New Jacksons at Musikmesse 2012

Mille Phobia King V

Adrian Smith SDX (yes that's an X series Adrian Smith model folks).

eaeolian · 03-22-2012, 11:08 AM

Europe-only. Damn.

BigBaldIan · 03-22-2012, 11:11 AM

The SDX especially looks like it's ripe for the hot-rodding market. Restricting it to Europe only seems a bit odd to me.

Edit: Listening to the video again, it looks like the Phobia is only going to be limited to Europe.

Don Vito · 03-22-2012, 11:14 AM

Love that V.

sell2792 · 03-22-2012, 11:36 AM

....ing awesome. Hopefully they come to the US soon.

Goatchrist · 03-22-2012, 11:55 AM

Dig Mille's guitar!
But don't they have any Jackson 8 string guitars at the Messe?!

Andromalia · 03-23-2012, 01:47 AM

I don't really get the point of a signature guitar without the pickups the artist use but, well...
The Mille is nice.

Ironbird · 03-23-2012, 02:06 AM

Haha, you said it CapinCripes! Awesome to see him get the recognition he deserves.

Pleasure To Kill was the first metal tape I ever put my ears to (I was 8 or 9 at the time - maybe younger) and that was it. I knew that was what I wanted to play!

elrrek · 03-23-2012, 03:17 AM

.... YES! .... YES!!!! ADRIAN SMITH IMPORT MODEL!!!!!!!

LOL! Win for Europe.

mat091285 · 03-23-2012, 03:52 AM

seriously thinking to order the Phobia V. Anyone know which webshop deals with international purchases?

Sikor · 03-23-2012, 09:01 AM

Saw them at Musikmesse 2 days ago.

Here are some photos:

So, I guess that I am the only one that hates Jackson headstocks reversed. The heavy offset of that headstock just doesn't translate backward for me. Love the shape, just not reversed.

No, you're not the only one, I don't like Jackson's headstock reversed either. I also dislike the non-recessed Floyd's.

I like the reverse headstock on some guitars. They can be a nice change up. But on some guitars they look goofy. Mille's V looks decent with it.

Non-recessed floyd's are a deal breaker for me. They are the main reason I never bought any of the Charvel Pro-Mods(besides the hardtail wildcard)

Funny, they're a deal-maker for me, but I'm old. It's nice to see them, though, since there are a million guitars with recessed Floyds out there...

I'm fairly old too, my main guitar is a Charvel Model 5FX which does have a top mount Floyd, but it does have a pull up route. I just feel limited with them.

77zark77 · 03-23-2012, 01:58 PM

HSS config wins !

ilovefinnish · 03-24-2012, 02:53 PM

i kinda dig the black inlays.

Louis Cypher · 03-27-2012, 01:39 AM

The Adrian Smith & the Phobia will both apparently be £430 UK RRP. So would be surprised if you pay more than £380 for it

I love the Adrian Smith Jackson, and this one, swapping out the floyd special for an OFR and the pick ups and thats a hell of a guitar for the money....

That Adrian Smith looks killer!

VegasHouse · 07-19-2012, 05:37 PM

Just got my Jackson Adrian Smith SDX and its easily my new favorite guitar! It has the wide San Dimas style neck which is great and I love the fact that the floyd is non-recessed (dont need to block it). It came set-up better than any guitar I have ever purchases new. When Adrian says(in the video) he can take them right out of the box and play them he is not kidding. Also the humbucker looks and sounds just like the Dimarzio Super Distortion pickup, no need to change that out. Overall I could not be happier with my purchase

groverj3 · 07-19-2012, 05:57 PM

I'm pleasantly surprised by how much of the German I understood. I never use it, and therefore I speak it at a mentally retarded 3 year old level. However, I can translate pretty well

Andromalia · 07-21-2012, 04:57 AM

Thomann sells them at 420€ that's a downright killer price if the series is not plagued by bad QA.
The Mille is 666€
