Phil Collen @ The Jackson Booth

**Mazz** · 01-14-2010, 02:50 PM

Just for anyone wanting to watch it, Jackson released it on their youtube page about a hour ago.

Edit: I'm probably on my own on this one, but I have GAS for that guitar, Too bad I'll never be able to afford it.

My shitty internet connection wont play the vid, but I'm pretty damn sure I would have GAS for his guitar too. I love Phil's guitars, almost as much as I loved Steve's.

Loks like complete garbage IMO

Can't be Phil... The guy in the video is wearing a shirt.

There ya go for the folks that don't like a middle pickup on a PC1! 30, hmm, could be expensive? I actually eye'd that one first and wondered if that was a Phil special.

$5500 for the guitar. Nice piece but I'm not a fan of rev Strat headstocks.

But I'm really not a fan of spending $5500 for a guitar.

Who am I kidding? If I had the money, I would so buy one.

Looks better now that it's finished and has the glossy coat, but still not worth $5500.

Maybe there is hope they will do a custom shop similar to that one after all without the graphic.

I'll be asking tomorrow.

Good one.

It seemed kinda strange that Phil made a comment about Jackson having these all painted up - I thought the point was that Phil did the splatter / japanese characters?

I think that is just in relation to the quantity (seems like he was expecting 10 and then had to do 30 for the anniversary). He says just after that he was splashing paint around, so I think he probably did paint them himself.

If I had that I would either buy that money I would either buy that or a Custom Shop, to bad I have no chance of earning it :L

I dunno know.....

I am a huge fan of Phil and his original Jackson's (Crackle, Bela etc...) and very much a fan of his PC1's too but I just can not get over that new guitar he is holding.

It's just so 80's and so unoriginal.

Just seems to me that there were so many other great guitars to choose from and they went with that piece of turd.

**Bryan** · 01-15-2010, 12:38 PM

Vklobucar, how ya been?

Yeah I'm torn on the guitar. Not that i'm in any position to own one. But I dig it, especially the pickup layout and ( yes ) the graphic. But the rev strat headstock is something I've never liked.

**MakeAJazzNoiseHere** · 01-15-2010, 02:00 PM

It's actually very close to something I might spec on a custom shop order, except without the sustainer, and with a full set of inlays (and a different paint job.)
