That Kelly is F****ng SWEET!

I wish they would bring back the KE with the bound quilt top and TOM.

[ke3freak]

2nd that.

[eakinj]

Where there's a will there's a way... those are sweet!

[laihojrxo]

i'd dig the kelly...
their warrior is also really nice...too bad i cant afford a new one and no one is selling a used one XOOOO

[Axewielder]

Those neck thru warriors do look nice, although 175000 yen doesn't get you any savings in the US over a WR1 by the time you figure the exchange rate and shipping.

The limited edition trans purple Kelly would be nice to own

Ahhhh... if only i had my tax return

Didn't notice the red quilt RR before though I've been to the site few days ago.

Now that one quite tickles my fancy... I have to investigate!

EDIT: Kind of a shame about the inlays, didn't see them at first. But still, mighty fine... rearloaded too... and the price is very right, compared to the TN01 models.

EDIT 2: I just found out that my postcount resembles the current year. To celebrate this anniversary, I should buy myself that JacksonStars RR. Yes, I'm good with finding reasons to justify a guitar purchase...

I'm just waiting to hear that the Custom shop is 100% go, then I want to price out my king v or kelly (finally) or maybe soloist... good lord..


as I said prior to buying my fist JacksonStars "It's like crack to a junky"

MORE GUITARS

[shadowcat]

Eh, my excitement didn't last long, crushed by a simple currency conversion calculator tool.

With the distributor change to Yamano and the resulting price increase, as well as the Yen going strong at the moment, I calculated the overall price for that RR (168,000 yen plus 18,000 yen shipping, then adding customs fee and VAT) to come out at 2020 €.

And those current TN01 models ranging between 252,000 and 270,000 yen would actually result in a price of about 2700 €!!!

For that kind of coin I could even buy a USA Jackson in a regular german store... or I could save alot of money and buy one from the US (hypothetically speaking, as none of the USA Jacksons has the features I want).

I guess that's it, no more JacksonStars for me. At least I got three of them while it lasted.

[Newc]

For me, the features are the key. You can't order a neckthrough Custom Shop Jackson and get it for $2700, much less a 24 fret Rhoads with trans red quilted maple top, maple board, etc etc. Maybe if there was nothing different from an RR1/T, yeah, but then that's just retarded to do so - a Custom Shop RR1 - what a laff

However, for the features you are getting in that model, and for the construction quality, the price is fair. Your only other alternative is to hope a USA dealer orders one from the CS and doesn't sell it at $3500+ for a year or more, then lets it go for $2700.

[shadowcat]

Indeed, features are key. That's why I'll get back on waiting for the KV5 specs now.

While the price for that particular model is fair, it's certainly not a bargain, and considering I already own two 24fret RRs right now I don't feel the need to add another at that price point.

If the JacksonStars custom shop actually reopens I will investigate again. But then it will be a full custom shop King V for me and THEN the price comparison is a whole other story.

[QuantumRider]

168000 is the list price, in which case actual store price will be 126000, as shown below
