Chris Broderick leaves Ibanez and goes to Jackson

[Jacksons Shred]

This is great for Jackson!

Dave.. We're waiting.

Awesome news, and a smurf hat too!

Here's hoping for a 7 version!

[djpharoah]

Wonder if it will be a 12" straight radius which he said he preferred, which his white ibanez was.

Hoping it;s the standard 12-16" but if not probably still grab the 7 string one.

I'm stoked!

Any other pics except the ones with the headstock?

[straycat]

Diggin it so far.

Sounds like it could look like an archtop Suhr Modern: "unusual new touch in the form of a slightly offset carved-top body"

Seeing it reversed reminds me a bit of the 3x3 Fernandes style.

To think of it, it also reminds me a little of Caparison 2x4 headstocks... Anyhow, can't wait to see the whole guitar.

If they're letting him design his own signature model, then good for him. I much prefer that to the snoozefest that is ESP or Schecter giving someone a sig that is a pickup swap or plastic inlay away from a standard model. I'm not in the market for a new guitar anyway, but I'm sure it'll have some cool features, and I'm a bit of a fan of the SLS headstock. Seeing it reversed reminds me a bit of the 3x3 Fernandes style.

Ah yeah - I just saw a pic of that. I was always told if you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing. So:

Okay, how many other people highlighted the rest of the post hoping to read the black on black "It made me shit my pants in horror."

[wilkinsi]

So he acknowledges "I'beenhad"? Good for him.

[Grim]

Think it looks great. I like that headstock.
