I dislike the headstock...

I like it. Glad to see Broderick with Jackson, and glad to see Jackson add something new, especially if they offer it in the USA Select or Signature Series lineup. It's a refreshing addition to the standard Dinky/Soloists (which I LOVE, so don't take that out of context) and the Warriors, Vs, Kellys, Rhoads pointies. The fact that it will be available in 6 or 7-string is another added plus. I think it's a good move on Jackson's part - one working to bring Broderick into the fold, and two bringing a completely new guitar into the lineup.

Well, i like it, the head is really nice for 7 strings, but i think it's really look like a regius 7 from mayones even if the chris broderick's signature seems to have thinner horn :

At first I was pretty meh about the shape, but the guitar has really grown on me since I saw the first picture. I might have to pick up one of those 7s when they're released.

I saw one of the moderators on SS.org post the pricing, but he quickly modded the post saying you should contact Matt's Music to get pricing. I don't know if I should repeat it, but it's freaking expensive. Like, expensive.

well, it's kind of the point, at least it's not some flavour-of-the-month-celebrity, import only guitar; like some brands will do. it rocks cuz it's expensive LOL XD

Is it me or does the body shape just look like a Schecter from a few years ago? Albeit with a strange control config..

It reminds me of the flat top WM Washburn.

I think it is a great step for Jackson. He is becoming (if not already is) a very high profile player. You can't expect everyone to love a new shape. I personally prefer the classic soloist shape, while others prefer this shape for it's uniqueness. People can be excited about news about something upcoming, and have the right to be disappointed if it wasn't what they can be expected. Was I excited to hear of a Chris Broderick sig Jackson? yep. Was I disappointed when I actually saw a pic of it? Yeah, a bit. Does it mean I'm any less of a Jackson/Broderick, etc.? Hell no.

It is a solid guitar, very refreshing....just not my style, I think. If it comes out as USA at a great price point, it may be irresistible!! I'm not gonna run out and sell any of my Jacksons because the Broderick sig wasn't what I expected...it happens! Atleast we get new models this year and not just a batch of custom shops! Props to Jackson for trying something new..and if it will be a USA 7, perhaps it will be a test run for more shapes/designs to come if it sells well.
