Smash
Hack
So, the way it works is that you have the telephone game with a middle man. You don't get to talk directly to Jackson. I had read all the horror stories on the forums already. It was scary for me, because I am very particular about certain features. Like the Reverse headstock, single volume (inline with the bridge)/single humbucker (no switch, neck pickup, middle pickup, tone knob), and rear control cavity are all very important to me. I was really hoping it was neck through and not bolt on. They did good on that. They nailed the finish. But the things that they got wrong: I didn't want inlays at all (I actually am kind of a fan of the way the inlays look on this one, though), I didn't want the v-plate for the string through, I wanted a clean mount for the pickup, I wanted a speed pot for volume, and I wanted a custom/59 pickup. I am fairly certain they gave me a jb bridge. Fortunately, I like the Jb so far, though I probably have a couple spare custom/59s laying around, and definitely have extra sd low friction pots. I may rewire it, if it gets on my nerves. But all and all, like I said earlier, after waiting this long, when he sent me a pic of the finish product, I was like, ok I can't wait to play it.
