  • Jackson Custom pics from NAMM 08

    Well, I haven't seen these on the Jackson MySpace page yet, so here they are.

    Apparently these were shown at the Thursday night pre-party, which I missed out on, and Mike Kotzen took them back to his hotel room since they didn't have cases for them. He asked if I wanted to see them, and we went to his room and he let me take pics of them.

    He asked me to email them to Chris so he could update the site (which I did), but since they're not up yet.....


    Single hum Soloist with Iron Cross inlays




    The head and bridge of a Custom Shop Digital Camo with Kahler



    Apparently this one was a custom order that they had to rebuild for some reason. Mike didn't say.


    Snowblind Soloist - I think he said this was the proto, or that this is how they were originally going to look. I can't recall exactly.





    What I referred to as "SpiderMan"



    The pic looks overly dark, but that's very close to how dark the graphic is.


    Check those inlays




    The graphic on this one is textured.





    Nothing to say except "WOW!"



    Check the details



    Note the metalflake in the blue base.


    And the back



    And the neck



    Note the tool holder has been installed, which doesn't happen on NAMM displays. Apparently someone at the shop had claimed it as theirs and was just getting it ready to go home

            Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing those Matt! That digicamo is cool, but why the Kahler nut and naff logo? And I thought 'one off' logos were a no-go now....
            Popular is not the same as good
            Rare is not the same as valuable
            Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

              Dunno why the Kahler nut or the logo. Maybe those were the problem?

              He did ask my opinion on the Kahler nut vs Floyd nut, and I suggested Floyd nut because even the best non-slip nuts will present a problem after a while.

                  I guess I should have patented or trademarked the spider web inlays 3 years ago. Oh well!!!

                    Nice, but what are they hauling them around with if they don't have cases for them?

                          Each one had a sticker on the back that corresponded to the box it came in (stickers removed for photo).

                            Great inlays on that Spidey, though I don't care much for the graphic

                              That one was mine and those two reasons right there are why they are rebuiding it. It should be ready this week. I was upset when I saw the logo and Kahler nut.
