Matt's custom Jackson guitar

evilematt · September 3rd, 2008, 10:00 AM

There's nothing to see yet i haven't got one, i just wanted to start this thread because i'm being prepared....

I'm having a custom jackson guitar made, it's going to take a long time to build (maybe a year), and cost a good amount of euros, but i've asked the jackson fellas if it's possible to send me pictures of the guitar in progress as they're building it, so hopefully soon i will start being able to put up pictures here so you can all see whats happening, thought it might be nice to share!!

It's gonna be a sexy beast, i used to play a white RR5, which i used to record ETG with, but when i got the jackson endorsement i fell in love with the gun metal grey KV2 which i've now been using for quite a while, i love V guitars, so i'm having a custom V built exactly how i want it, no need to really give any details of it as you'll see it when i post pictures of it as it's being built.

ooooooh suspense.

Watch this space!!!

Lordmoron · September 3rd, 2008, 11:26 AM

That sounds well good, cant wait to see pics of it along the way

Zehm · September 3rd, 2008, 11:38 PM

locking trem or neck thru? color? the real question, how is it different from stock? wait... are you geting a custom shape?

vMETALLICAv · September 4th, 2008, 06:31 AM

wow thats good news congratulations. looking forward to seeing pics of it an eventually hearing it

evilematt · September 4th, 2008, 07:13 AM

Stop tailpiece, tunomatic bridge - i have no need for a trem at all. only having 22 frets, i rarely go past 12 haha.

its a thru-neck, mahogany body, maple neck, ebony fretboard.

Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups.

It's gonna be silver, and the shape will be a Double Rhoads, its a V but BIGGER!!!

and its gonna be sexy!

Zehm · September 4th, 2008, 10:38 AM

bigger? longer wings like dave mustane's old king v's?

Pablokers · September 4th, 2008, 11:16 AM

Fail, all V guitars need 24 frets haha!!

As for the Blackouts, good choice. I'd Kill for a KV2, but sadly I didn't wanna spend £2000 on one so I bought an RR3 instead.

evilematt · September 8th, 2008, 06:38 AM

yeah bigger longer wings, lot bigger body, the KV2 body feels too small and the neck feels too long...

so bigger body shorter neck!! dont need 24 frets when i dont go past the 12th really.

thrasherdave · September 8th, 2008, 07:52 AM

Why not just get a double rhoads or buy an RR1T?

evilematt · September 8th, 2008, 10:42 AM

It is a double rhoads.....

dawg.

Zehm · September 8th, 2008, 11:22 AM

so it's a jackson but the size of moser's bastard?

evilematt · September 9th, 2008, 01:45 AM

its a jackson and the size of a jackson double rhoads.....

like a king v, but bigger body shorter neck. but bigger guitar overall....

i think the body is something like 4 inches longer.

give it 9 months and you'll be able to see it!

ThorZ · September 9th, 2008, 01:47 AM

9 months is a long time man !!!

thrasherdave · September 9th, 2008, 03:47 AM

Now I feel like a tool lmao!

Well ,I look forward to seeing it - if its not 100% sexual then I'm gonna hang out with gama Bomb for awhile LOL!

Zehm · September 9th, 2008, 09:13 AM

goes to watch paint dry... why so long? they won't have to prototype anything will they?

Noel · September 9th, 2008, 10:37 AM

9 months is ok, is just like waiting for a baby to be born

evilematt · September 9th, 2008, 12:31 PM

i imagine its because there will be a lot of customer orders to fulfill so there will be a backlog of guitars to build i guess, depending on how many people work in the custom shop...

say if theres 6 guys work there, hand building guitars from nothing, and they 1000 custom orders from all over the world to do there will be a wait.

not bothered about the wait though, it will be a quality guitar! so it's probably time to go look at the boobs thread!

Zehm · September 9th, 2008, 12:35 PM

i'm prety sure you're still wining

thrasherdave · September 10th, 2008, 08:16 PM

Matts the bewb master. No wonder you always shout TITS during interviews and such hahaha!

EVILEDOM · September 23rd, 2008, 04:12 AM

Ocelot2010 · September 30th, 2008, 10:46 PM
