Winter NAMM 2016

[gnarzan]

Monarkh looks better with reverse 3+3(4). Headstock is a bit thicker from the extra string so that helps a bit too...

[hopkinsWFG]

Yeah, I hear you brother!


I'm sure that most of the Pro and X series Monarkhs are made in Indonesia, probably the JS are still made in China... I like the Pro Monarkhs, but I'm not too sold on those meh headstocks! I always wanted Les Paul esque Jacksons with the traditional pointy headstock, and a reversed one would've been even a better choice for me at least! Also a Floyd equipped version is badly needed.

getta Heritage if you wanna les paul i hear Heritages 150 pr 157 surpasses the tone of the gibsons !

Who's the dude with the Superstrat with Robin on the headstock? that guitar is fucking sick!

I believe Jeff Watson.

+1000.

I can't understand the reasoning behind this... Do Warriors really sell that bad?

[neilli]

Anyone know what guitars went where? Haven't seen anything yet...

From what I saw on facebook CMC got a few, Musiczoo got a few, and some smaller shops got some too..

[Aso]

The blue/green/purple soloist archtop is going to Capitol Guitars. They got a few others but I don't remember what else.

Is it just me or does the bridge pickup look crooked?

[BenoA]

yes indeed. And the control layout looks like a EBMM JP6... I have one with that green-purple changing paint.

I've heard that before, not to mention Gibsons are over rated and over priced as well even though they look great! However, I'd wait for Jackson to improve on this Monarkh line of theirs and hopefully we'll get one day what we wish for...

I guess they look a bit too wild for most, and not that many famous artists out there play them. Heck, I don't even think KVs or Kellys can come close to the selling units of the RRs!

Hmm, hard to tell, even the guitar that is next to it has that illusion!

[Tetsuo]

Agreed they both look like that. That arch top is sweet though

[Drake S.]

My Son wants the Silver Burst Monarkh

[Newc]

I don't blame him. It does look a bit like an ESPee, though, but hey, it says Jackson on it, so I may as well get one

Are they thick like a Les Paul or thin like the old Charvel Refinement (or a Gibson SG). I'm hoping they're kinda thick.

I'm afraid they're thin or thin/medium. If you watch this video you'll notice they're almost as thick as your average Jackson guitar!

[Newc]

Ah well, was hoping for an even thickness between a Jackson and Gibson, especially with all the contouring and other back carving. Maybe it won't be so bad.

[sytharnia1560]

I think they need a floyd model....it ain't jackson without a floyd

[Erection Jackson]

Nope. I believe it's all but confirmed that he's back with Jackson. He's been playing that LP CS for months now. I've heard his PRS model is excellent.

I saw Marty live a few months ago in Vegas(mind blowing show BTW) and he played PRS and Jackson equally that night. I dont know how he is signed up for each company, just saying thats what I saw...
