any news for 2017 ?????

Gee, will they actually make Firebirds or X-Stroyers for customers' orders now? We got these same kind of teases the last couple of years, only to be denied.

I'd expect requests for anything outside of their main offerings to be denied. They just like to tease us with these at NAMM so the deny request all year long.

I was so happy when I saw the KEXT until I read that the non-floyd version was having chrome hardware... .

Chrome could be a printing error based on the number of errors printed in the past. I guess time will tell.

Note the KEXT is pictured with a tremolo as well. Oh, Jackson...
...make that Fender

[Number Of The Priest]

Have we seen chrome hardware on imports lately? A quick skim of the Jackson website indicates no.

Dammit, I curated that huge list yesterday, and today I noticed there was this link on the front page that conveniently lists all the new models:

Oh well.

When did they bring back the Jackson logo'ed Floyd Bridges?

Ebony is becoming more and more rare. Remember Gibson being investigated for illegal ebony, here's why. Bob Taylor is doing a lot to save it.

Which guitar are you referring to? The Jackson bridges never left some models.

The JS Series

[Mudlark]

The JS has had the Jackson trems all along, though the old chrome JT580LP model has been replaced in black with a tremolo of which I'm not certain the model name. Kinda' looks like a Special to me, but I'm probably wrong.

The change occurred when Indian production moved to China and Indonesia in 2012.

I hoped so, but this photo I found make it seem legit. Oh well, almost to good to be true

I read those are still for Europe only.

It's weird for me to say this, but I think the new import models are more interesting than the CS stuff I've seen.

The JS series seems to be a gigantic part of the line now.

But they have lottery cards on them from US dealers looking to purchase?

And there certainly seems to be much more emphasis on new import product this year.

With white sharkies, it would have a very Dan Spitz vibe to it....
