Compared to a normal Jackson, that's better placement.

Damn. 6300 bucks.. getting crazy up in here!

It's much better than a KV or RR with that 2nd volume jammed right on top of the toggle switch.

That thing looks great... wait, there something wrong. An extra string? I'm going to New York in the fall and I'm definitely heading out to the Music Zoo! Still kicking myself for not buying that Broderick sig. (one of the first) they had the last time I was there. Signed by Chris two days before I got there even.

Nothing wrong with that guitar, other than the fact that it's demon.

I'm not much of a 7 string guy but that Demon looks fantastic! I also happen to like Jackson's volume knob placement as it works really well for volume swells. On a Rhoads body style I prefer to reverse the two volume knobs so that the front one actually controls the bridge pickup and the rear one controls the neck pickup.

I just cannot imagine doing Danny Gatton-style volume swells on a Jackson. I'm not a Metal Snob, but I just can't see it being done.

I don't know if Knob means the same in the U.S. as it does in the U.K...but , well lets just say I thought this was one of 'smakers threads....

Back on topic, normally i would agree but since this it's recessed it probably isn't as intrusive as you would think.

I so wish all my Jackson/Charvels had that knob placement.
As of now it's only my CS Soloist that has the volume knob placed out of the way,
all others has the shitty standard placement, right under the bridge pup...to close to my right hand.

Yeah man my KV2's second knob does nothing but get in the toggle switches way!. Especially when you're on the neck position. It's a major fail by Jackson. Such a bad design flaw.

That's a 7 string and actually a good position.

This is the knob placement many people complain about:

[Newc]

Yeah, that's the Danny Gatton placement. Dead-center of the bridge pickup's height screw. Right where my pinky rides. I swear I'll never understand why they still put it there.
