Misha Mansoor's New Custom Shop Jackson 7

he hasn't completely blocked it anyway. If he plays with the spring cavity cover off the guitar, he can lock or unlock the tremol-no as needed.

I'd love one just like it with a maple fret board

Not a fan of his maple fb dinky, but I love this new one! Would love to see that as a sig...

[wilkinsi]

Nice colour, don't like the neckjoin or the smurfhat headstock.

[leftykingv2]

Both pretty cool but they do look like Ibanez Sabres.

[kmanick]

not a huge fan of his dinky either, this new one looks nicer to me (I'd prefer a floyd on one of mine too)
the Maple freat board on his dinky looks kind of .....meh to me.

Glow in the dark side markers... just noticed that

I think he stated on ss.org that he wanted it to look like a Daemoness and something else. If that's the case, why not just get a Daemoness? While I think it's a cool looking guitar, there is nothing there that resembles what made Jackson famous. Idk, same thing with Broderick's "Soloist". Both are cool, but they are too far removed from a classic Jackson that I can't really get into them.

[VitaminG]

what is a "classic Jackson" though? This isn't a Concorde. It's not a Zoraxe either. Jackson was about innovation and making what their customers want, not just churning out lurid pink Soloists. Jeff Beck's orange Soloist wasn't classic Jackson, and Marty Friedman had the audacity to downsize the classic Kelly. Now people love the smaller Friedman-sized KE.

Every oddball "classic" shape was at one time a break from what had gone before. The Demon, the Kelly, the Rhoads, the KingV, the Stealth. All now distinctly Jackson. Depending on what time you learned of the brand, none of them "classic Jackson".

Very well said VitaminG.

Looks like an Ibanez!!!!

I really like this guiitar, I'd love to see that neck joint make it into production guitars but I'd be interested to see Ibanez's reaction.
