Trash to Thrash #44 - Crackle AND Splatter! (Jackson JSX94 Concept)

[@pontustraas95]

Did EMG send you pickups with the old logo?🤔

[@Murf_Workshop]

The way that light blue splatter stands out on that dark crackle contrast is too good, got color and hardware choice, definitely a kick ass build

[@Dan_Ranger]

Looks great! To note, the 85 is EMG’s highest output pickup. It’s been my go to bridge pickup since 1985. The Alnico just makes it warmer. Great video and work as always 🤘🏼💪

[@FenderMarko47]

You read my comment and took note!! Well done sir, your finish will be hugely superior as a result

[@nblax41]

I have a JDR-94, the HSH 24 fret model. Best neck I've ever played, installed a J50-BC and a JE-1000 in it and an OFR. Love it.

[@smeemusic]

I can't believe it's still listed. I knew for sure it would be gone when I clicked the link.

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

I think this my favorite finish you've done to date.

[@drej1714]

A friend of mine hand painted my 91 Charvel Predator with acrylic paint. I used 4 full cans of clear to protect the paint.

[@TheStrykerProject]

LOVE that splatter over (subtle) crackle! The light(er) blue over the black/navy is definitely popping, and the splatter gives the guitar a 'spacey' look, which is really cool.

[@farikomike524]

I still have a JSX 94 that I bought new in 95. It's the one I would save from a fire first 👍

[@timjenkins502]

Sick paint job!!! What about doing a crackle over top of a splatter?? Sonthat the crackle exposes some of the splater That could look interesting!

[@francescobarbaro7114]

totally agree, especially if it's a neon splatter! Or maybe some lava crackle with "firey" splatter, like if earth cracks open...

[@ricardoespindola6161]

Love the color, Mark.

[@patroche550]

Been watching these trash to thrash videos since day 1 and man you have grown and gotten so creative with all these paint jobs and custom builds. Keep working man!!

[@pistolpete7280]

I genuinely look forward to watching this show

[@JROfDoom]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE, if I wasn't so stuck on my green obsession, this would be amazing

[@brandonsmalleyorblspinc689]

You're killing it Mark truly outdid yourself on this One! Amazing looking craftsmanship

[@davidebosio384]

Wooooow, AMAZING! I've the same Guitar from the 90' "my very first Guitar" taken when I was 14 y.o. Thank you so much, now I already have an idea on how to revive it!!!😉 GRATZ FOR THE CHANNEL!

[@dougbeck5102]

Wow!!! Great color combo and paint effects! As always, excellent job, Mark!

[@rbenon]

This build tuned out really really awesome!!! Cheers from Brazil!!! 🇧🇷

[@nokuse]

That's a beautiful paint job! great idea and awesome colors.

[@michaelmetal71]

wow Can’t believe someone hasn’t bought this guitar yet just looked at it on his website and only $1400 that is an absolute steal, considering something like that from the Jackson custom shop will cost you 2-3 times that price keep up the great work bro rock on 🤘🏻

[@tremdoctor007]

I think you are the raffle can CHAMPION! Your finishes are gorgeous! ✊

[@AlaskaPalms]

I recommend trying Isopropyl alcohol to remove any sticker residue. Eats right through it and super fast drying.

[@Murf_Workshop]

I second this too, the isopropyl alcohol weakens adhesive, dirt, dust, and oil. Plus it evaporates quick. It's my go too for cleaning FR and Ibanez bridges or about any bridge and hardware.

[@williamdon3442]

Wow I didn’t expect much but after the polish it popped out Good job dude one day I hope to purchase one of your guitars

[@BaldPerspective]

Very nice guitar. You doing diff paint-jobs is why I watch your stuff; I'm not impressed seeing the trillionth friggin' red/black/white Frankenstrat copy. Really looking forward to the next episode!

[@Chingu-nm6wp]

Looks absolutely cool

[@beotheguitarist]

Came out great. I have one of the original Jackson JDR-24 in blue. It's so hard to find that I wouldn't sell it because I'll never be able to get it again in fantastic condition.

[@fiveisprime]

I thought Gotoh made the high end Floyd Rose hardware - either way, the Gotohs are definitely top notch. Amazing work on the paint and that wiring job is so damn clean. I really appreciate how much care you put into the details of these builds!

