What do you guys think of the Tribal Flames look ??

[Learn Guitars]

Oh and by the way, The tribals are yellow. What you are seeing is an optical illusion.

The news from the 'genius' decision making minds at the CS just gets better and better doesn't it?

Mike, I'm sorry to hear that. I thought your paint jobs were a breath of fresh air for Jackson.

I like the look of your custom guitars, btw. Especially with the six in line headstock.

Man, this really sucks big time. I am sorry to hear that Mike. I think this is a HUGE mistake on their part. They are going to lose ALOT of business. Your artwork is second to none and it gave J/C a fantstic new look that was a huge step above the rest. This REALLY sucks. I say we all email J/C and tell them what a huge mistake they are making !!!!!

Same thing they did back in the late 80s early 90s - they had one guy paint a few of those Color Dragons, give up the rights to it, then get an in-house guy to copy it.

I've had both an original and a "in-house" Color Dragon Dinky, and the original had better colors and more detail.
The "copy" wasn't as vibrant, and it really showed when they were side by side.

Yep, +1

Sorry to hear about the situation Mike. Your designs are unique and really put a spin on the old guitar shapes.

I really like the tribal design on the soloist shape. Wish I had the money to spend on a CS guitar.

[VitaminG]

wow, that really sucks, Mike. Like others have said, I thought your graphics have really added some zest to the line. Not to take anything away from Dan's graphics - I thought it was really cool that you could get a CS Jackson with Lawrence OR Learn graphics now.

fwiw, that stringthru Soloist is the SHIT! Awesome work.

I like the flames, but not the green tribal markings. Green and flame don't mix for me.
