Chris Broderick leaves Ibanez and goes to Jackson

[RockNRollClown]

Well I'm new here (What's up?) so I'll just jump right in! I really like what Chris and Phil Collen are bringing with their new models. At first I didn't like the PC Supreme, but it's really starting to grow on me now! I really like the headstock on Chris' model, and the clean board with the DiMarzios is killer! I do agree that Jackson has had that 80's stigma to it (which is not a bad thing) but it looks like they are trying to diversify a bit with a little more "modern" looking guitars. Which I think is an awesome thing! Way to go Jackson!!!

ibanez suffers from UBERMEGACORP syndrome. they can't make anything custom.

Because they don't have their own factory, other than the LACS. They actually just opened one, but it's in Indonesia. Everything else is farmed out to Fujigen, Cort, whatever.

Damn Floyd Rose.....

Any news about the guitar? When does it go into production?

Now that Chris and Jr. are with Jackson, I bet when Mustaines contract is up with Dean... he'll come home!

I had heard that Mustaine was very bitter towards the Jackson camp. I honestly wonder how this went over with Dave, or if he even tried to talk him out of it? Dave belongs with Jackson as well.

Considering he was just about to re-sign with Jackson in 2007 before Dean drove up with a truckload of money, and him saying that he was hoping Broderick would sign with Jackson or Dean, I doubt he's all that bitter.

There's money to be made with Mustaine + Jackson. He'll be back sooner or later to cash in.

I'm not big on the bottom of the guitar... the asymmetric thing doesn't do it for me. However, it looked less ridiculous when he was playing it in the video. I think Dave will come back to Jackson in a bit, seeing as the rest of the band is playing them now. I know Deans are solid quality though, but I just really hate the inlays on the Dave Vs. In my mind Sharkfin or nothing... with an ebony board is the way to go.

Here is a link to a premier guitar video where we can see it a little bit.

Hi guys,

Don't think it has been posted yet. The pics from Chris's blog!!!!

[toejam]

Wow, looks great!

[Jack Napalm]

A red 7-string has my name on it some where.

[cixelsyd]

Wow! Those are gorgeous! I really like the shaping on the top, now that I can see it in some detail. I guess I'd have to see how it feels, though.

[Animus]

Nice! These are about to come out right? Got to start warming up my credit card. :-)

[Jack Napalm]

The 6-stings should be out soon. Soon being a relative term. I hear the 7-Strings were end of year.
