Jackson fanbois: Convince me in this thread!

I've been on the fence about a new seven for like two months now. So far, Ibbys have the nod over anything else.

However, I really like Mike's Jackson, and the overall Division tone. Thus, convince me, bitches!

Play a DK-2M then an Ibanez and you'll know why you should get the jackson. I played one a few weeks ago at Guitar Center and it totally blew me away, it sounded godlike and played like butter.

Except he wants a seven, and the DK-2M isn't a seven.

If you like EMGs, the COW7 is a great guitar for the money. Where else are you going to find an ebony fretboard and a mahogany body, short of a custom shop order? Plus, Jackson's fretwork is just superb. You played my Stars Soloist, so you know what the guitar is going to feel like in general.

I'd own one if I didn't have the KxK endorsement. Mike would own one if he wasn't waiting around for me to sell him the Stars.

What difference does that make? Jacksons are just way better anyway.


This is of course my opinion and if you like the bland Ibanez tone good for you.

Well-timed edit. I wouldn't say Ibanez guitars sound "bland," per se, just very balanced. But "better" is one of those words that's kind of objective, when we're talking subjective here.

Chris, are you talking production or custom shop? Even I, a guy who loves his UV, would have a hard time believing that a Jackson CS 7 would NOT walk all over my PWH, all else equal.

No offense meant to the 207 dude, it's a nice guitar (I owned one) but the Ibanez is hardly "bland" compared to it.

I'm looking to spend around $1500 max, so I think a CS is out of the question. I wish a place around here stocked EBMMs, because I'd love to try one out. The only ones I ever see are sixes.
