Couldn't resist...

Thanks! I am hoping so. Puts me down to this one incoming, my Tacoma EKK9, the '88 Jackson Soloist Custom "Glow In The Dark Lava", and, a USACG Iceman...but I'd rather have a couple nice ones than a herd of moderate ones.

It's in the Denver Metro Facility! Should be in my hands tomorrow evening.

It arrived safely and I am pleased!!! Question for the experts...is this TRC Original Jackson Custom Shop???

Along with the Iceman and the 5150 Combo; I'm feeling pretty "set" at the moment. Prior to my divorce 2.5 years ago I was down to a sweet '82 Gibby LP Standard Modified. an '89 Fender Custom Shop Floyd Rose Charcoal Burst Stratocaster and a '78 JMP 2104 and was feeling pretty satisfied. Trying to focus on more playing and less buying and projects! After a long time in the darkness I'm seeing the light again.

I'll take some better pics at some point this weekend. It's a great guitar. Plugged it in and played it as soon as I got home and for about an hour last night. Pretty much feels like the GITD in all aspects. Neck may be a bit smaller/less wide but I'm quite pleased with it. Wasn't sure I would like the Screamin' Demon but I actually dig both pickups as they pair very well together and sound great. No regrets about letting the MIII and Warmoth Strat Deluxe go; very glad I made the decision to buy it.

I've determined that I'm not a fan of the Screamin' Demon...so she's going to be full on DeMartini with a CS MJ RTM!!!

Congrats! I've seen that truss rod cover on other Jacksons before.

[v4rg]

can this trussrod-cover be bought somewhere?

[Tetsuo]

I love it. That is a sweet guitar a,though that truss rod cover is meh but it could grow on you.

Probably. I don't think Jackson actually made them, I'm fairly sure they ordered it from a company that specializes in them.

Several years sometime around 2005-ish, Jackson was doing different things... trying to offer leatherbound MasterBuild folders with certificates and CDRoms with pictures of the build... sending off some guitars with custom truss covers... there was someone actually at the corporate office trying to do cool things, they came out with the first official Charvel Stratheads, etc...

TRC definitely doesn't go w/anything about the guitar IMHO but I threw it on for now...we'll see if it stays.

I wrote the same thing earlier, but was having some internet problems so it never posted.

Like I said earlier in the thread, I wish they would just stop putting them on. They're drilling 3 holes into a nicely finished headstock to put a 20 cent piece of plastic on it.
