How can Jackson put out a product with Dave's name on it when his deal is with Gibson?

[@nalukeko]

...was about to grab a $200 Dinky just for the fun of it, but then saw where it's made. I prefer Indonesia over China. Both from experience with the quality of each country, and also because of the geo-political and domestic BS that China is pulling...

[@John-ep7tj]

It sucks that Mustaine’s with Gibson so he can’t have a signature with a fender owned company unless he leaves Gibson.

I have one KV1 Mustaine. Damn good. The only thing I didn't like was the pick ups, very low output. I had to replace them for EMG.

[@Andrew_182]

Just to be clear, the Soloist body is also smaller like the Dinky. People like to argue about it, but it is a fact that can be easily confirmed by holding a soloist up next to a strat (or a soloist up with a dinky). Another proof of this is the fact that Jackson molded cases are Dinky/Soloist cases. Both fit into the same case snugly. They are interchangeable between the two models because the only thing that really differentiates them is neck through vs bolt on (soloist necks on average tend to be thicker and can be a couple mm wider in string spacing as well depending).

[@Max-sn5kt]

I can confirm your point, i've had both model, and i've put them on top of each other and they are identical . The reel difference is neck type( bolt on- neck thru)

Jackson did a pro series soloist in fuschia Burst with a hardtail hipshot bridge, i bought one from someone selling it with a hard case for like $700 and man is it absolutely beautiful, so that pro plus model is gonna look absolutely fire

[@LeftiesRAliens]

I LOVE Jackson. I have two but as a leftie, I’m sure you can guess what two I have. Would it kill them to give us at least one new guitar? Beefing everything up, only to keep the same four guitars for lefties. At least give us a new color Jackson. Before anyone says theres no market, that’s BS. Solar can’t keep leftie models in stock. A well run leftie seller would dominate the market.

[@southernpanda33]

Lemme guess: the JS32 DKY and the Rhodes V?

[@southernpanda33]

I’ve given up on buying them. I’m in the process of building my own guitars. With 15 years of woodworking experience, I should be fine.

[@LeftiesRAliens]

@@southernpanda33 yep. I love them, they’re great guitars. I love the necks, the light weight bodies, the fast fret boards. They’re amazing from my type of playing (shred) but I just want some variety. My local guitar center, has a new quilted purple Dinky and it’s breaks my heart that I can’t get one.

[@southernpanda33]

I feel that. I bought a Michael Kelly Les Paul style guitar for the quilted maple top because I can only get boring tops with Gibson thanks to being left handed. That and all the Jacksons that are so nice but I have to re-wire my brain to play them. Seems reasonable.

[@LeftiesRAliens]

@@southernpanda33 some times I kick my myself for not sticking to learning right handed but my parents got my a leftie acoustic after my second lesson and that was a wrap. It’s a harsh world out there for us lefties but we’ve learned to adapt. Hopefully guitar companies see the light one day and see that if they offered more they would sell. They’d probably make even more money from the left handed community.

[@bc454irocz89]

So glad to see top-mounted floyds!! They are so much better than recessed. As for the 1000 series mine stays in tune better than my OFR. Stainless frets omg FINALLY. Absolutely insane new offerings from jackson i love it!! A 7 string JS series V is gonna be awesome.. woulda picked one up If i didnt have my schecter already

[@flapjack413]

Haha, dude. I was literally pausing and looking at pictures of the Dinkys vs Soloists, figuring out what the differences in the models were, right before you explained it for the uninitiated (me, lol). Too funny!

[@paulbarfoot8072]

Love the Jackson models, good coverage thanks dude

[@thegaindane]

I just got my first Jackson guitar today. It's a JS32T King V in ferrari red. I'm really impressed with the quality of a budget guitar like that 🤘

[@clintbrown9622]

7 string budget rhoads and king v's is the absolute best thing released this year, by anyone. I had fully intended on buying one of the 2 but plans changed. Managed to acquire another of my favorite 7 string single cut guitars and both are white and not ESP/LTD. Epiphone Origins MKH LPC 7 string is THE best guitar I have ever played and I own 2 now? What? Amazing.

[@archersomers]

Playing Jackson for over 20 years now. Theyre just perfect imo. Most recent purchase was a usa Jeff Loomis kelly and jeff looming pro series sl7. Beautifully guitars.

