Jackson Guitars

[Donkey Fly]

I recently bought a Jackson guitar (the DK2M) after i feel in love with last year - literally a couple of weeks after i bought my Ibanez DT-200 Destroyer.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on Jackson guitars.

If you own any post pics up!


Here's mine.

Love them!

Have two japan charvels - Model 6 (basicaly soloist) and Fusion Plus. Good guitars. But I did not like recessed tremolos on modern ones.
Bought Caparison TAT instead which is somewhat like alder Jackson Soloist. But I`m thinking that modern japan jacksons (like DK2) are inferior
to local japan models (Jackson Stars).

Basically it's the best axe I have, no muddiness, tight as hell! I love it anyway I don't play it so much cause it's my main axe for live stuff.
I prefer my schecter Black Jack and LTD MH1000 to play at home

My thoughts on Jacksons are simple: Over the years I have sold all my other electrics. But I have never sold a Jackson!

My family:

JacksonStars siblings! Always a hassle to get ahold of, but worth all of it and more! Hooray for 24fret RRs!

Dude, can i go to your home to play tomorrow afternoon?
Amazing colection!!

Big Jackson fan here. No pics handy, but my number 1 guitar is a USA SL2H in transparent black. I had stainless steel frets added a couple years ago and I've never felt a better guitar.

My KE3

Needs new strings BAD. Also, I think the switch is going bad or something. I'll probably have it wired so that only the bridge pickup is connected. Bridge pup is a Duncan distortion or something, I'm not sure but it sounds great. Has an IBANEZ Edge (pro? lo pro? I'm not sure..) trem.

Do all jacksons have tilted neck angles?

No, only string-thru and non-recessed floyd models.

No, only string-thru and non-recessed floyd models.

I guess it's a custom shop thing.

I saw an interview with Roope from Cob and his custom shop RR's are all tilt-neck.

Not sure if they were recessed though.

They would be Custom. I'm yet to see a standard RR with a tilt-neck (with a R FR anyway)

If guitar has tilt neck then it must have nonrecessed floyd... I suppose.
I love jacksons, but only older ones and for new guitar I will go to Caparison, the only thing that bothers me is neck width -
I prefer Jackson width (1 11/16") to Caparison (1 5/8") if I can afford custom shop Jackson... but here, in Russia, it is madness because of very creedy dealers.
Not all russians pumping oil and gas from the backyard

Custom order and non-recessed AFAIK.

Love Jackson, IMO for the money you cant find a better guitar. I currently own 3, KV2, RR3, and an RR1.

USA JACKSON PORN!

BRUSH YOUR FLOYD!

 

[Jevil]

My good old Jackson, my daily guitar through the last 10 years.
I love them because they are easy to play for precission riffs ala Annihilator. I also have a cheap Ibanez and a new Washburn Les Paul-like but not so comfortable to play as Jackson. My next 50 guitars will be Jackson.

 

[Metaltastic]

Haha, those are awesome pics Jevil!

I've been spoiled by my Jackson/Charvel's from the get-go. Nothing else feels like "home" to me. I've had a few Soloists and a DR but am down to my two faves that I'll never let go of: my 1989 Archtop Soloist and my 1991 550XL. I also have a Jackson strat that is my studio clean machine.

Here's a picture of my SL2H on the left, along with some other junk.
