it. It was a nice trans red 145.
I'd love to find one in trans white or trans blue.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Now that Jackson Stars are no more, will the value of Jackson Stars likely go up or will the value go down ?Comment

I'll go with "what is stay the same" Alex.

Dealers blew out the Jackson Stars at 50% list or less when the trademark issue was resolved and Jacksons for the Japanese market could be branded just "Jackson" again, at least here in Japan.
What's disappointing to me is that accompanying the end of "Japanese market only" guitars, there are no longer "high end" MIJ Jacksons (ebony, MOP, OFR, etc.).Until you get weaned off the boobie, you are going to have to do what the wife wants too. -RsmackerComment

It really is a shame they shut down the jstars custom shop. I don't think if they kept them Japan market only that it would have impacted US custom shop or even really USA select sales.GTWGITS! - RacerXComment

For sure. I'm glad I got mine when I didOriginally posted by Hellbat View Post
Actually, it was nearly impossible to buy new USA Jacksons in Japan for about 15 years or so, because the only entity that was allowed by law to import/sell Jackson branded guitars was Kurosawa Gakki, who owned the registration for the mark "Jaxon" with respect to musical instruments (which was revoked last year). So in Japan, USA Jacksons were only available at Kurosawa Gakki shops in the Tokyo/Yokohama area.I don't think if they kept them Japan market only that it would have impacted US custom shop or even really USA select sales.Until you get weaned off the boobie, you are going to have to do what the wife wants too. -RsmackerComment
