Just put in my order for my dream guitar..

[RD]

Had to talk to my rep to make sure it could be done, he went to the custom shop and yes it can. To say i'm stoked is an understatement!!!!

Pablo Santana will be my builder for the body, Shannon for the neck.. both will sign the guitar as well!

Horns up to Cannella and McD!



specs...

USA Jackson Double Rhoads King V with cutouts.

flat top, no bevels

string through body with v plate

3/4" quilted maple top over alder wings with matching headstock

24 fret neckthru with ebony board with binding over the frets... kv2 speedneck with x jumbo frets (sl2h)

Hollow abalone sharkfin inlays

Abalone Jackson logo

ivory body, neck and headstock binding

emg 81/85 with the battery box

recessed strap locks

locking tuners

black hardware

graphtech nut

I wanted something so metal and exotic at the same time that this is what I came up with!


Thanks again to cannella and mcd for making this happen and thanks for the support to everyone at Jackson

RD



if any of you photshop guru's could do a mockup... the specs are above, the custom shop generator doesnt have double rhoads with cutouts and I would love to see this badboy in a pohotoshop pic to save to my desktop!!!

thanks!

Holy shite! Can't wait to see that...!!! Hopefully someone pulls off the PS image.

[Brooke]

Archtop too? Woh that's going to be one of the greatest Jackson ever made.

[Brian]

That is going to be awesome.

[Ben...]

3/4 inch maple top! Holy crap! That will be such an insane guitar when it's done!

[roodyrocker]

When you decide it has to have a Floyd someday, can I have this one as they build your next Floyded version?

[KBRR]

can't wait to see it .. sounds badass!!! we will have to revive this thread when the guitar is done in a couple of years lol

[RobRR]

Sounds badass!! But why binding OVER the frets? Was never a big fan of it.

[neilli]

Very cool specs indeed - should be great

[toejam]

flat top, no bevels

Archtop too?

He said flat top.

[javert]

That's going to be one sweet guitar, RD...

[Bri]

I won't lie, I was really looking forward to living vicariously through you and the CS cut king kelly. I do understand the switch.

That said, if you gotta play v's, those specs should prompt some messy screens and keyboards when you post the pics. Congrats RD.

Ouch...

[Megadeth79]

The Tremonti pictured looks awesome too

I'm going to be putting a plan together soon for my "The Gambler" soloist. (Including figuring out how I'm going to pay for it.

Basically the spec is:

Mahogany body, 4mm Ebony top (like on some Blackmachine guitars). Maple neck (thru) and 24 fret 25.5 scale ebony fretboard. Abalone binding to body, neck and headstock.

Inlays: A, K, Q, J, 10 (Abalone), Spade, Heart, Club, diamond (Abalone edged black resin apart from hearts and diamond which will be red resin), metallic gold Jackson logo.
Actual cards fanned out behind the bridge (Royal flush), glued to the top and covered in very thin clear coat.

Gold hardware.
Gotoh GTC101 bridge. Sperzel tuners, graphite nut.
H - H (b- BKP Nailbomb n- BKP Cold Sweat)
3 way toggle, one knob (vol).
