...ah, and quite subtle is that the bevels are satin whereas the rest of the body is gloss.

Recently I just bought this Archtop from member Vince here. It's a beauty and is very articulate. By far the best sounding guitar in my collection for clean tones. Birds Eye maple neck with what I believe he told me was an EVH Charvel profile. So it's alittle beefier.
It was so pristine when it arrived It kind of scares me to play it. heh

That is a nice guitar i love the colour, neck and pickup config. hope to have a CS similar to it one day differances i would make reverse sharkies, more of a dinky styled body with a extended cut away, probably go a black headstock also. ahh the dreams

That's nice! When is it scheduled to arrive?

[ToneZone]

I haven't received a date. Matt just said that it would be too long.
I can't wait to try it out.

Wow, I'm 14 and have no clue about CS orders, I've been looking on Jackson Website lately.... anyway how do you understand this stuff?

I know what I like. I have been playing alot of diffrent guitarsfor a few years now and I've been interested in how they work, what they are made of and so forth.
You got to know what you like and put it together in that one, fab guitar. Or several.

I'm going to get another CS when I can afford one. I'm gonna save up money and buy a real CS.

I'm thinking:

-Archtop Soloist alder body
-Reverse pointy headstock
-Quilt maple top
-Wilkinson trem with piezo
-Sperzel tuners with pearl tuning pegs
-Custom inlays
-Trans green colour and gold parts
-Ebony fretboard
-Two angry humbuckers (Thinking X2N in the bridge and the neckpickup on the petrucci guitar. Anyone who knows what it is?)
-Natural binding around the guitar, fretboard and headstock.
-Matching headstock
-Gold parts

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a SLATQH with a reverse headstock and a trem. Which is cool..

It'll be mader. It will have a piezo and I'm thinking 16" radius fretboard, not compound radius.

If you really want to go down the Petrucci route, DiMarzio D-Sonic in the bridge and Air Norton neck.

Graphtech now make a piezo Floyd Rose so you're not confined to Wilkinson.

God i love this thread

[Shibs]

I think that you dealer may have taken his time on that order for you, I have ordered several Jackson and Charvel CS guitars and so far I have never had a guitar show up that late.... maybe a month or two, but not a year late!

I think I'd rather have something else than a Floyd given the fact that I already have two floyd-equipped guitars.

Is it Air Norton that is in the neck? I love that mic. It's so easy to make it scream. When I do slow solos with the JP6 it always gives me that nice gliss on the long notes. Fab! Nothing less.

It goas smoothly as I expected. I got a shock when I contacted Matt where everything was going much faster. I'm never going back.

Awesome instruments, for sure. All stellar.
I'm interested in ordering a Custom Shop Soloist.

How does one go about this?
I'm aware of the form on the site - extensive.

Am I supposed ot take this to a local retailer?
TBQH, I'd rather order online or out of state - our Sales Tax is quite high ~9%, which would add several hundreds of dollars to the purchase price. Are there shops that deal with non-locals?

Any advice appreciated...thanks.
