Jackson CS Firebird mockup, order yay or nay?

[AK47]

I still am thinking about specs and if I go with 22 frets it will be 24.75 scale. Also if I go with trapezoid inlays there will be no inlay on fret #1.

May go with sharkies or blocks.

I was told to submit and spec a order for a Jackson Firebird because they are probably going to do it.

Here it it:



Yay or Nay on the mock up?

ok.
I think keep blocks on the firebird

[Super_shredder]

i like it but it needs gold hardware and pups

Looks bad ass dude, but it might look better with string through.

[ulijdavid]

Inlays should be "Sharkies" (reverse or flip-flop) otherwise the trapezoids are too Gibson. Maybe reverse headstock too. You're going custom might as well make it worth your money. Should be awesome - hope they will build it.

[sully]

not bad. not a trans black fan myself, but it looks good mocked up.

[Brian]

Looks good.

I'd personally go with sharkfins.

[neilli]

I like it. I'd go for sharkies, and would probably change the control / switch layout, but the overall vibe is very cool.

That looks good the only thing i'd change is the bridge. I would rather have string through if not a floyd.

Even though mine is a mutt, I got lucky because I think it is the best looking combo I could think of. Except for it being bolt-on.

Jackson is doing Firebirds again?

Jackson is doing Firebirds again?

We had a thread about that a few weeks ago. Apparently FMIC is letting the CS take FB orders. THIS IS A BIG **I THINK**. I don't remember perfectly, but I think we were talkingaobut Explorers and round v's, but alas, it escapes me...

Jackson is doing Firebirds again?

Its a unofficial yes.

The thing that worried me is in the statement it said "Jackson's inspired by Firebird body"

I was told to submit a spec sheet. I am on the fence because Jackson is kind of vague on what they mean.

I wanted mine be see thru black version of this... minus LSRs and archtop plus a few other changes but basic idea.

AK,

Dude, that is badass. I just think that the hardware should be something other then black to offset the color of the neck and body.
