USA Custom Select - your thoughts?

[Nightbat]

Also the reason for the fast turn sround is because the bodys have all mostly been built

Why am I guessing either Fender invested in a few extra routers and the woodshop went into 24/7 production
or they're outsourcing work?

(and why do i get an uncomfortable feeling with both)

Chris did not mention either. He did say that all the first Charvel Pro mods were made by Fender and NOT Jackson at all. I think lots of people knew that though.

If you guys didnt see my other post. I talked to Chris Cannella last night and he said they ARE still taking orders for the Custom Select line.

I did not see your post, is there reason be believe this is already coming to an end? I am hoping to jump on one in the future, but currently don't have funds.

[mr426]

Its somewhere in this post, someone said they stopped taking orders because they got a flood of them. Both Chris and the Jackson rep said no its still full on

[neilli]

Yeah, that's horseshit. Quite the reverse apparently - from what I understand, they're chomping at the bit to get orders...

[mr426]

I just could not imagine this being put together and less than a month later they cut it off. I wont get one this round, but if they offer one hums next time and or non trems, Im there. Im gonna order another custom shop though

[neilli]

Well mine's on order anyway

FYI - I was just informed that reverse headstocks are now available as an option on Custom Select guitars for $300.00 MSRP.

That is awesome!

[mr426]

What did you order Nelli?

[neilli]

That'd be telling wouldn't it?

[mr426]

Well yes..Thats why I asked...HAHAH

[xenophobe]

That'd be telling wouldn't it?

Doesn't it kinda kill you though?

I have an amazing story, but I can't tell it for another 20 months.

[neilli]

Tease

[wilkinsi]

nope, maple fretboard is available for a whopping $25 extra.

Is that all?! WOOHOO!!

I'm thinking I should ask for a pair of JB's to go in there while I'm at it.

[wilkinsi]

Yeah the reverse is $300ish IIRC though. Nobody like those WR1's anyways though.


*ducks*

True. That's why I own one. Second brick incoming!
