Funny story about one of those guitars and Jackson's QC/cost cutting. I live right down the street from Fuller's Vintage Guitar here in Houston, who anyone who knows Jacksons, knows they have a ton of high end, one off, custom shop Jackson stuff...anywhooooo, I saw one of those in there, and thought it looked cool, started playing and noticed that the veneer, (yes veneer

) top, was SOOO thin, that on the edges, where it was beveled off to the body, that it was actually chipped, for about 4-5 inches, under the clearcoat.

Yeah folks.....that's a quality instrument right there.
I believe Fuller's was selling that particular guitar for around the 2200 mark.
