Custom Jackson Death Angel question

[jtr]

Hell in 85 when I order my Soloist the list with EMG's And a Floyd was $2400 and they were all Custom Shop hand made. If you think about it a Les paul Custom back than was still well under a $1000.

The biggest price change will be whether you choose bolt on or neckthrough.

I can understand wanting a fairly rare body style like the Death Angel, which to me makes more sense than just wanting a single-hum Soloist or other "minor" change to a regular production model.

And in case you were wondering how it would look without the controls:

You don't have controls on the guitar? Wow, looks cool, but, that means tons of noise and feedback as soon as you plug the cable in it right ? How do you manage it ?

ive always loved white with gold hardware....not to mention that is an awesome looking guitar

If you do consider Ran the waiting times are now a year allthough thats an accurate estimate and your guitar wont sit finished in the factory till someone is ready to send it to the dealer...

So you will get the guitar approximately one year after you order it....

I know there were more than a few jcfers waiting a very long time for customs some of which werent complicated designs...

But yeah the jackson custom shop prices have skyrocketed...

And this could come under the master built category so that would mean it'd cost a lot of $$$$$

let us know what you decide i'm sure the guitar would turn out great...

Does it have a kill switch?

[MacBeth]

That one is really great. Down to the minimum of options, but a lot of details on the body. Cool, even though the shape is not really mine

volume pedal.......... i think he photoshop'd it anyways.

[Newc]

Since I don't play live, I don't have to worry about feedback

And I use a volume pedal - Ernie Ball High Gain model at the front of the chain. Works just like a knob - I back it down to get cleans, crank it to get beefy, and all points in between.

And no, that's not photoshopped - I ordered it with no controls. It's either on (plugged in) or off (unplugged).

I'm still working on having it modded though. It's a nice concept but not very practical for me. I'm a neck pickup kinda guy, so as soon as I get some bills paid down I'll send it off to be routed for a slanted neck pickup (JBJr or something) and have a knob put in - probably a push/pull to select pickups. I wish someone made a concentric push/pull so I could get volume and tone AND switching.

Damn! That's pretty cool. I think it's the first electric I've seen with no volume knob, interesting choice!

I think I've given up the dream of having a Jackson custom. Just don't have patience. It took almost a year to get my last WR1, ordered to my specs. (color and neck finish)
