This guitar is simply stunning and brings back nostalgic memories:
My first ‘nice’ guitar was a USA / San Dimas soloist in 1987. Snow White with Platinum Pearl. I sold it when I got in a band that was playing 4-5 nights a week because I couldn’t stand to see it get bumped and bruised. Used the proceeds to build a pair of Warmoth Beaters and had had enough left for a used 4x12.
No just the way the business is running. They don’t have enough builders. And they focus pretty much solely on special builds for artists and push paying customers aside for that. There’s guys who literally ordered builds 4 years ago that are just coming in now that they paid in full for. Sometimes there’s a mistake on the build too. Then Jackson comes back with well take it or the wait is now 3 years. Their customer service is rivaling kiesel at this point, they’re just not total dicks about it.
Edit: I’ll add here I’m a big believer in their products and have owned several custom shops, and still do. They’ve been my favorite build for a while. But all their bull shit has caused me to start looking elsewhere.

Hear your fustration here... me too wanting an absinthe frost with matching color inverter head stock... but a 3 year wait be far too long... 2 years would still be ok....