[@shredaintdead9323]

This is soooo sick! I might have to get a crackle blood splatter signature in the very near future dude!!!

[@wacky1srpranksalott136]

Your a true master craftsman, shredder. Love the videos.

[@GuitarGuts]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

[@MarkGray1970]

It looks awesome! That first polished shot was sick looking!

[@warligerdan9492]

That guitar does look incredible. The only thing I’m curious about is how would the finish look using red and orange under the crackle and some yellow-orange splatter? Like “liquid hot magma?” Keep up the amazing work, good sir, and have a great day.

[@kdoe85]

Those Thomann pads also work great for fret buffing after a level. They go up to 12000 grit. Frets are mirrors afterwards.

[@wuzimu4560]

this is some seriously good content. you deserve more views

[@randellpillion3819]

Nice vid keep up the good work looks amazing

[@michaelihitsague3955]

Awesome finish job to have a flat surface!

[@vincevandergraff1508]

yet again, crazy good rebuild on this one too. watching your videos is pretty inspiring, ironically because i have 4 project guitars for 2 years and have barely even started on only one. i will be contacting you shortly. by the way, awesome work. i look forward to having you rebuild and mod some of mine.

[@ZorkusYT]

best paint and guitar so far

[@stabbyninja]

Killer paint job and the pickups look great.

[@vallehexed]

This is looking gdamn sick! Great Job Man

[@toddstewart9922]

Very nice! Great attention to detail.

[@Zombie_13x33]

Sweet guitar. I like the white pickups. I'm building an explorer kit and repainting 2 other guitars. Neon yellow js22 and a red with black crackle glarry strat. I also have a modded js34q hss rout with just an emg 81. Floyd rose with brass l block. Have a white king v js32 with the black bevels and an ibanez that's got led mods lol.

[@zebradonkeys4563]

looks amazing man! keep it up i love the videos

[@nafis6668]

Man, love your playing 😍

[@gabrielcarpenter6770]

wow that is an epic finish for Jackson axe!!! also that LTD explorer actually really like that sanded finished... hahaha got that used looked!!!

[@jamesmartin492]

Nice palm muting, sweep picking, and sequencing scales. I recently bought a explorer diy build kit. Going to try some crackle painting on it. Just wondering what is a good gloss for it? Im probably doing a purple 2x rustoleum primer paint and motana crackle. Sanding techniques or any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated. I like a bigger crackle and not so much smaller crackle effect.

[@agony664]

Another badass rebuilt!

[@TipuTheDrivingTherapist]

Looks absolutely stunning, how would it look in orange with black crackle and a golden floyd rose and one of the horns cut of?🤔

[@scottdahlberg4890]

Now that is a work of art. Great job, if you want a hotter pickup, try the EMG 81X series. I have some X series pickups and boy they are hotter and very clear.

[@bombfather]

your work and art is amazing. this is my 4th video I'm watching and cant stop. you should do basses too =)

[@AngryShellback]

Love that Sick paint... Great video.

[@EC-ol8nz]

Paint job on point!

[@CrushingAxes]

Mannn...nice! Love Jacksons and Charvels! Crackle and Splatter are great with those guitars!

[@KindaKaon]

Splatter Crackle sounds absolutely killer man - Hype!

[@jeffgemm5080]

Wow… that paint job is sick!!

[@barryprosser1370]

This guitar is so beautiful man. Great work as always. I am not a Floyd fan lol. String through or hard tail for this guy.

[@oldschool97224]

Pretty rad. Gold hardware over those colors would've been cool too. Maybe orange splatter over the blue/black crackle? Using the lighter blue as the base coat might make the crackle pop more (especially if using orange splatter or something). Supercawesome guitar though.

[@stazrulez]

dude that thing is awesome. you should get an ec1000 do the equiv of a gold top, so like white or gold w/ crackle and take whichever color that is not used and splatter it w/ that so like, gold w/ crackle and white splatter or white w/ crackle and gold splatter, that would be a modern touch on a classic paint set up

[@guitarsehole]

Looks amazing! But I definitely would've made sure that cavity was big enough to allow for pulling the trem back before painting. It's only a half functional tremolo now.

[@mnmstoy5]

Great Guitar playing !!!

