    While most of the headstocks in the first photo seem to correspond with the bodies seen in the second photo, I don't believe the headstock seen above the Spectrum body is for the Spectrum.
    The necks don't all match up to the bodies in the 2 pics. Look all the way to the left in the top pic. Looks like the orange (spectrum?) has a painted neck, white binding and rosewood board and dots.

      Spectrum was a Charvel =) Now that i have analyzed the photos i think they changed the places of the first and seventh guitars from the left.

      Are those some new production line guitars since there is only 1 made in usa in there? Also is that a Chris Brodericks sig on the one to the right?

          Good eye! The 3x3 solar quilt headstock in the middle of the first photo probably matches with the solar quilt Monarkh body on the very left of the second photo.

          They're just trying to keep us on our toes by shuffling the order of some of the guitars.

            Is that chlorine the only USA guitar there?

            I suspect that Angel Vivaldi guy will be getting a Charvel sig, so is that what the white one is on the Charvel twitter link?

                The orange one, may be a Student model Soloist ala Jeff Beck, Look at the very first headstock on the left. The color looks orange to me, and dot inlays. He had two Soloist, the pink one and the Orange, that had the funky pickguarrd, that IMC used on the Charvel imports around 89 IIRC

                  I think the headstock pic of that looks pink, but it could be lighting / angle I guess..

                    Actually, he had three Soloists. There was a white one, too. See the Rod Stewart Infatuation video.

                      That chlorine might be a 7-string. Look at the arrangement of the tuners compared to the 6-string solar Monarkh headstock. I wonder if it's a 7-string Mansoor with a roasted maple neck/fretboard.

                        Yeah, that's exactly what it is. They redid his line with roasted maple necks/boards, satin finishes, flame instead of quilt, and some new colors. I think the changes suck personally - IMO the solid colors look they picked look terrible with the roasted maple. They also got rid of the neck binding and changed the inlays to dots too.

                        Also, regarding 7 strings, there is going to be a Pro Model of that Dave Davidson signature Warrior - some overseas site posted all this stuff early. There is also going to be Pro Model hardtail Brodericks that same site had up. I think they took everything down now though.

                          Definitely a 7 string. You can see all 7 strings on the fretboard. The white w/black binding and the black w/white binding are Mick Thomson production runs. I'm hoping for USA models. Been wanting the limited but $5k is too steep for it.

                            P.S. Hard to tell from the pic, but that orange looks neon to my eye. JB's was not, though. More likely an "inspired by" approach.

                              That was my thought as well.

                                This is all we have for the Jackson line-up for now? Full catalogs are on-line for a lot of others............
