    Re: Custom Shop DEMON Arrives !!!!! (PICS)

    I got this from Guitarxpress by the way. I got my PC1 from him and it was set up extremely well - strings were too low for me to dig in for vibrato so I had to raise them. I adjusted the truss rod after about a year or so on it. But nothing extreme.

    I am not making a big deal out of it. I set it all up myself and did not contact the dealer or Jackson. But would you not be a little pissed off? It's a plain pain in the ass to have to do this stuff and I should not have had to.

    I agree - usually you tweak a guitar to your own liking - TWEAK being the word here. What I got was rediculous. I mean come on a quarter turn of the truss rod? Full turns on the Floyd???

    Since we have an "Ask Jackson" on this forum I simply asked what the deal was. It is simply not good business on their part as a company to have this happen.

    I would not have brought this up again but I was responding to Xenophobe. So I suppose when we get shitty customer service we should just shut our big mouth and be greatful after dishing out our hard earned cash huh?

    I fully expected to have to TWEAK the set up when I got it. And I prefer to do that myself. Hell I don't want to let any repair guy near this paint job! But lets be honest here - this was extreme and I am calling it like it is.

    Enough said. I really did not want to be dragging this on but just responding here.
    PLAY TILL U DIE !!!

          Nice comment there pal. You spend this kind of money and then have to do an entire set up yourself.

          Well, first the guitar travelled from Jackson to Matt and then to you, severe temperature and humidity changes may play a role, and once you get a guitar you should let it sit for at least several days and acclamate to your surroundings before you provide a setup.

          Yes, I have to fully set up just about every guitar I've ever bought, new or used. Whining like a little baby cause the setup wasn't to your satisfaction is about as punk ass as you've always been. Perhaps the guitar WAS set up proplery and some UPS driver stood on it for half the day before it was delivered...

          First you say how SPECTACULAR the neck is, then whine and bitch like a sore loser that the setup was a disgrace... So if the setup was such a disgrace, how could you even tell if the neck was so amazing? [img]/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

                    Hey xeno - Welcome Back! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] It's been a long time since you've flipped your lid.

                    Personally, I think the owner has every right to bitch about the playability of a custom ordered, brand new guitar. He paid his money, he waited his time and then he gets the thing and it's not even playable - [img]/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img] He's not talking about a poor setup or a setup dissimilar to what he prefers, he's saying it can't be played...and I would be a little pissed as well.

                    I highly doubt that Jackson is the culprit here but what alternative does he have if wants his concerns addressed? Trying to get Lloyd involved is most likely futile and more of a pain in the ass than just correcting the problem on his own and asking some questions here.

                            Apparently he needed to adjust the truss (neck too flat) and the bridge height by one full turn. That's not not much of an adjustment, and he did say it was the nicest neck he'd ever played yet it was unplayable? Disgusted with Jackson?

                            OMG I bought a new car, it was great, but it was undrivable... so I had to adjust the seats, the mirrors, and had to put air in the tires because they were filled to factory minimum specs and it felt too bouncy... I'm so disgusted I'm going to stomp my feet... [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

                            A new guitar travels 4000+ miles, gets thrown around, stomped, stepped on, dropped and subjected to massive humidity changes...

                            A new guitar will always require additional setup for a seasoned player.
