new guitar!

[Davey]

Jackson DR3
my first 25.5 scale guitar hehe

mahogany body baybeeeee!! the color is so nice i dont want to use it as a project! :P the inlays look pretty good too

neck is pretty thin. probably a bit too thin for my tastes, but i have to string it up (but first i have to polish the frets.. cos they're green.. and cant do anything till monday. got to get a pot and a switch and an output jack, cos i bought it without electronics)

the body has everything i want, scalloped horn, heel (and the heel is slightly slanted towards the neck, which rules. high fret access is amazing! better than on my charvel fusion)
it looks GREAT! awesome looking color and the pickup looks great in it, as is.
i'm going to leave it HH, cos i had the best idea, when i was picking it up hehehe but i have no idea which pickup i'll put in there. i have to hear the MM first and decide based on that.

so, here's teh PIX!

Congrats! Are those inlays made from toilet seat? What pickups are you putting in?

And you have same cute little black panther as I have

[Special-K]

Oh... Nazgul that`s your little kitty... Pretty one ...
I have a 2 black ones and 2 yellow ones...
Here is the youngest: (BTW: THIS IS SO OFF TOPIC )


I wanted to name him frodo but, then I named him Jackie...
He is a complete lazy-ass-cat

the heck if i know what the inlays are made of. they look pretty nice though


i really have to polish the frets, cos they feel horrible. strip the neck too, cos i dont like the clear coat.
i also dont like the feel of the licenced bridge. used to the schaller trem i got on my fusion, this one is way too soft and it feels kinda weird.
is a floyd rose original a drop in replacement for this?

also, those fender CTS pots dont fit through the holes :P

as far as unplugged sound goes, it's louder than my fusion (this one weights less too)
it's in desperate need of a setup though


yea.. that's one of the cats we have. this one is nuts! the other one is lazy as hell

The inlays are MOTO..They look the same as mine...
MOP would shine more...
Normal white plastics wouldn`t have the texture

[Davey]

oh..

pickups

the bridge is a Bareknuckle Pickups Miracle Man (with a distressed black cover, in a spiderweb pattern, as you can see)
the neck.. i have no idea, but it's going to be from the BKP roster. probably a cold sweat, or similar. the cover will continue the graphic somewhat

like tha axes and the cats mew.

Yup it is - unless you decide to change the posts and locking nut.
