Winter NAMM 2016

$5000 for a US Jackson????

EDIT: Canadian dollar, that is.

Yep... as of Friday... 1$us = 1.4530$canadian. Do the math, it's crazy! Cost of new gear on our side of the border is going up.

Even the used market, some dealers are using this as a lever to ask for more.

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 see that his PRS SE model is discontinued. It was a good guitar, granted, but it was basically just a 245 SE with custom inlays and adjustable stoptail. He has been favoring the Jacksons lately, maybe it's true that he's returning to the fold. I'd love to see something at NAMM.

I like both of the guitars personally but I wouldn't pay for the name. The natural binding on the Broderick is awesome as is the headstock. The Misha is pretty cool looking too. I think both of those are more targeted for the seven string crowd though and they just offer six strings because it is simple to do so.

A friend of mine left yesterday to attend the NAMM show... I'd better message him to remind him to get some pics of the Jackson/Charvel gear.

As well they should, since they get tired of hearing "but I can get a new one for a few dollars more"

Thanks yet again, Rudy!

I like the monarhk. Kinda wish it had other color options with the hollow fins

[Johnnyryche]

Thanks, Rudy! Looking forward to seeing your pics, as always.

Just checked in at the hotel at NAMM. I forgot John Romanowski's contact info at home, damn it! If anyone can put me in touch with him, or John if you see this please let me know so I can contact him before tomorrow evening's usual dealer only thing.
