First post got a USA jackson

[Tmoran]

I only have a crappy cell phone pic as my printer is messed up. But after many many guitars mostly high end customs and other usa guitars i finally have a jackson in my arsenal. I ended up trading a Warrior signature guitar (not the jackson but the brand warrior) for a brand spanking new KE2. Ive always lusted over these guitars but for some reason stayed away from jackson guitars (I was a snob) But im really impressed with the guitar. Its a natural finish with flame top. I had a choice between the natural, burnt cherry burst or white with black bevels. I was gonna go with the cherry but the top on the natural was better than most usa jacksons ive seen and the cherry didnt play as nice and also had a cosmetic flaw so the natural came home with me. Basically I just wanted to say hello and say that im proud to own this guitar. Its very aggressive yet classy at the same time. Ill get better pics as soon as I can figure out my printer issue.

That's really nice--love the wood grain. I, also, like the pup rings and is that a real FR?

[Tmoran]

yep, thats a real german floyd made by schaller. No "licensed by" crap for me.

OFR is the only trem that comes on a KE2, bud.

What's the neck like on the Natural Finish? I have a black sl2ht and the feel of the neck after time has gotten sticky when compared to my Ibanez bolt on neck which seems to get smoother with time. Is there a pretty thick clear coat on Jackson natural finishes?

[Tmoran]

it seems pretty thick. Im pretty sure they are using poly which is always pretty thick. The neck on this guitar doesnt get very sticky. But then again i wipe my guitars down after almost every use so it keeps any gunk in check.
