For the moment, the prices aren't what I'd like to see, the options otoh are

Options are cool to start with and prices dont seem too crazy. It almost seems like you get 50 color choices again for the select line....I do like the maple board option, but there is no black binding option, so that idea is killed..

Yes Quilt and flame 1/8 tops are $400. There are a fairly extensive list of transparent colors and bursts for these too.

Towards the end Chris talks about the Custom Select and mentions a reverse headstock!

What's the starting prices like? Are they the current list prices (insanely high), or the street prices?

Thanks for the video Richard! He does mention pickup changes and reversed headstock options on the custom selects... This is a good idea on Jackson's part. They probably had someone read this forum and saw everyone bitching about 2 year wait times

Been looking at the list and I'm happy.

There are a lot of no cost options. (most passive pickup swaps, lots of the basic colors)
Looks like Jackson may find it's footing using the Carvin model. Gotta say, I like the direction they are going.

I don't see the prices as insanely high for what you get.

No problem friend! Glad I could help!

I don't see the prices as insanely high for what you get.

For example; MSRP for a WR1 $3200-$4000, now tell me if this isn't insanely high!!!
Where the street prices for the same guitar are currently about $2400-$2700!

I'm just wondering if the new CS Select prices will start at the MSRP level or not!

The base price for a WR1 is 3199.99. If you don't make any changes to it you're golden. You even have a pretty significant list of options at no charge you can make. Paint and pickup changes are pretty much $0 until you go active and or spakle/metallic colors. The prices are pretty much in line with USA select guitars.

How would that work for a guitar that comes with some of those cost options? DK1 for exxample: It comes with an oiled neck and EMGs as part of standard DK1 build, but according to the sheet, those options will be an additional $250 to the base price of $2666.00, which is the cost of a basic DK1 now.

the color options are AWESOME!!!! all-in-all this seems to be a KILLER thing. i am excited!!!

Hmm, so the MSRP is the base price, that's what I was afraid of!
So if I wanted a quilted top on WR1 with one single hum and a reversed headstock, I'm looking at $4000+ range? Still too steep for me...
