Just Had To Say...Think I Like This New Jackson

[angelspade]

Haven't owned a Jackson in a very long time...But

 

[SoooRad]

That's cool! Updated Skatecaster. Not my style, but I can appreciate it.

 

[Devin]

Pretty rad

 

[napalmdeath]

Nope. Inlays yuck, pick-ups yuck..

 

[japetus]

It reminds me of those First Act guitars they sold at Wal Mart back in the day

That is age kicking in bro

Huh? Age? I don't get it...do tell.

 

[thegame]

It's a Joke, son.

Joke about getting older and liking those Jaguar/Mustang shapes

I like almost all guitars except for offsets

IDK what it is, but they just look dorky to me

Ohhhh...ok. I actually was thinking the opposite. That most if the jackso n fans here prefer the 80's style "pointy" Jackson's.

Yeah, I could never live with something like that. Can’t like it under any angle.

Exactly. Because we all are still metal

I think it's possible to make an offset look cool...... if you call Thunderbirds and RDs offsets

Exactly

But my memories of this shaped guitar was when I was in my early teens when Tommy Victor and Scott Ian were both rocking the Charvel Surcasters and just thought it looked cool and unusual for metal.

 

[rsm]

only offset I like are Fender Jags.

Jackson, I like Rhoads and Warriors.

You know, now that I think about it

Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio/Blink 182 makes jaguars look cool ?

So maybe it's just that I associate the shape with like 26 year old COVID hobbyists with "coexist" bumper stickers, EQD and Caroline pedals, and asking if gear "dooms"

Still not my cup of tea

A non reverse firebird with a reverse JAMES TYLER headstock would be sweet though.

That sounds like a hideous hipster faggot guitar that J Mascis or Josh Scott would play

I kid i kid the mascis jazzers are supposed to be good

They aren't cool enough for a non reverse firebird. This guy is tho:


My first electric was a 65 jaguar in lake placid blue. It is probably the most comfortable seated guitar ever built but I still hate jags and jazzmaster, especially the jags. Crappy trem crappy bridge crappy pickups and a bunch of switches that really didn't do anything worth a damn. As a kid it sure looked cool with all that chrome, switches, and dials.
