Nah I was talking about the feel too. Feel is entirely subjective. To me, smooth = medium/high action. Some people prefer lower action. Either way... it's true some companies do the things that matter better than others i.e bridge setups, fret polishing/dressing (VERY important and too often overlooked).
Never played an RR24 nor RR1 so I can't compare. Specs wise neither are for me and would be pretty uncomfortable unfortunately, as most Jacksons are
Were you ever able to find a RR24 in Holland? I never saw any in any of the Amsterdam shops. Dijkman have loads of Jacksons but overpriced and 10 years old stock they haven't managed to sell yet...

I think that it is entirley subjective. The differences betwee the RR1 and RR24 are material, and neck dimensions.
For me, an rr24 might be a better since I tend to like thinner necks, and more frets (if set up the way that I like).
and RR1, you are paying more for the woods in the neck, the MOP inlays, yada yada.

I get your basic point though - you can sell 100 items for $1000 and make $100,000 or you can sell 1000 of the same item for $500 and make $500,000.
However, Jackson sells to dealers, so the prices are set, and there's really no concern on Jackson's part if the dealers can't move them.
As for those one-hum pickguarded Charvels, do they have a swimming pool route?

I have to add my disappointment at no new imports other than the Demmel. At least this one has 2 pickups, unlike the COW and KB.
But then again, for some people, NAMM is about the glitz and flash of Custom Shop pieces so people can go "oooh" and "wowww" rather than the serious buyers who will see an affordable dream guitar and make plans to buy several of them.
But, given Jackson's reputation, you have to admit if they showed up at NAMM with 2 Customs and 500 imports, they'd quickly be shunned by the majority of the attendees. "What happened to Jackson? They've always had all kinds of flashy Customs, now all they have are those plain-jane ho-hum imports."
They're stuck with that image as far as NAMM is concerned.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Yeah I'm curious about those Charvels with the matching stratheads, they're the highlight of the J/C stuff at NAMM to me.
