Got my custom V!

[servantdave]

Hello all!

David here, I post at the Megadeth forums and browse here from time to time. Thought you fellow Jackson lovers might like to see. (I'm also digging the pics of that custom orange burst string through V that was posted...)


Thanks to Chris Cannella over at Jackson lml lml.

Swamp Ash body, Quarter Maple neck...

[Jayster]

very nice

WOW!!! One of best most beautiful custopshop guitars I've ever seen on this forum!!

Do you have a picture of the headstock from the side?

[shreddermon]

Very cool! Very unique! Congrats.

I was just about to ask if they did a swamp ash top over the body, to cover the maple NT, but that last pic answers my question.

[Ben...]

That is so incredibly cool. I've never seen a Jackson like that.

Oh, and welcome!

[GuerillaPete]

I gotta say that is a sweet and unique KV.
All killer. No filler.

[toejam]

Welcome to the forum. Nice ash you got!

[themisfit138]

Sounds like you have a nice guitar. Damn, wish I could see the pics when I'm at work.
I just saw the pics, lovely guitar.

[Mickey_C]

Awesome - I think the headstock looks wicked on that guitar!

[gtrbuyer]

very cool....and different!

[Robert Burns]

Looks like an Alien made it! Very "H.Gieger" looking with that stain!
I love it!!!!!! Headstock is perfect too... so balanced. You sir
might possibly have one of the top 10 KV's EVER MADE!

Very unique indeed! I like it alot!
Enjoy!!

Looks very cool indeed - definitely a unique look, which is great

I'm trying to make sense of the 'sandwich' pic though. There's obviously a top and I assume bottom veneer, but why are there 3 other pieces? I can understand 2 (neck centre, plus 1 to make up to full body thickness), but 3 is confusing me right now....

Left and Right are solid Ash wings. In the center, the middle wood with little grain is the Maple coming through from the neck. On top and bottom of it are pieces of ash cut the same width of the neck which are glued to the maple to continue the ash grain on the face and backside of the guitar. The pieces of ash cut the same width as the neck run all the way from the fretboard to the butt or center of the V.

Thanks to everyones comments! I'm very proud to have this one.

That's beautiful. Congrats.

How did you specify that colour? It looks lighter than the usual trans. black and darker than the light trans. black. However you did it, it came out well.