[@place_desjardins]

Looks nice. I remember seeing brand new guitars with splatter paint and crackle in the 80s and 90s... not popular, well-known, brand-name guitars. But, I could feel the texture of the crackle or the splatter on the body, unlike your paint job where you leveled everything with clear coat layers.

[@TheCadegoodspeed45]

DUUUUUDE. Looks killer!

[@derrickharmon7980]

My first guitar was a black jx10 but with the sc headstock they do with 24 frets n three seymour duncan hot rails 🚈🔥

[@andreyvanakoff9412]

Masterpiece! Perfect job!:)

[@randydison4274]

Awesome great work!!

[@Mr_Wilson_1967]

If you use Floyd Rose string lock screws on the Gotoh 1996 they fit better as they are shorter then the Gotoh. I put the Gotoh 1996 on my Dinky and swapped the screws with know problem.

[@sicmonic]

Cool man I definitely dig it

[@krypticcoil9540]

Ok so you put a crackle paint job on a Jackson. Due to the colors that you used it feels celestial to me. So I dub this build as the Celestial Crackson Splatter. Great job, Mark! It looks AMAZING! Everything was a nice touch!!!!

[@chrismarrow9639]

Maybe try a hydro dipped guitar with crackle , It might work 🤔 .

[@citizenphaid1880]

I have this very guitar but in blue and unfortunately it has a dent in the front by the pickup. Is this sought of damage to the paint and wood repairable?

[@Traski]

I had a 1996T on one of my guitars years ago and compared to an original german made one - the push-in tremolo arm is much better vs. the standard threaded one, which overtime will most likely loosen up. Think the german company also make the 1500 series, which has that same feature, as 1996T.

[@countrygrandpa]

Beautiful

[@rayzerbone4197]

Nice job

[@grizzlee1093]

Love it!!!!

[@nuclertrauma]

good job man

[@valgrathblak]

Amazing work! Some splatter over the logo and some under the logo maybe would make it look 3D.

[@TimBeale-te7ej]

Awesome!!!

[@diegojuarez4469]

amazing!

[@sonofhorror1995]

White FU-tone bridge pieces would be absolutely sick on this build.

[@rikjones5924]

A orange/ red bullseye (the red is crackled?

[@wangota]

That’s a really bitchin build Mark!

[@floridianthrasher5426]

When are the dime rebuilds coming?

[@_patrikjay_]

Killer guitar, would have loved a skootch more fine splatter up near the horns, but great job on a Now great guitar

[@thesinwagin]

Why didnt you ever show the back of the body or headstock when finished? Nothing in the video or pictures in the listing..

[@pistolpete7280]

+1 to Gotoh 1996T. I have used them a few times

[@PFDarkside]

Have you ever painted EMGs? Could be a cool look.

[@allendean9807]

Crackle be splatter- Splackle!!

[@BrandonBlatchford]

What kind of stand is that in your spray booth?

[@brandonsmalleyorblspinc689]

Damnit I need it!

[@13Gozz13]

I have a jdr94. It's all torn apart. I tore it apart and havent touched it in years

[@matthewearl9824]

I would have never ruined this legendary very rare guitar...

[@PainterDans]

Is it true they only made 600 of these ?

[@jrodninja081]

It's a shame that you didn't test fit the tremolo before you painted the body... Would have been nice if you routed the cavity out so the tremolo had the full range of movement.

[@neto9217]

I typically don't use Floyd Rose. I much prefer the Ibanez Edge. Much better design in my opinion and the fact that it has replaceable knife edges gives me peace of mind.

[@BA99253]

FR purist here nothing beats the OFR but I’d def like to check out the Gotoh I wonder how they stack up against say the 1000 series.

[@fredericadda]

I plan to replace a Floyd Rose special by a Gotoh GE 1996T on my Fender HM Strat. From what I've heard until now the Gotoh is better than the 1000. I will be sure to test that because I have an OFR and a FR1000 on other guitars.

[@dethsyndrome]

Wouldn't dipping the body in clear be easier?

[@Metalhead2]

you know Mark this one piece of your shop that I don’t really like that much like the crackle and the splatter theirs just too much going on it still does look cool to little bit too much going on but anyways man keep up the good work love the constant love the show you’re an awesome builder

[@MrNickRowe]

What preamp are you using?

[@guitarrilho502]

The gotohs are very popular here in Brasil

[@michaelmarquis1824]

I'd love to have a olp guitar I have done up.
