Matt's custom Jackson guitar

[D.Ingram]

Don't like that matching headstock myself, but dayum...

 

[evilematt]

its supposed to be silver not white, but i couldnt make it go silver. so eat it.

 

[Pablokers]

Is that tone and volume control on those knobs? or separate volumes for each pickup? and the three way switch is kind of in the way for me but i guess it comes in handy in that position.

 

[Caveman Ninja]

I don't believe in it. It's as real as Chinese Democracy...

...what? Really?!

Oh

I just don't like matching coloured headstocks, the guitar could be pink for all I cared mate

What pickups you getting in this badboy?? Blackouts?

 

[Zehm]

no. because actives suck

 

[evilematt]

yep. because the active blackouts dont suck.

im digging the matching headstock, it stands out better than just the black one, and the controls are 1 volume 1 tone. i prefer the pickup selector to be below the strings because its easier to reach there without the volume knob being in the way, instead of having to reach over the volume knob and miss it completely....

next custom is probably going to be just pickup selector and 1 volume. ive already designed it haha and i dont even have my first one yet.

 

[D.Ingram]

Just wow

Oh

If no one else is going to say it, I will...

I'm not a fan of actives either, they're not natural to me, and I don't want to change batteries to make my damn guitar work...I know that they have a long batter life but I don't want to deal with that.

 

[Zehm]

a friend of mine has actives in his bass and he hasn't had to change the battery for almost 5 years now

 

[D.Ingram]

But hes a bass player. God compensates this by giving him long battery life

Yeah, the tone knob is pretty useless in metal. If you turn it down it just sounds aweful.

 

[Sjusovaren]

Nice!

Now, I just wish the Ibanez LACS was open to the public..... If it was, I'd launch a career as a manwhore, I'd do anything, if I could get my (possibly cumstained) hands on a custom Ibanez.

 

[evilematt]

exactly, ive never touched the tone thing once, its just FULL. metal.

so might as well just leave it off the next one.... bonnnnng.

 

[Styxx]

I actually find myself backing off tone now and then, depending on what I'm playing. Do you actually use the volume knob for anything other than silencing the guitar? You may as well put a killswitch in that you can engage (see what I did there?) when you want to shut up, and be done with knobs altogether. Your guitar will then be female and you'll officially be the straightest guitar player in music, on account of you don't play with knobs.

He might want to chech they're not leaking out and corroding up in there after that long, then his pick-up will be ruined.

 

[EvileOL]

Every i put my guitar on to play i would feel like a god.

thats such a great idea, if not ever so slightly pervtastic.

EVERY I PUT MY GUITAR

 

[evilematt]

shit.

 

[D.Ingram]

How has no one noticed that before?!
