Watch out, it's sharp!
Well, I certainly hope they enjoy their new guitars.
I'm a little sad because Jackson is my fav brand and I don't like ESPs that much... their necks don't suit my hands and IMO they are way overpriced.
Especially the ESP Kh-2, unbelievable.
However, I'm pretty sure that a real ESP custom guitar would kick ass, so I won't lose any sleep over it.
BTW, I'll see their new guitars April 22nd in Hamburg.

Of course it's a shame!
But,
Fender just don't change anything with Jackson and it's products! The only thing what changes is the way of distribution! I talked with a Fender manager and he said that (as Lev said) Fender want to reform the business of Jackson because its so bad, and that takes some time! But when everything is done Fender will push all Jackson products and this is very good for all the Jackson-Lovers, because there will be better service and better prices! It's sad that Alexis guitars were stolen just when Jackson were sold to Fender! Right in this situation of changings intra the Jackson company it was impossible for Jackson to built a new guitar for Alexi within two or three month! It would have been took one year, but that was a too long time for Alexi, so he change to ESP I think! I mean tell me another reason.... Alexi him self said to me that ESP sucks! I don't know much about USA ESP, I just know some Grass roots or LTD's and they are not that good, BUT Japan Jackson guitars are SOOOO bad too, I mean Jackson Japans are one of the badest guitars I've ever played, but USA Jacksons are the best I've ever played!
Btw, I wanna see some pictures of his new guitar. NOW!!!

DAmn yeah, my precious and wondered Jackson RR-1 USA will not be albe for a 1300$ but maybe for 500$ 
This wont change a shit, cuz the good guitar must cost money... We can expect a bit lower prices for usa citizens, but personaly Id dream of a RR-1 for less than 1000$ :Spin:

It's not hard to get a used RR1 for lower that 1000 Euro. Look at the german ebay, sometimes there are some great gits (and the seller ships to europe). Look at this http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2384&item=2519137115&rd=1
I didn't buy it because I plan top order a custom shop (RR with 24 frets of course) and because I have a RR1 yet!
If you have problems with the german language, ask me, I can translate for you!

This is the link wich I use when I look for Jackson products on ebay!

Well, prices for Jacksons in Europe have dropped by 30 % since Fender bought Jackson...
I think that's quite an accomplishment, now I'm really thinking about getting another Jackson.
A King V this time.

never played a jackson, but i own an ibanez and an ESP those guitars are very nice in my opinion, i dont see why anyone would say ESP sucks, i think that Jackson is very similar to ESP and people just say jackson is better because so many people use them

more people use ESP than Jackson.. when it comes to big names atleast. You won't see too many people say "i've picked up a Jackson because this guy uses them".. ESP on the other hand have Hetfield, Hammett, Hannemen, Max Cavalera, George Lynch, and the list goes on. All Jackson really ever had was Randy Rhoads. I guess Alexi could influence some people to buy Jacksons, but not too many. Right now their biggest endorser is Phil Collen, thats not a good thing lol. Remember most of the people buying guitars these days are nu-metal kids... so they'll buy whatever they see on MTV; in other words Ibanez and ESP's. Both are good guitars, its whatever you like, whatever suits you. But its a fact that Jacksons are #1 between them when it comes to quality, especially for the price. I can pay $1200 for a brand new USA soloist here, where as a JEM7VWH goes for $1800, Japan made. ESP's signature guitars are usually around $2000.. so you do the math

I think it's just stupid to play a guitar what someone famous plays.Especially then if you don't like to play it,just gotta have it,because ''He's my idol,and I want that kind of guitar too''.
That sucks.
But then,my cousin picked Jackson RRLL ,because of Alexi Laiho,but he really is playing that thing like a maniac.
Myself,I picked Jackson (Warrior XT) because it felt the best for me.I tried Few Ibanez's and others but they didn't fit for me,so the Jackson was a good decision. (Except I'm starting to hate the sound of these shitty Duncan Designed pickups.....
