Almost as hilarious as the list on a plain black RR1. $2799:ROTF:

[Mr Metal]

DK2M for $900, RX10D for $720, and SL3 for $1680??????

These are retail prices, not MAPs (Minimum Advertised Price), correct? (one of our Jackson Dealer JCF'ers please confirm!) How many percent below Retail is the MAP?

Why do they always get the specs wrong on these things? It's not like we wouldn't proof read it for free.

E.g. RR24 has a "bolt-on maple neck".

Yes I saw that and was frustrated I could not also see pictures of all the new finishes listed in the catalogue. I didn't major in marketing but it just seems like the logical thing to do especially when you didn't introduce a whole lot of new stuff this year. I would put a link right on Jacksonguitars.com - "look at the new finishes for 2008" that takes you to pictures of guitars built in the new finishes. It's not like Jackson dealers stock enough USA select models that you would have a good chance of ever seeing all of these finishes in person in the near future which would make it even more important to get some pictures on your website.

Take a look at the Ibanez and ESP websites. They have pictures of all of their new models and Jackson can't even put up a few pics of guitars in the new colours. Jackson builds nice guitars but their marketing and customer service are just so remarkably bad. I know, I've been able to see most of them through the NAMM pics and some dealer sites, but don't you think the manufacturer should have these pics on their website?

Schecter still hasn't put up their 2008 line.

Judging by that we in Europe are f'd bigtime as the retail prices here are around US list price plus additional percentage (which resulst in exchanging the $ sign in a euro sign)

I smell lost sales.

I like how they say the Mark Morton model is a string-thru body. They apparently don't know what a stop tailpiece is.
Though, the specs on the website still say it's got a Schaller 456 adjustable fine-tuning bridge. :ROTF:

I noticed that too
