USA Custom Select - your thoughts?

[snowblind56]

Has anyone heard if the Custom Selects that are on order are still on schedule with the 4 month estimate?

I could really go for the SL1H except not a fan of black with black binding.....now if the color was pink......?

On a dealer special run of 10+ guitars, maybe. But not on a single customer-ordered Custom Select guitar.

A quote directly from the options sheet: "Custom Select options require standard size pickups that drop-in available base model pickup routes. Custom pickup configurations are available Masterbuilt Only."

Looks like 1-Hums are an option now; not sure about any other pickup configurations though.

I need a superstrat, so an one hum Dinky with a maple fretboard would be nice!

Yeah, I have no problem with the pickup rings from a cosmetic standpoint. After playing a bit on a guitar without them I think it feels more natural though.

Direct mounted pickups look cleaner and more streamlined, but i don't mind pickup rings either.

[snowblind56]

The only thing I wish was an option that isn't there would be direct mounted pickups with no rings.

After getting my SL2Q pro series I am now a convert. I think I would prefer if my SL2H was ringless.

At this point, with Jackson's having pickup rings is so ingrained in me that if they didn't have them, the guitar looks incomplete. I think direct mount works on plain guitars with dot inlay, but not on guitars that are fully bound and inlaid.

^ I see; thanks for the clarification. I thought they just added that as an option.

IMO I would love having the Custom Shop logo on the front. I don't get the trc hate either. Different strokes I guess.

I agree.

SAW THAT! Just emptied the sack . I never thought i would like a pink guitar, or anything else pink... Both the SL's 1 are awesome!

Jackson just posted a Custom Select series Product page on their website: http://www.jacksonguitars.com/en-CY/...=Custom+Select

Still want to bet that money?

Well, I'll be damned. Good thing I didn't specify an amount Makes me even more pissed that I can't order a Custom Select lefty
