One year ago today...[pic heavy]

[danastas]

the best guitar I've ever played arrived at my door. In the last year, I've had Anderson Drop Tops, Les Paul Customs, GMP Roxies, a Grosh, Fender Reissues, a couple others, dropped at my doorstep, and none of them hold a candle to this baby. [yeah, I know it's missing a string in the pic, as it arrived]

The specs:

Koa-Maple 9 pc neck
Braz board
Koa bod
Spruce top
bonenut, sperzels, wraparound bridge
Duncan Custom 5

Here she is, proving that when the Jackson CS wants to, it can make a guitar that can compete with the best of them:









Here are pics of its making at the custom shop

I believe that is the best work that Pablo ever did. He should pursue those designs instead of the wacko one's he made for NAMM last summer. Awesome guitar! I was looking at that one too

I loved that guitar. In fact I messed with it at NAMM. I think the Spruce top did it for me. Well balanced guitar with a great body of sound.

I love the thick body on that, it must feel solid as hell.

Anyway, that sure is an interesting bridge, never seen one of those before, what kind is it?

The shot of the back is jaw dropping.
Soooo very nice.

I don't particularly care for the color, though I don't mind it either, but wow.... love the woods and configuration. Good job!

[Nazgul]

[Sergio]

Not too keen on the color either, other than that it gorgeous. Nice score.

[shreddermon]

I love that one. Very unique and cool. A keeper for sure.

[Mikernaut2]

That is beautiful, congrats on such a fine axe. It must have monster tone with the thick archtop body.

[mantis]

Jackson should make this guitar all the time. I want one like that

[VEGETATHEPUPPET]
