  • David vs Goliath or suicide?

    well. One Russian guitarsmith was sooo upset when I got my Custom Dinky so they decided to make a "killer" to kill Jackson.
    the terms are:
    1. 1/3 of price
    2. some technical improvements (one piece body, jackplateless construction, less than five glueings on a headstock, and real hard to explain trick with 3piece neck)
    3. blind test and poll on our local forum

    so I decided to share with you this funny story.
    This saturday the "killer" (or kamikaze?) will be done.
    here some photos from production.




    oh yeah, they've messed with the colour, so they had to repaint it



    see other pictures here

    are you interested in posting here some test files? making a blind test poll here?

    If you send me both guitars for a weekend I'm down


    I actually would be, as soon as they arrived I'd do the test with 3 other of my friends as well, we'll make a poll and everything.

          If I recall correctly someone here had a Shamray V made for them in the last couple of years.

            Looks awesome. What exactly does "less than 5 glueings on a headstock" mean though?

                well, they decided that this kind of neck production sucks

                  Ok, I understand what you mean now. I guess if you have a 3 piece neck, and you have to add the little extra pieces for the rest of the headstock, you end up with 5. There's nothing wrong with doing it that way though, especially since it's a bolt-on neck anyway. If you really want to get crazy, you could carve the entire body and neck out of one big hunk of wood.

                    Well, they decided wrong, since a laminated, multi-piece neck will be stronger.

                      That's a pretty smoking hot guitar.

                      Love the neck and body. And the pickup config.

                        If it's as good as shamwow, then it will be a good guitar.

                          I saw the same shop's version of a Dime Stealth. Cool stuff. And yes, If I could get a cheapo version of a soloist I might bite. But the quality has to be there too. It can't just be the Rondo equivalent of a Jackson, It has to have real quality with a cheaper price.
