Demon

[HANGAR18]

is the only way i can get a demon via the custom shop?

[Dred]

Or buy used.

You can also extort someone into handing you over theirs, but we'll get into that later.

[HANGAR18]

LOL, cant see why they dont make it standard production

[Hellbat]

I hear Ed Roman makes them...

[GuerillaPete]

Make your own w/ help from Mojo Bodies. I think he's still around.

[HANGAR18]

went to the website, looks like its just a site, theres nothing in the store and his ebay shop is gone:/

[pebber]

Or buy used.

well, you have to be patient.. I know

[Mikernaut2]

Heh it would probably be quicker to get one built then to wait for a used one to pop up .

[HANGAR18]

does the mojo bodies guy deliver to the uk?
anyone?:think:

That's one of the problems I have with jackson. They say that they're all about innovation, but when I think innovation, I think new models and lots of different options. Look at ESP. They have a ton of models, both ESP, LTD, Edwards and Grassroots. I liken ESP today, as to what Jackson was 20 years ago. Why doesn't jackson make some of their custom shop models both production models- USA built and imports. They have a ton of cool models, why not make some money off them?

but there has to be a market for the model first. You could make a production model out of every Custom Shop guitar ever made, but then, where's the incentive to buy a Custom Shop guitar?

And what happens when they create a product line out of some of these guitars? You either risk everything by making a shitload of a model and distributing it far and wide to ensure it gets into the hands of as many consumers as possible, and take a chance that the public isn't going to respond & you're left with a huge stock of guitars that you can't sell and that dealers are going to resent being lumbered with. The dealers won't want to carry a line that looks good but doesn't sell units.

Or you dip your toes in the waters and advertise your new product line without putting a lot of them in the stores - result: the crowd decides they really want one but can't get their hands on one to try it, or has to wait 6 months for the Japanese production run before they can buy one, and that other brand is sitting right there on the shelf to be taken home now...

And then where do you position the new models? Do you canvas the market with variations at every price point or sell different models to a niche, only to find out that your new US model is just what the kids with $500 want to buy but can't afford, but grownups with thousands to spend don't like? Or that the big spenders don't want because that new model is only made in Korea? What do you do with all the left over stock that just didn't sell because you wanted to make all models available to everyone, whether there was a market there for it or not?

Jackson still is innovation. Come up with your outlandish idea and, assuming it's physically possible, the Custom Shop will build it.

Of course, folks will whinge that the Custom Shop won't build just anything you can imagine, but then, imagining yourself owning a Heineken Strat or a Jake replica is hardly being innovative

but then, imagining yourself owning a Heineken Strat or a Jake replica is hardly being innovative

Or Firebird or roundhorn V or.....


Well said, Gary


If they're not getting enough Custom Shop orders to warrant the move to USA Select model, then they won't get enough buyers to sustain a USA Select model.

Look at the Star - it's been around since Women And Children First, yet it still has not sold well enough to become a production model.
