This one is out of the Jackson Custom shop. I had it made with Symore Duncan George Lynch Scream'n Demond at the bridge and a Duncan Pearly Gates at the neck. Rosewood with shark fin inlays, and grover tuners. Also have a Floyd standard trem.
I had it painted with the Lucky Strike cigarette logo.
They sent a custom SKB case with it that is by far the best case I have ever seen.

I teach music theory and play in a band that covers lots of Dream Theater, Sprung Monkey, and Slayer tunes. For this wide of a varity in music this guitar is by far the best I have ever played. I have two Gibsons'. One is a Les Paul (gee who would have known?) the other is an explorer. Neither comes close to the quality, and attention to deatil that Jackson put into this guitar.
You want tone, or just ease of play...Custom guitars are the way to go. 28 fret neck thru body. I have had it for six years now and love it.
I use a Soldano head with a Marshall stack. Not a whole lot of effects except the awesome distortion from the Soldano, reverb, delay, compression, and chorus.

I play it live and I love it. I have other guitars but this one is by far the best. Goes to show that you get what you pay for. If you know what you want the Jackson Custom shop can make it for you.

I paid a fortune for this guitar and I do not regret it. It is by far the best guitar I have ever played. This guitar is in the same league as my Martin. It is the only guitar I have ever played that can do justice to my Soldano amp head because of the incredible prescence and bright play.