[@bluephoenix3865]

Definitely gonna have to get one of those one shots when I start doing KZbin

[@zynosgd9982]

I will say, I was never too into Vs in general, but I tried a cheap Rhoads a couple of weeks ago in a store and, while the guitar itself was decent for the price, the main takeaway for me was that: the Rhoads is actually quite comfortable to play sitting down! I would love to see a demo on the channel one day!

[@jaypeeroe]

I picked up a dinky 7 string for 199 Usd. It plays fantastic - so much better than I expected from a $200 guitar. I'll likely throw some locking gotoh tuners on it and bigger strings moving forward.

[@dadcovey2016]

[@nicolanucciarone3543]

awesome video.... it's so hard nowadays to pick a new guitar... so many brands seem to be releasing killer models, but at stupid prices. kind of hard to decide which model to choose

[@Game4Lord]

Regarding your claims pertaining to pricing. I absolutely agree. Some of Jackson's specs are strange, and their downgrading certain parts to those of lower quality, whilst not lowering the price to reflect that, is definitely dirty. Secondly, seeing an Epiphone Firebird for $1800, is absolute highway robbery. When I was a kid in the mid to late 2000s, an Epiphone was at BEST, $500. That was for a good Les Paul Standard. To think that Epiphones have tripled in price since then is absolutely insane. They're not worth that much, their atrocious build quality, and lack of innovation is evident that they're far too greedy.

[@chromakey84]

Hey Hunter these deep dive guitar lineup videos are excellent. This is how I stay up to date on whatever the hell is going on in guitar land.

[@theenchilada1525]

i been waiting for so long to get my hands on a affordable 7 string rhoads. The moment they showed the JS22. i had to get it which is now on my lap. The grounding issue to the bridge was annoying but i fixed it.

[@joekil1278]

I picked up the Kisser Signature Pro Soloist last year. It plays and feels very good.

[@withinthrall1445]

I just picked up the JS 7 string Rhoads. I decided if it sucked I can change what suck. I’m extremely impressed on my first impressions. I’ve had it for 3 days now, so keep everything with a grain of salt. Mostly I’ve been impressed with the neck and fret work. So far no issues have crept up. Biggest surprise to me are the pickups and tuners. For them being cheap parts, the pickups sound massive, and the tuners don’t feel absolutely worthless. And the nut is cut properly so it’s been holding tuning no issues. It did not come with an appropriate string gauge but that’s the easier fix in the world. I kind of hate the headstock but seeing it in person it doesn’t look nearly as bad. I’ve grown to like how ugly it is. Can’t speak for the King, but so far, the Rhoads is killing it for me.

[@akatsiya]

I got the rhoads too but for me the low B and E are super loose and rattle like crazy. I tried messing with the saddle and truss rod but still rattling

[@withinthrall1445]

@@akatsiya​​sounds to me like an issue at the nut. If you can, try to file down the B and the E string a bit. There’s videos online and it’s not hard to do. Just go slowc and take your time. If it’s not that, maybe it’s the tuners. Hopefully you can figure it out soon!

[@ej1_drew]

not a Jackson player myself but my cousin got their base model dinky 7 string that's like $200 just to try it and i was thoroughly impressed! been recommending Jackson now based on how good their entry model was 😅 keep it up!!!

[@djencode]

I actually ended up picking up the pro plus evertune 7 and it's currently my favourite guitar.

[@Guvnor513]

I put stainless steel frets on my Les Paul Classic. I absolutely love them.

[@GregMerritt-ws8tq]

Yep yep...that was a specific reference.

[@solidus317]

They really have gone insane. $1500+ USD for Chinese and Indo guitars is crazy and so are the people buying them. Not even a decade ago you could find MIJ Jackson for under a grand. I still own a few. Even the worst case scenario inflation calculation isn’t enough to justify these prices. They aren’t even particularly notable for their fit and finish at that price. Buddy has a newer Pro Plus that had all sorts of issues. Get a new Prestige or used E-II for that money. It’ll play better and hold its value much better.

[@samwroblewski748]

It's called inflation

[@solidus317]

@@samwroblewski748 nope it’s called corporate greed. Ive worked in the financial industry for 15 years, currently in investments and securities cost basis. If you know what that is then you’d know that my understanding of inflation is integral to my own survival and greater than most because I see the hard numbers every day across all industries. The pro series has nearly doubled in price over the past few years and Chinese Jackson have gone from about $599 to this new $1500 price point with new branding since 2019 yet the worst case national(U.S) inflation value from 2019 to now is 25%. Weird that in that same time an Ibanez Genesis or Prestige are the same exact price since 2017/2018. (Hint. Below $1500 for MIJ) Try again or go ahead and be a sheep and buy this garbage.

