My customshop Warrior orders are going in!!!

[Scholomance]

Well, my mind is made up and I am officially stepping in the ring with a vengeance. My first full custom shop orders are going in for 2 Warriors. #1 is going to be red/blue pearl, chrome hardware, Kahler Pro, slant fretboard, EMG hum & single, reverse color matched headstock, neck & hs binding, reverse abalone sharkfins & abalone logo. I wanted to stay along the lines of some of the original Warriors with this one, but with a few newer touches - sort of classic, streamlined, pure metal.
#2 is going to be a gorgeous custom transparent color that hasn't been done since the 80's (sorry, gotta keep some things a secret til its done!), chrome hardware, Kahler Pro, straight normal fretboard, 3/4" quilt top, Duncan Invader & Duncan Jazz, 3x3 color matched headstock, neck & hs binding, regular mop sharkfins & mop logo, and an extra very unique to Jackson build option (another secret)! This one is going to be very memorable if it turns out all correct.
I am beyond stoked to be getting these monsters started. Hopefully many more will follow. I am so far VERY pleased with how I've been treated by Jackson and did not ever imagine going the full custom route would be so easy. I still want to pick up a new WR1 to tide me over til the customs come. Woohoo!!!!!!

Hi Scott;

Congrats on taking the plunge! Have you actually placed the orders yet? Just curious which dealer you are going through if so.

My deposits are mailing tomorrow. The only thing really left is to talk over the color on #2 with Dan Lawrence. I decided on Guitar Asylum for the orders. I dealt with Rob before and he was great, and he was actually even better this time. It all came together very quickly and easily. Honestly though, all the dealers that did respond to my initial inquiries were very cool so I will probably do some business with some of the other guys too when I'm able.

It's gonna be the pointed 3 on a side headstock like the KV2T's.
Mike - I was told a 6-12 month wait time on the orders. I know it can sometimes take more. I've gone through the BC Rich custom shop before - I know what its like to wait, and wait, and wait, grow old, and die. I don't know if the custom color will make it a bit longer. I have a lot of high res photos of guitars I already own as color samples to send.
