  • When did the Warrior change?

    I have a 1991 Warrior, I also have a 2006 CS Warrior. I have seen many new ones as well and what I have noticed is the upper and lower tips are cut at a different angle. The old ones are much sharper. They look better too. Anyone see this? Why did they change it? The body was perfect to begin with.

    The 1990 Warrior was a flop in terms of sales, but they had so many Custom Shop orders for them afterwards, they decided to bring it back as the WR-1. I imagine the design was changed slightly by R&D to speed up machine-based production.

      So I guess that means the original Warrior was discontinued in '91 ? Anyone know what year the first WR1's were made ?

        97 or 98 I think.

        The original was stopped in 91, maybe 92.

          It'd be cool if we could work up a production history of the different models. Dunno where to start on that, though .....

            The WR1 and WRXT came in 2001.

              Damn, Jackson needs to re-issue the 1st year ones. Slant fretboard, active electronics etc. About the best neck I ever felt is on my original.

                That matches up with my list. The oldest 'new' Warrior I've found is dated mid '01. Its snakeskin graphic with painted neck.
