Re: Made in Japan - Jackson Stars, best kept secre

Who'd you get it through dude? The fact they do 24fret neckthrough rhoadses and offer crimson swirl means I'm only a reverse matcing headstock away from my dream guitar!

Try Ishibashi.com I think it is, correct me if I am wrong, they speak English and will help you place your order.

I'm very interested in the jackson stars range, after the blooddrip warrior on ebay made a mate of mine question stars, I linked him the site and looked at it myself....needless to say I need info on where to get these puppy's [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Japan to Aus would be alot easier and closer for an international order...if there wasnt a major language and cultural barrier.

I saw 'em in Kawasaki City. I was living in Yokohama from September until March, and then in Chiba until the middle of July, then came back to the US.

They were supposed to have some shows in Europe but I don't know if they did any in the US...

Re: Made in Japan - Jackson Stars, best kept secre

Really, where'd you see them? Are they on tour in the US now?

Looks like someone else got to it before me, but to re-confirm, the neighborhood is "Ochanomizu"

BTW, they love Americans there, found them to be very willing to help... Didn't know the Japanese were such rockers, but should've known since I own a couple Loudness albums from the mid-80s...

I saw Loudness live back in December... fuckin'A it was an awesome show. They were touring for their "Rockshocks" album which is just "self-covers" of a bunch of their their old songs, so I got to hear 'em do most of the classics. As expected Akira played some mad shit.

Actually you can disable the time limit by deleting the figure and selecting the blank time period. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Works beautifully.

discovered a line of Made in Japan Jackson guitars called Jackson Stars, made only for sale in Japan.

Has anyone on JCF seen/played/owned one of these?

I've had the pleasure of owning a 24 fret Rhoads Stars. It was a VERY quality instrument and played and sounded great. Wish I didn't have to sell her, but the new owner is an old school headbanger, so he's gigging her nightly [img]/images/graemlins/band.gif[/img] If I weren't going custom shop right now, I'd definatly try to pick one up, but dunno how the hell I would. I was lucky enough to trade it from some dude on this forum...forgot his name now. Memory's goin in my old age, lol
