NGD (Soon Anyway) - Jackson Custom Shop Soloist

I tell you, one of the best necks I've played was a Jackson DK2, it's about the perfect shred shape to me. I can only imagine a custom shop neck.
 
For those of you that hate finished necks, go over it lightly with 000 steel wool, it will 'dull' the finish and not be sticky. If you ever change your mind on the feel or want to sell it, you can buff it back out.

Steve, you definitely are keeping the guys with ugly guitars in business :lol: :LOL:

Well, so long as YOU'RE happy man, that's what counts. Betcha she'll play like a liquored cheerleader ;)

Very nice! I saw that one in my perusing of a guitar to buy. The coolest soloist I've ever seen was a carved top soloist made by Pablo in the Custom Shop, with a raptor skull on it. It was fucking badass.

I have a custom painted KV2 coming. I'm definitely stoked to see that beast.
 
What a killer looking Jackson!!! I would toss a set of Maple pup rings on it myself.....

DUDE!! When did you hit the Lotto!!! Congrats!! :hys:
Well... in all fairness I have sold a bunch of stuff when buying anything... Like I just sold my Egnater Seminar head and a Decimator Pro Rack G... But I have had a couple nice bonus/commission checks this year as well! :rock:

Good call.
Can either of you give me a link to an example of maple pickup rings that would look good on this guitar?

Thanks,

Steve

AWESOME!! I'm just glad to see you buying some cool stuff because I know that you are usually conservative......AKA (not and asshat like I am with the credit cards lol :D )
 
Excellent guitar man! I so identify with your youthful experiences wanting the nice Jacksons and Charvels. :lol: :LOL: I think my day may be coming as well.:rock:
I didn't think I'd see you with an EMG loaded guitar, surprised by that. Having said that, I've never tried them myself, just have the stereotypical view that they're more for the brootz. :confused:
 
Awesome looking guitar...absolutely stunning :thumbsup:

Personally I've never been able to bond with Soloists for some reason. I've had a bunch (have one now in fact) but I always end up selling them and I really can't pinpoint why????

Cool! Post your KV2 when you get it...

I THINK Jim Soloway's stuff has wood pup rings but I have no clue where to score these so a rather wasted reply.

Yeah, I went there and looked at the flame maple rings (posted the link above), but I can't see how those would look good on this particular guitar... Maybe if they were painted like the guitar, but otherwise they'd look out of place to me... What specific rings do you think would look good on this guitar? Just wondering...
