Chris Broderick leaves Ibanez and goes to Jackson

[eaeolian]

It's Jackson - it can take a while. I knew about the SLAT3-7 for a year before it turned up. If there is a Pro series of this, they're certainly not going to announce it when they haven't even got the USAs out the door yet, are they?

Agree 110%. I am beginning to develop a little wood for that guitar the more I see it. I want to shred just from looking at it. My other Jackson's could get jealous. Thats almost as sexy as a Chameleon PC-1. Maybe sexier.

You need to see the trans red and white ones man. SERIOUS wood.

When the hell will they release a Pro series version of this? They conformed it, according to Sevenstring.org, but WHEN?!?!

Anyone see the inteview with Broderick on the Jackson Youtube channel? When you see that 7 string in the video it just looks awesome, moreso than stills.

Ah, very cool. Thanks for the info, Mike.

Interesting that it's got a 7-string Floyd Rose Pro. I've only seen the regular OFR as a 7, and there's no info on Floyd's site about the Pro.

Apparently the 7 string Floyd Pro is being developed for this guitar, which is one reason it's behind schedule.

Well, at least he's friendly!

[javert]

Yeah, what the hell was that...

Back in the 90's Akai built (or bought) a Korean factory for producing the acoustic line they made. Some Charvel solid bodies were made there to see how good they would be.
When FMIC purchased the Jackson/Charvel Manufacturing company, did they get that property with it? Or was it not part of the deal? Thats a question worth hearing an answer on.
And while we are at it, the sample I played then was not up to Japanese par then. But now maybe a different story. I am not racist towards Koreans. My Korean made 2005 Schecter Ultra holds its own in my collection with no problem.

that trans white quilt maple top is amazing looking...

^ I understand what you're saying as I've been following it since day one, however, it's really hard to tell at this point how such a catastrophe might have a significant effect on the nation's economy and its industry as a whole. I know something for sure that the Japanese are a very resilient people and will overcome this disaster probably sooner than later, so let's be optimistic and hope for the best.

The question is, if FMIC decided to move their production let's say to South Korea for any reason, would that affect the quality of their guitars, and would import fans be as excited or as committed to the Jackson products?

I love my Japanese guitars, all but 1 are from there. My Jackson's and Charvel's, and I love them. I don't know if I'd ever buy a South Korean Jackson... I'd have to try it out first.
