Reverse Strat head for me. That thing is friggin sick with a Keyhole brass v-trem, unreal top/color and of course the reverse strat head on a Jackson. Totally unique and different IMO. Keep in mind that you asked for us to pick only one. The others wouldn't be kicked out of bed either.
Yup all cool, but even though the red soloist is beautiful and would better suit my needs in floyds, hss config and 24 frets, I'd take that green reverse strat any day. That is just a spectacular figured body. I'm honestly quite amazed. Radioactive almost

It was my dream guitar I always wanted but could never find. SOOO, I had the neck built by an employee at Jackson, a friend of mine in Finland sent me the brass keyhole trem STILL IN THE PACKAGE (1978) and I ordered the body from Warmoth.
The neck is a copy of my old Pre Pro Charvel but with an extra fret added. I actually sent my pre pro neck in to be used as a template. EVERY measurement was replicated. THe back of the neck is a SICK piece of flame maple.
As fo the body, I was going for looks and playability. It is an alder body with a AAAA quilt top in greenburst. THe back of the body is candy green metallic with the cut away neck joint for all access. The guitar was a little bright with the maple top and I went through a bunch of pickups before settling on a Full Shredd. I HATE that pickup in any other guitar except this one.
This guitar is my number 1 and my baby.. A total labor of love.. Is sounds, looks and plays KILLER.
So the maple one has a recessed trem?? That comes as a surprise to me.
