Talk me out of this please...

He is a sponsor here... maybe he'll give a discount to JCF members.

Absinthe frost...cool.
Reverse headstock...very cool.
Black binding on the neck and headstock...nice touch, especially with the black hardware
Dimarzios...no thanks but an easy swap for some Duncans.
Green zig zag inlays...DEAL KILLER in my books. Not my favorite inlays and it's just a little too much for me with the matching color.

Like Neilli said, you could probably order your own and tweak the specs for less.

So there's my attempt to talk you out of it.

From a cheapskate Point of view

Are you going to keep this forever? If not...

Do you feel good about losing 45% of value if you wanted to sell it down the road?

With the sell value of Jacksons being average 1k or less for USA selects and 2k under for Custom shops (usually less) that would kill the deal for me...

I just hate buying new guitars. I look at it like buying a new car.. soon as you close the deal. value drops in half!

And yeah everyone else is right. Think of all the other things you could get with that money...

[bodom10]

Well for the money you might as well get a custom shop jackson to YOUR spec.

[BayRocker]

The Zig Zag sharkies are the dealbreaker for me too! Easy pass.

[Big D]

Thanks guys. I think you succeeded.

I do like the guitar though, wish it wasn't so damn expensive.

[Ward]

Someone here ended up buying it, so you no longer need to be talked out of it!

[livewire]

whoever bought it repeat the following real loud and ssSlow...

"EYE YAM SOFA KING WE TODD DID"

and again... and again... one more time...

i keed i keed

[livewire]

i actually have my eye on a green guitar that is pretty cool (and expensive) as well

[MetalDaze]

What material do they use for the colored inlays?

[tobrooks]

Sticks and stones may.................. hey I do sound retarted!

[wilkinsi]

I concure with the "Get YOUR own CS" comment. Either that, or buy a USA Select and get Mike to paint it. Still cost you less than that 6 string pile of snot.

[roodyrocker]

I like regular sharkies better but the zig zags don't look bad to me on this one. I think its a pretty cool looking Soloist. Congrats to whoever got it.

[RacerX]

hey I do sound retarted!

Yes
