Jackson Custom Shop

[TVTiZtiK]

Awesome instruments, for sure. All stellar.
I'm interested in ordering a Custom Shop Soloist.

How does one go about this?
I'm aware of the form on the site - extensive.

Am I supposed ot take this to a local retailer?
TBQH, I'd rather order online or out of state - our Sales Tax is quite high ~9%, which would add several hundreds of dollars to the purchase price. Are there shops that deal with non-locals?

Any advice appreciated...thanks.

It's pretty easy actually. You'll more than likely have to order out of state to find a dealer you like. If you can fill out the spec form on your own, then it's as simple as emailing it to a dealer for a quote. If you need help filling out the spec form a dealer can help you, or a somebody from here could help you.

As far as dealers go I'd go with one of the sponsoring dealers here. I have to vouch for Nick at Piney Hills Music for being a great dealer, but the other dealers are good as well.

Hope I answered your questions

I think I'd rather have something else than a Floyd given the fact that I already have two floyd-equipped guitars.

Is it Air Norton that is in the neck? I love that mic. It's so easy to make it scream. When I do slow solos with the JP6 it always gives me that nice gliss on the long notes. Fab! Nothing less.

Good question the neck pickup in the JP6 I believe is custom-made for MM but he used the Air Norton in his Ibanez models as far as I'm aware.

Oh,
Fukkkk me that red snakeskin is gorgeous.
Maple board is just perfect.

I haven't tried the Ibanez Petrucci. Only the Musicman. And it's the musicman pickup I want. It is the perfect neck pickup.

That red snakeskin guitar is absolutely fantastic. Congrats, tonezone. Now THAT is the way to do a custom guitar...

My guitar teacher has a seven string MM Petrucci. Those pickups are so nice, especially the neck one.

Why have a locking nut if you're using LSR's? I've never understood that.

Some people seem to like having locking tuners behind the locking nut simply cause it makes string changes easier/quicker.

Thank you very much.

Finally Ordering a CS - been wanting to for years !!

Well a little story behind my Custom Shop Order:

A few years back I was playing a show at our local county fair
with my Candy Green 95 Jackson Dinky RVS Pro - after it was over
someone came up to me and ask if it was my John Deere Guitar !!
( I Live in Kansas ) I thought it was kind of a cool and funny statement,
so I went down to our local John Deere Dealer and bought a couple decals
to slap on it. Well it went over very well ---always got great comments at
shows - it was always talked about and alot of fun !!
The 95 RVS is my all time favorite Jackson and since I grew up on a farm,
and was the youngest in my family - I always got stuck running the John
Deere 95 Combine during harvest because it was the only one without A/C.

So - I came up with my own version of the John Deere Custom Shop.
I sent all my info to our local Jackson CS dealer and am now waiting on
a quote ---- Can't wait to get this thing going !!!
I am using alot of the specs from the 95RVS and some changes that I
want on the guitar.

Unfortunately, Jackson won't put the trademarked John Deere logo on it for you. They quit doing that stuff in 2003
