I'll check in maybe once a week or two, I try to avoid the facebook Jackson/Charvel groups like the plague though. The JCF one and USA owners are aight, but the rest seem to be just cancerous.
I'd like to mention that Jackson guitars in this day are the equivalent of 2008 B.C. Rich, change my mind. Also, the fact that facebook and other social media has literally opened the floodgates to the masses of dunces who can't be bothered to do their own research (as mentioned much nicer before) really shot the Jackson Community in both knees. Albeit, things were easier when we still had Japanese imports, but now everyone and their brother fucking cousin has a Jackson. If they bought it used there's a really good chance that they think its something of value and not Indonesian firewood with paperweight hardware. Fucking Fender, right? There are so many uninformed Jackson/Charvel "enthusiasts" and "experts" out there it's almost sickening. I've been booted from a group because I had to correct the admin on the value of a custom Jackson because he wanted to push a ridiculously low price to someone who hadn't a clue as to what they had and then called him out on his bullshit. I was then booted from his other J/C/guitar related groups LOL. facebook is the devil, mmmkay? Fucking ego boosting platform. Honestly, I'd rather come here to a dead forum, pay for the platinum membership I'll never use, and look at old forum posts that I remember looking at when I was still a kid instead of looking at the same "how much is my guitar worth" post, or seeing Jerry play a shitty rendition of Breaking the Law on his KVX10 for the unteenth time this year.
As a child I watched this ship come in and out of port, and I joined the crew when I mustered the courage. I'll stay with the sinking ship.

Jeez 24 feels old already. I completely agree, its nothing but a podium for every village idiot to get their 15 minutes of cock swinging time. Thing about that is, I can recognize some of the OG JCFers, and I can pretty confidently say that there's rarely any dick swinging from them. It's an absolute treat when I get to sift through the bullshit and see something worth while.
