Jackson XStroyer

[vinta9e]

So, Jackson decided they'll make an Ibanez Destroyer knockoff for Mr Collen. Normally I pass on revelations like that but that shape just looks so damn good! Does it top its predecessor? Let's discuss.

Never played the DT555 back in the day. If this plays and sounds anything like the PC1, it should be awesome.

It's backwards, but make it with a single pickup and I'm down.

I like it. Get rid of the middle PU and I would like it better.

Re: Jackson XStroyer

He is starting to look like Halford.I dig the guit. Nicer looking than a Kelly, but it needs a kahler.

Nice take on the Destroyer II. Be real cool in a Flametop with no trem or middle pickup.

Re: Jackson XStroyer

As it's got a Sustainer in the neck I think the middle pickup is a good option.

Re: Jackson XStroyer

I own a Destroyer, and I absolutely love mine.

That being said, I'm a Jackson fan, and if they were actually selling these, you bet your ass I'd snag one. Just as long as the body is mahogany, I'm all good.

I like it, but haven't liked Def Leppard after Hysteria

Re: Jackson XStroyer

Thats absolute badassery! I always loved the destroyers, but didnt care for the plain straight headstock, (guitar so angular with a straight headstock?) so this fixes that for me. Id prefer a 2 pickup config, but his old DT555 (?) had 3 so comes full circle. Id def love to have one!

Many things to love for me. I like the destroyer body shape, I love Hamer standards in solid colors with bound bodys, (wish Gibson made exporers with bound bodies), plus I love Jacksons. (but not the kelly shape as much as explorer and destroyer shape)

As Mutts said, the middle pup isnt a bad idea as it looks like the neck pup is a sustainer. I suspected cuz: Phil uses sustainers, the mini toggles,the neck pup is black, whereas the others are white. Plus, I copied the pick to email to a bud and in the email, the pic shows much bigger and the neck pup def looks like a sustainer as it has rails.

He also has a new "stealth" version of his regular jackson sig model. Flat black finish with an ebony board. Looks a lot like the wolfgang stealth.

Re: Jackson XStroyer

:scratchch I wonder if this could become FMIC's new player in the explorer market.

Flat black finish (...) looks a lot like a rubber toy

There, fixed that for ya.

Love that thing! man what an awesome job Jackson!

Re: Jackson XStroyer

That is a kick ass looking guitar. One of my buddies has a PC1 sig and he let me play it a few times. An absolutely steller instrument. I bet this new one is right up there with it.

I like both guitars, just as they're!
