    As for the inlay situation; the only thing that I can say is that it has been worked out. I don't want to give all the details about it because one never knows who is reads these post.

    I can tell you that, no, I did not get a discount or partial refund from Jackson on my guitar and I did not get the Charvel. I was put in touch with the dealer who did get the Charvel and he did offer to sell it to me, but.... lets just say it was a weee bit out of my price range.
    However, I have been assured that my guitar is the only Jackson/Charvel guitar with the exact same inlays.

    As for my Kelly; I think what makes it so appealing is that it's so simple. There are really only two colors on it, black and "wood." No bright colors, no graphics, just a simple guitar and it stands out. However, I must give credit where credit is due. Initially, I was inspired by Hetfield's Ken Lawrence explorer. I wanted to personalize it though, hence the inlays and reverse harpoon headstock. As earlier stated, the "burned on" Jackson logo came from one of Mustaine's Vs. I did have it clear coated for a little extra shine.

      Very cool axe dude. Absolutely killer with black binding around the natural mahogony.

        That is one awesome Kelly! That black on the natural mahogany looks great. It reminds me of a more aggressive looking Ken Lawrence explorer. Was that the look you were going for?

          That is one sweet-ass Kelly.

                      I have been a member since the "Old Board" and I have never done the "Nice Axe" post until now. Your guitar is what the custom shop is all about; something that's really unique and your creation - It's amazing and IMO the 2nd nicest Jackson I have every seen. The first being Pat's Dragon V but this one is a real close second - congratulations, I bet is sounds amazing.

                            I'm bumping this back up because I don't want to lose it in the list.

                            Damn, That is awesome. I've already saved the pics on my PC but can't get my eyes off it.

                            Awesome job Jackson.

                              The headstock absolutly makes the guitar. Did you come up with the reverse harpoon? I now have to have a guitar with this headstock.
