I think my intention was severely misunderstood on that one
Pickup rings are ugly and useless.
Yes. Yes it was. lol

It's getting hard to find USA Selects on the used market, they're getting price gouged like crazy. New USAs are semi-custom only, so there's been essentially no upper tier production line from Jackson/Charvel for years.Which is exactly what I'd do. The MIJs would need to be $600-$700 cheaper for me to go that route. USAs have traditionally been the absolute best and also hold the highest value.

MJ series is the new high end production tier. The only thing that bugs me is the lack of real mother of pearl inlays at that price, but it's not really the end of the world. If the build quality is there, then I'd be happy to get one if they release some more finishes later.

Jackson haven't really had many cool/interesting finishes for years IMO. Which is quite sad. And look on their website : the USA series models only come in black or in white. If you're a clueless guy who just likes Jackson guitars and wants a serious upgrade, and you've seen pictures of guys swinging these cool guitars with cool finishes, and all you can find is black or white... that doesn't send a good message, does it?
Yeah, but also the USA Select Series doesn't actually exist other than as base models for Custom Selects. Limited finishes there are kind of irrelevant.Jackson haven't really had many cool/interesting finishes for years IMO. Which is quite sad.

Tuxedo Soloists are just so classic. It's like the Les Paul Custom of super-strats.
I think it's good that the only real gripes are finish options.
Definitely a classic for my generation. Kids I went to school with didn't dream of '59 Les Pauls. For metal loving '80s/early '90s kids, the black Jackson Soloist USA was the Alpha!
So it's been a few months...anyone played one yet? Hoping to hear if the price is reflecting the quality on these.

FUCKThis one needs to be posted again.
