Custom Select Warriors! Who else is getting one?

[Scholomance]

I was pretty stoked to hear the news of Jackson doing the Custom Selects. As of this week, I have an order for a new Warrior in with Matt's Music and it'll probably be a first in this color (wanna guess?) for Warriors! Its been several years since I've gotten a new Warrior and I'm super excited to get this one. I have been playing mostly 7 strings for the last few years but I couldn't resist a new 6'er. This will be my first Jackson with stainless steel frets, another thing I'm excited about. I've got them on my Carvins and they make a world of difference. Anyone else got a Custom Select Warrior in the mill?

Color - Platinum Pink?

Warriors aren't for me but I'm starting to think about replacing my two Les Pauls with one Soloist.

[Force]

Colour - Cockdragon vomit?

Whatever it is, we can't wait to see it.

Really? How so?

^ They are resistant to wear and tarnish, so they keep that "brand new" feeling a lot longer. People usually refer to how much smoother bends are. They do sound a little different, but not freakishly different.

oh....and Jackson.........LEFTY CUSTOM SELECTS PLEASE!!!!!!!

Color - Platinum Pink?

Right on the first guess? Seriously? How do you know me so freaking well? Metaldaze is correct on the frets. They are so smooth and fluid, though not slick. Depending on the guitar, sometimes when I go back to regular frets, it feels like the frets may as well be an old serrated steak knife edge. Given how amazing Jackson necks are, I'm imagining the stainless with that will be heavenly. I haven't noticed any difference in sound, since I'd need a Carvin without them to compare.

I had a Carvin accident with mixed stainless steel and nickel frets (half and half). I could never hear any difference between the tone of fretting at an SS vs nickel fret.

Idk, I ordered my Custom Select DK1 in Platinum Pink.

I “Really” want a warrior, but I’m too poor for a new one... guess I need to start saving

[Scholomance]

Looking forward to seeing your DK1. I really wish they offered a met. or pearl yellow for these.

I contemplated getting Graffiti Yellow.

[Scholomance]

I haven't ruled that out for another Warrior. I am not sure how bright the color actually is. Some of the pics online are everywhere from a banana yellow to a super bright lemon yellow. I want bright and obnoxious.

As much as I'd like a custom USA Select Warrior, it won't happen. Aside from financial issues, I prefer the Warrior Pro. And in Pearl Yellow too.
