YAY Jackson disappoints again. Still waiting on the 7 string model(s)...

If I can get a neckthru kelly for under a grand, I'd be pretty excited.

troyguitar · 06-13-2009, 02:28 AM

It will be more like $1500

LOL in the words of dave mustaine "floyds are for those who cant solo..." obviously its a unfair statement, many great guitarists used floyds... but hardtails are just as metal as floyds =P c'mon... a hardtail KV5 would be K-I-L-L-E-R !

example:

D-EJ915 · 06-13-2009, 09:14 AM

the stop bar looks so wrong on that guitar

kherman · 06-13-2009, 09:35 AM

The Soloist looks real nice.

And I prefer H/H over S/S/H

But, agreed, the price is really getting up there.
When I finally have my Carvin ST300 built this year, it's not going to cost much more.

Koshchei · 06-13-2009, 11:36 AM

The KV5 is a long time coming. Pity it has the cheapo Chinese Floyd.

troyguitar · 06-13-2009, 03:12 PM

Those Floyds are made in Korea and they are actually very nice. I bet most people would never be able to tell the difference.

That was the impression I got, also.

Only thing I've seen said was to make sure when you get a guitar with one is to
pull it out of the guitar and make sure there's no filings or anything else that could cause premature knife edge wear.

Esp Griffyn · 06-14-2009, 05:59 AM

I'm unimpressed.

Bekanor · 06-15-2009, 10:29 AM

Yay slightly more affordable overpriced guitars.

Make an import mahogany soloist and I'll give a shit, until then I don't care. The best thing my KV2 ever did for me was get me a Universe in a trade.

I don't wanna' be a dick but that's the last guy I'd listen to in regards to good soloing.

_velkan · 06-15-2009, 11:59 AM

when i uploaded the hetfield pic it was not to say that he is a good soloist... it was just to show how a classic hardtail KV which i would love to have =)

edit: guess i'm the only one excited about the new neck-thru japanese models lol, i just dont understand why some people are so rude... Sorry if i offended someone by creating this topic. Peace!

Inazone · 06-15-2009, 03:17 PM

They're finally giving the rest of the world the models that have been available in Japan (as "Jackson Stars") for years. It appears that none of Fender's subsidiaries will be at NAMM this summer, so who knows when they'll announce any other new models? They seem to be introducing new stuff seemingly at random, like the SLS3 and the cheapies with new finishes and sharkfins.

As for prices, most "serious" dealers in the US aren't going to charge anywhere near list price. If Fender doesn't bring its prices back to reality, dealers will probably have to get creative on how to push their inventory.

sorry dude, i meant fixed bridge with string-thru! sometimes i mix up terms!! tremol-no its cool but i'm a fixed bridge guy =P

Panterica · 06-15-2009, 04:24 PM

^
that can look cool, like that ESP V
but usually with V's they make the ferrules line up weird and it irks the ....s outta me

but yeah, i get what your saying, and no you're not the only one stoked for em
i usually get the more high end expensive axes for recording and their not-so expensive mid level brothers for tours
ex: ESP Horizon for recording, LTD MH-1000 for live gigs
so i'll prolly end up with a KV2 for the studio and one of these for live gigs

_velkan · 06-15-2009, 05:58 PM

i just recieve a e-mail from a Jackson guy replying to some questions of mine... i asked him if the KV5T was in the works and he said no, that there is no such plans for the future... and i also asked him if the white finish KV5FR would have a matching headstock (like the RR5's) and he said no, that would be plain black... kinda boring IMHO, i love matching headstocks =/

I was talking about your Mustaine quote.

I don't really see how it's rude to voice your opinion though. I'm sure nobody is offended by your post, many probably are by the shonky way in which FMIC are running Jackson these days, these sorts of models should have been around sooner, at least at the same time that Schecter started killing the import market. It just bugs me when guitar companies don't ever really try anything new to meet fresh market demand, just chucking more and more of the same shit out and musicians just have to like it (hai PRS, would it kill you to make a neck through?).

hm, i see, my bad then...

"these sorts of models should have been around sooner" i totally agree! and i understand now why people are not so impressed... a 7string KV would be a real step up! but for me, as an european, these news are great! because a american KV costs 2000euros plus... these ones are going to cost around 1000... or so i hope! and i've always want to have a KV, i guess its my favorite shape guitar and i'm a Jackson fan...

cheers!

I had a KV2 for a little while. Bought it new at great expense.

Wasn't really all that great to be honest, I mean it was a well made good playing guitar but it just didn't sound that great. After trying 3 different sets of pickups it eventually sat under my bed until I traded it for my Universe which I love to wee lil bits.

Yeah, the Ping Floyd is pretty damn good, at least from the two I've played.
