Greetings fellow Jackson enthusiasts! I'm Chris from VA and have acquired myself quit the collection of Jackson's over the years. Been playing since I was around 8-9 and am now 25 and is hardly any better (if any). My current collection consists of
RR1 - metallic black, EMG 81 & 60, brass block
RR24M - snow white w/ black bevels
RX10D - AMS Polka Dot finish, EMG 81 & 60
RWR - black w/ blue metallic flake, EMG H4
KE3 - Crimson Swirl, SH6 & TB4
JR20 - Black, my first love, being restored, soon to be done as soon as the pickups arrive, just going with a SH2 & TB4
DR7 - Transparent Red, just wanted to try out a 7 string.. not really my type but its different
RR5 - Ivory w/ black strips (just bought tonight, cannot wait!)
I do have two Washburns Dime 333's, a dimebolt and dimeslime. I like taking guitars that have been neglected over the years (not abused) and putting all new pickups, pots, switches, input jack, buffing with a medium/fine cut and polishing the heck out of them. Well in a short sentence, just making them look like new again.
I used to own 2 other Jackson's that I unfortunately sold for other funding reasons. One was a Mint.. SL3 transparent red that was absolutely beautiful, but it was hard for me to get used to the dinky style body since I grew up playing the JR20 (Rhoads). The other was a PS3T (or Y depending on how you call it) that I sold to fund the RR24 (well worth it!!)
And now...time for a
I used to frequently visit the local Guitar Center and just browse around. This one guy came up to me and asked me if I needed any help. To whom I just replied "Nope, just looking at your Jackson's" To which he replied "Man... aren't Jackson's kinda... dead?" I felt like he had slapped me in the face and I wanted to return the favor. I quickly replied by halfway screaming "Hell no!!" (/rant)
Nice forum you have running here guys, i've been stalking for the past couple of days. I hope to share what little bit of knowledge I know and hope to learn a lot!
