      There is no such thing as too many Jacksons!

The pup covers were treated with acid, though I was concerned about fiddling with the chrome pieces or any moving parts, so they stayed chrome. Most people here have already seen this as well (the trans black WR1 the hardware came from is currently on eBay with all black hardware and EMGs).



        I remember when you first posted this guitar with the upgrades you did. It looks great! Jackson should offer the bolted steel graphic with your upgrades as standard on it! They compliment it nicely in keeping with the theme

            Float like a Floyd, Sting like a Jackson. Or something like that he used to say
            Thank You Robert.

                Awesome guitar! Love the kelly shape...seeing a cracked mirror on it makes it that much more metal!

                  Overall, that's a really nice looking guitar. Having the inlays and headstock match the body really helps to pull them together with the body but for the logo, I think it would have looked better in black. That would have tied it into the fingerboard, hardware and pickups plus it would have made it more legible.

                    Matt_B, I can see your point about the black logo going better with the pickups and showing up better against the bright background but I think the way it is now is more in keeping with the over the top theme of the guitar.
                    And Trace, that Kelly looks great. Real mirror? Wow They did a great job bringing the glass up along the edge short of the bevels. You almost don't realize that its a beveled edge and not a flat top.

                      Thanks to everyone for their pictures so far! Anyone feel free to post links to some cracked mirror guitars that they have seen in the past (even if you're not the owner!). Everyone's posts have been awesome...I can't help but drool over all of those killer guitars!

                      Rudy, does your cracked mirror rhoads have an abalone jackson logo? Or is that mother of pearl?

                        I used to own a cracked mirror Kelly and can't find any pictures of it. I think I might have some at home.

                        Guitar Asylum has a King Kelly in cracked mirror. This is very close to mine....mirror inlays, reverse headstock. Here's the link to their pics:

                              WOW!
                              Thanx for the link dude.
                              This was the guitar which got me into Jacksons at a Megadeth show in '97.

                              And today I'm gonna see them again here in Stuttgart with Testament and Judas Priest! Sadly today I will see a damn Dean!

                              cheers
