    Default $2000 for winter camo - ??????

    Well, I know that camo graphic isn't a cheap one, but Jackson offers you that for $2000. Dan Lawrence graphics like pile'o skullz will cost you only $600, which is three times less than camo... So why it's so expensive, any thoughts?
    My English as bad as shit:

    Take some rattle cans and do it yourself. It's not hard, I did it when building models as a kid.

    Dr. Distortion... is this after Dr. Iron Fist?
    How much are the USA jacksons in Kiev? I lived in Donetsk in the beginning of my life and my guitar was called "Ural". Good ol' days in post Soviet Ukraine, Thrash metal giging in the power plant's and different factorie's auditoriums. Back than if you were sober enough to see your frets and strings- you sucked as a musician

    Funny, Snakeskin cost me $500 extra at the time (2001 ...and prices haven't went up that much)

    To start with, a winter camo will cover the whole guitar, not just the face. The skulls graphic is a production graphic so it will be done with established masks / templates, whereas winter camo has never been a standard option so it'll be more of a 'one off' each time. Plus they probably allow extra to cover any insignia, bullet holes etc.
    Popular is not the same as good
    Rare is not the same as valuable
    Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

    Woops, didn't think about that part, so in actuality, getting Winter Camo means it's a customshop, hence the pricedifference (my snakeskin being a select finish)
