Did anyone else notice....

...that the Gibson-inspired surfcaster Jackson has a reverse strathead?

I didn't even notice the guitar originally as I thought it was one of the Mark Morton guitars so I ignored it (sorry, but they're grim looking guitars!), but a strathead on a CS Jackson could be promising......

Interesting... A strathead with a Jackson logo that is not on a PC1.
There may be some hope after all.

If you have deep enough pockets, obviously

neilli, the guitar you are describing is not in that photo you linked....
wrong photo?

[neilli]

Yeah it is - at the bottom right. You might have to expand the pop-up window....

Unless otherwise denied, I would take that to mean that stratheads are now allowed on custom Jackson orders, too.

It's on the current price sheet. The option is easy to miss because of the odd phrasing: "bend over and grab your ankles".

gotcha, sorry, thanks

I like that guitar

and

I laugh at the price :ROTF:

As much as I like stratheads, IMHO the angled Surfcaster headstock matches the offset body style bettter.

Has been done before!

PS: My first attempt to post a pic so this will probably mess up.

Kevin Bond came up with that guitar at the Custom Shop Clinic last June. It's a nice guitar.

This guitar has a list price of $11K. It is available for sale, I've been trying all day to find out if the strat headstock is now available with a Jackson logo on it. It certainly appears this is the case. Also the blue one with the simulated carbon fiber strip down the middle (Ian... I got your message on this) is also available and has a list of $8K.
