Hi ,I am new to the forum.Have liked Jackson's for 25 years,but am really starting to love them again.I am mainly a blues player,but the shredder has been coming back out .I currently have a Snakeskin SLS and an American flag DK1.Love them both.I've been lurking for awhile and seems like a great forum.

Nice DK1!

Welcome to the forum. Beautiful guitars. I especially like the flag Dinky.

Take some time to get to know the regular cast of characters around here. They are a great bunch and very knowledgeable in all things Jackson/Charvel as well as many other aspects of the hobby.

That snakeskin... I... I think I've just cum

[Boomdoggy]

Thanks guys.In about the mid-90's I said no more Floyds,no more shredders,no trems at all.Last year I was on evilbay late at night.The SLS was just listed that night.I love 24 3/4 scaled guitars.I used to dream of having a Snakeskin guitar when I was young.Then I noticed no Floyd.Bingo!!!!!

Just recently my friend and I started recording a bunch of music.After a ton of blues songs I said we should do some heavy stuff.After a couple of songs,I really wanted to add some trem stuff.I probably have not played with a trem for around a decade.I grabbed one of my Strats and put the bar in.After a couple of big bombs it was out of whack.I told my buddy I need a Floyd.He laughed"Get the FU$& out of here,you getting a Floyd."I found the flag.It had a great setup,no warble,no headaches.I can't remember why I hated them so bad.Certainly not a blues guitar ,but for metal,what a dream.

Sorry for rambling.

Great story and welcome Nice DK1 too. Keep rambling. We like that here. Yeah, it's funny how "stuff" happens. I had been playing for 39 years before I decided to grab a Jackson. They are my favorites now!

Thanks again.
Bengal,it is funny how things change.Guitars and music that I thought were dated 5 years ago,seem really refreshing and almost new again.I loved Jacksons and other metal guitars through the 80's and early 90's.I went in totally different directions over the last decade.I fell into the trap that real blues players had to play certain ways(slow down,turn down the gain,that isn't a real blues guitar).I guess getting older made me understand that I can play blues any way that I want to.I can still love heavy music and be a huge blues fan.The DK1 has been like a time machine for me.It makes me feel like I did 20 years ago.I am glad that things all come back around.Guitars this great should be loved today like they were before.
