Master build custom shop guitars

[lkgwarrior]

Hey guys, am currently finishing my order with my local dealer for cs warrior, but the other day he rang me up and asked whether I had considered getting it master built. I then said that I wasn't aware that Jackson did master build jobs for custom shop orders, but he was positive they did. Could anyone shine some light on this for me, I though only fender did master build jobs not Jackson?

You can have your guitar build by the custom shop or you can ASK for one of the guys that have been there forever like Mike Shannon or Pablo and have it masterbuild.

And my opinion on that is that there is a noticeable difference between a USA Production and a true Custom Shop guitar (see below). As for the Master Builders, I only have one (a Pablo Warrior Extreme) and there is not any noticeable difference in tone or playability to me with that than other Customs.

And when I say "noticeable difference" the quality is identical, but there is a certain tonality and playability that exists with a true Custom Shop Jackson that I don't see much in their standard USA Production guitars. Over the last 14 years of collecting, buying, selling and trading, I've only found a small handful of USA Productions that are on par with a genuine Custom Shop. With only 1 Master Build I can't really say, but there's not much difference in it and the Customs...

thanks guys, im assuming it would cost alot more and take alot longer to have one of these legendary builders like shannon or pablo build my guitar. its a cool thought though, having this one guy doing nearly everything on your dream guitar. il have to weigh up the options when the price and time confirmations come in. cheers.

Did they say it would be an extra charge?

How much if someone else builds it but Pablo picks it up at the end and says "Damn, this is a mighty fine built guitar"

I've never known this MB thing when i ordered my guitar half year ago. But after i finished the spec, i received my work order whose title has Mike shannon's name. Is this is a MB guitar or not??? :P

I thought Master Built option was gone few years ago.

[Dave Rocks]

Unless you plan to video tape the entire build...do you really think this is anything more than a sales tool?......

And when you get a Master Built Jackson they give you a DVD of the build process.

I have one of the Legacy MB NAMM Charvels...It is a great guitar, but I wouldnt pay for an upcharge

If you do get one masterbuilt (if that is even possible), I recommend getting it signed. Otherwise, if you have to sell it on the bay down the road, your listing won't start with "I was told..."
