You guys got any burning questions for the Custom Shop?

[RacerX]

I'm headed there tomorrow for a thing, want me to ask a bunch of annoying questions? Not "Why doesn't it take 2 months for my guitar to be finished?" :ROTF:

I will check out the layout of the building(s) and see once and for all where J & C are made, etc.

You don't have long, because I have to print this out by, oh, 8 AM tomorrow.

[Jack Napalm]

Will they do a neck thru strat head?

Not "Why doesn't it take 2 months for my guitar to be finished?" :ROTF:

how about "how many Mexican Fender employees does it take to assemble a Custom Shop Charvel?"

My thoughts exactly..Maybe they are really Charvez?

[Ben...]

Umm... ask when they are beginning production on some seven strings.

Tell McD to give us more stuff to do. I want another free T-shirt. (Just kidding about the t-shirt thing.)

[hgsmith]

why after 2 attempts they could not get my Korina soloist right? WO2075

[Grandturk]

Find out when my Adrian Smith with be ready to ship to Matt's!!!


Seriously, I'd like to hear a little about the wood selection for various levels of guitar and their "attention to detail" on the various lines.

Can you ask if they are planning to put out some cool shirts again?...I would love to have one like my King V shirt again...Maybe tell them to have a shirt for every major model...Soloist, Warrior, Rhoads etc...Thanks

[VitaminG]

good call on the shirts! I've almost worn out my old one. Jackson logo on the front, HRF King V on the back. Simple and perfect.

I've taken a tour of the J & C it's a pretty cool experience

[fullmetalguitar]

This is going to be awesome. I'm going to ask them if they'll give me an endorsement deal. I'm sure that will get a good laugh.

[neilli]

The two questions I've not got 'full' answers to are:

- Why does gold hardware on a custom order cost an extra $250? It's like they look at the whole hardware cost as an extra, not just the upcharge for gold.
- As Hamer are now owned by FMIC and still make 'Gibson shapes' why can't Jackson?

[Evol]

I got one :

When will we ever see a more modern production charvel strat head with a recessed trem?

[Leo Chang]

Will there be more color / finish choices for the USA Selects?

(probably not right away, but what about down the road?)

- Leo.

[thebigz]

On a dinky with a recessed trem, do they work the neck and body equally to get the neck angle right, or is it just the body? Basically, could you take a neck from a recessed floyded guitar and put it on a body built for a non-recessed floyd?

If that doesn't make sense, look at Newc's post in this thread:

Not sure if its the same for American and Japanese building (I'm using a DK2M neck), but it would be nice to know what to expect when I get to this point.

Thanks.
