Perhaps a bit too much.

Its all cherry.
I have ran it into the ground as well.
My apologies.

Does this mean we can get Shannon soloists again?

Hmmm can't find it...it was in the middle of one of the heated Fender posts last winter...

Because the rumor at the time was he left Jackson in part because of Donnie Wade. Sounds like a marketing ploy by the VP of Marketing himself.

So it looks like the prices on those old Shannon Soloists are gonna come down I guess then.

Re: Mike Shannon Back at Jackson Custom Shop 100%

I disagree 100% with that statement. If anything, this will expose more consumers to Mike's name and handywork, and bring more interest in the "old" 1998 Shannons.

Anyone have an extra Blue Ghost Flame Shannon they want to sell? My spare needs a spare.

Kev, I suppose what I meant was USA Production didn't suffer with Shannon's departure. I only own one Custom Shop from 1999 and it's as good as all of my "Shannon era" Custom Shops, of which I own quite a number of. I also have several of the USA Selects from when Shannon was absent and they are fine specimens, on par with the Custom Shop Warrior I have. I'm glad he's back too, I just like seeing people remain true to one thing for a long time. Like John Elway, stayed on the same team for all those years, won a SB, was a Pro Bowler, etc. All with the Broncos. I'm currently teaching in room #109 A. I envision my self being 65 when the next teacher gets this room!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well I was merely stating that for 2 reasons. The first reason being simple that since there will be more Shannon soloists in the future hence creating more supply to meet the current demand. Furthermore the only people who have a demand for Shannon soloists are the big time Jackson fans much like the people on this board. The vast majority will just say good soloist=Jackson and not look any further into it. And the second reason being Mike Shannon is probably even more experienced now than he was 5 years ago creating even higher quality work than before. Seems that the old ones, while still extremely high quality guitars, might just fall short of what he might be capable of producing these days hence a drop in the overall desire to own them. Although I must admit it will probably be nice to score those guitars on the cheap because they are very very nice.

But regardless it's good too see Jackson getting an excellent craftsman back to help out the team.
