I just went to their website and can't find the Warrior when I searched under their "body type" category. It seems they give less and less of a fuck about that model each year....did they finally just let it die?

That's a shame. I almost went with ordering a warrior when I ordered a custom. Their V's are sweet, too, though.
 
It's strange. Most of the Warriors I see are either the DD signature, which I don't like...or the really cheap JS models, with the occasional $600 one with thr shitty FR special bridge. They need more models that start at $1000 price range
 
I think you're just looking at the 2021 releases - it doesn't seem like there are any new Warriors this year. They still have Warriors listed if you select Gear at the top of the page.

That “Non-Sig Hetfield” white King V Pro looks awesome. I’ve wanted one in that spec for a looong time.

Yeah you're right. Still it's a shame they dont more models, more Pro series models anyway. Just one...and its a sig model, it seems. You either get low end, or super high end, not much in between. And I wonder, is it the only model in the lineup that hasn't been updated for 2021?
 
This is my axe. I swear it is made of hellfire

I was looking at the DD, but the foreign Jacksons have never compared to my 1988 USA RR. They play like an explorer. I’ll save up and get a USA model.

Those models have been there through all of 2020 too. But thanks. Still not enough variety and colors for me. They should have a full out Pro series, non-sig Warrior line, with at least 5 different colors, all around $1000 range.

Yeah, that would be nice. I would assume that there isn't a huge demand for a variety of off the shelf warrior models. There's always the custom shop route if you know what you want and its not available stock. Can't please everyone otherwise.
