Chris Broderick leaves Ibanez and goes to Jackson

[DK2M92]

I like it, not my bag though. But, I do like that it's a little bit different though.

so, now that people have seen the guitar, does that mean that the "broderick comes to jackson" boner-fest is over? all i saw on here was excitement bordering on stupidity (especially for adults), and now that the guitar has been shown, people are bitching? typical. it seems jackson can't win....

anyway, i like the guitar. it is different and gives jackson a MODERN guitar. the broderick sort of reminds me of my brian moore, which is a guitar that was designed for functionality and playing comfort. i like it, and depending on price/color options may pick one up. it would be nice to play a jackson live without some dingle-berry making an "80's comment.

good job jackson!!

I really like the shape, I don't know why. I would've prefered a different knob/selector placement, and maaybe the lower horn for better access/to make the shape flow more. Other than that, I really like that.

I was extremely happy when Chris came to Jackson, and now that they released this shape, I see nothing but good things in the future.

I really dig this. Better than just doing a regular Soloist, IMO.

If you think about it, many bands who play thrash, death and extreme metal these days could fit in that category as well, and no one worries or carse about an 80's comment anymore! IMO pointy headstocks, superstarts and ponity guitars in general are somehow becoming fashionable again with the metal acts and kids are digging them...

I like Chris's new guitar but I'm not in love with it, however I think Jackson is on the right track by diversifying their collection a bit.

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.

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.

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.

[dante]

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

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 :
