Convince me (Jackson thread)

Looking at my bumpersticker posted on my cubicle. It says, "Jackson, you won't go blind playing with this!" And it has a Jackson RR.

I was about to put it on my car, but one of our clients runs a school for the blind, and I figured it might be in poor taste to pull into the parking lot for a meeting... so it's on my cube wall.

I don't own an RR, but I've been thinking about it... like I really need another guitar to collect dust. But, then again it's so damn lethal looking. Yeah yeah, I now, you buy a guitar for how it sounds, not how it looks. You all know that's BS, too.

Convince me to go get one of these very lethal pointy-ended guitars. BTW, I already own two Jacksons.
 
Re: Convince me (Jackson thread)

Play one. I won´t have to do anything else after that. ;)

And we all know Randy was God, so you almost HAVE to either fork up 5k for a LTD Shortwing or at least get a cool RR-1 in either black or white with Gold pinstripes and some sharkies. Just for the "Tribute Factor" :laugh2:

You KNOOOW You need it, Matt. Don´t try to deny it :headbang:

Zerb,

I know you're probably right. This is just something that won't rest. Whenever I have a guitar playing dream (I know you all have these, too-where you can play absolutely anything), I'm always playing an RR - and it's black. So there you go. I don't think I'll ever justify another top-end Jackson, so perhaps one of the mid-priced lines in in order.

What models should I absolutely avoid?

I think Zerb meant to highlight the axes, not the porn tapes in the background. :laugh2: :laugh2:

The one RR on the right is precariously close to it's doom from falling off the couch.

When I can't hold back any longer, Zerb, I'll let you know... I'm sure you have some great resources for Jacksons.
 
Re: Convince me (Jackson thread)

I had a RR Jackson V once - special ordered it with the lightning sky. Ended up selling it. My fingers kept knocking the high E off the fretboard; the neck was too narrow from the low E to the high E. The JB (or trembucker?) in the bridge sounded better clean that distorted to me - not a good trait for a heavy metal guitar. Couldn't sit down and play it either, had to stand up (screw that, I hate standing up and playing at home). I was scared to scratch it too. The tips of the V will eventually hit everything in their path and chip. For such a beautiful axe, it wasn't for me, but I always thought it would be...oh well. I have a buddy that loves his. Guess that's how it goes. Give me a strat shape any day. Hail to Rhoads though; gotta respect him.
 
Re: Convince me (Jackson thread)

i love randy's playing, but his tone was crap. the mids were always to high for my taste. those mids came from the v. i've got an ibanez v with one leg shorter than the other, it has those mids that i hate. i bought it cause it looked cool, it sounds like crap. there's also a balance issue. that thing is waaay neck heavy. even with a leather strap, the headstock dives toward the floor. it's hard enough to play a guitar that stays where you put it, but supporting the weight of the neck makes mine nearly unplayable. if you GOTTA have a jackson, get a dinky.

I still haven't played a MIA Jackson, and now I'm scared to! :laugh2:

Kelly's and RR are among the few "shape" guitars that I think look cool... :burnout:
