You know I want a pink guitar. That Jackson is just beautiful. And I just happen to wear sleevless shirts to all of our shows... Hmmm... I'm gonna have to pass for now, but that is some seriously awesome stuff.
Rock On :headbang:
I just looked at a neon green import Kramer earlier today. It was used and a little worn, but it was only $200. Not nearly as good a guitar, but for looks, it's almost equal.
Those give off a special variety of coolness only known as-
"'TUDE".
"'tude" supposedly died in the early nineties, but if you look hard enough you might catch a glimpse of it every now and again. As for the two items you got there, they give off enough a fusion of "badditude" and "radditude" to be called
I swear to god - I had one of these guitars in the mid-80's as a backup guitar - we were doing dates w/ Foghat, The Outlaws, and, if you can believe it, Stanley Clarke, and one night I needed my Charvel / Jackson for something - probably the bar - and it was really bad, so I threw it across the stage and it broke in half! The crowd loved it though. I was bummed. I actually didn't mean to do that and felt like quite (justifiably so) the idiot.. It was just waay too over the top for me; too-hot pickups, super weird actian, and about a gazillion selector-switch configuratons, which is really cool of you like that sort of thing - I don't. I like to just plug in and go. Mostly because I don't know sh*t about guitars. If I did, I'd do more than just set the action & intonation.
So much for me & Charvel Jacksons! They never seemed like "real' guitars to me, compared to say, a 1970 or 1968 Gibson Flying V, or a '59 Les Paul. THOSE were tonemachines,