[@solidus317]

@@samwroblewski748 also funny that I mentioned inflation in my initial comment yet you probably TLDR and skipped that but still wanted to put your inaccurate .02 in to defend a company that cares nothing about you. Jackson and these other companies will definitely continue to get away with this sort of thing just off of that behavior alone. Sad.

[@johnbrown8570]

What about that is a bad thing? If a guitar plays and sounds great then idc where they’re made. I’ve had a Gibson USA Les Paul that I absolutely hated. I’ve also had a Japanese fender Stratocaster that didn’t play nearly as good as the Mexican fender I have now. And my squier jazzmaster I had a couple years ago is probably my favorite guitar I’ve ever owned and if I didn’t have to make rent during Covid, I would still have it today. And that was made in china. idk why people are focused on where its made so much. half the time they dont know what theyre talking about.

[@solidus317]

@@johnbrown8570​​⁠literally another person not reading but yet still a reply. I wrote what’s bad when I stated that there’s multiple personal examples of these guitars NOT having the qualities expected of a $1500 guitar. I’ve owned/have friends that owned and interacted with these things. I’m not saying a Chinese guitar can’t be decent(I have 2 EMG and Floyd 1000 equipped Charvel Desolations from the early 2010s that are made in China that are fantastic for the $500 they went for new but they are in no way equal to guitars that went for more money from that time like a Schecter Hellraiser series, which I own 3 as well. Now they’ve exceeded them in price) but I’m saying at the labor rates that we know that’s typical of these factories and the lack of detail that fender has had over the last few years across the board that $1500 is insane. You proved that point yourself when you stated a MIJ Fender was disappointing. You think on average(as in ignoring the rare well setup unicorn example) the cheaper to manufacture with lesser cost materials Chinese ones will be better? The fact that people use Gibson as a measuring stick of quality/justification says a lot about out the state of the guitar economy and validates further why I’m passionate about not accepting this from Fender. That’s how Gibson got away with being overpriced in the first place. People accepting low quality just to have that name on the headstock or using as that as a reason why they still overpaid for something else that was just a less bad. Both can still be overpriced. Either way, like I said in my other reply that looks like got deleted, get whatever you want. It’s your money. I’m just saying we are all voting with our wallet and we can’t complain that things are overpriced if we are lining up to overpay and accept inferior products for insane markups when there’s still better alternatives out there. I currently own over 40 guitars from various makes and countries of manufacture. From the cheap Charvels I mentioned all the way up to my Ibanez J Custom and USA PRS Custom 24 10 Top. I’m not saying cheaply made guitars don’t have a place. They do, just like expensive guitars do. I have a few and I own enough guitars and have owned many more over the years to say that I’m not completely talking smack for no reason. Over paying for them at all levels is just unwise.

[@Erik.Fernandez__]

Jackson fanboy here. I like that they’re catching up with the market (spoiler alert: your average player DOESN’T need SS frets or luminlays but that’s what they want, so they need to deliver), but it took a frustratingly long time. I know the average modern player is into the offsets and super-strats, so I know that’s why the Dinky and Soloist gets the most love, but for me I believe in V supremacy and I want to see these updated specs brought to the pointy models. I also have a dealer exclusive Concept Series RR (before the Concept series was official launched) and it has the OFR on it. I was happy to see that stay on the official launch, but now I’ve become disappointed to see it removed from current Concept models. It’s still a very grey area for me (I lean happy, but still bummed at lack of love for the pointy’s). I’m waiting to see what else comes out, but no I don’t want the Mike Stringer model.

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Honestly, I absolutely would get a baritone Surfcaster.

[@Sinista-Beatz]

I see a Cort in there (CorTek Build) Can you guess which one?

[@JohnWiku]

Jackson has gone insane, but so have I with this WAITING for your HB baritone sig to drop on the store. It was supposed to be released before Christmas, did you mean Christmas 2024? 😂😂😂

[@dezsodebreceni4829]

Even Gojira fans tend to forget about him but Christian Andreu is also a great Jackson artist! Yeah Gojira is basically "The Duplantier Brothers and co." but Andreu is solid as hell

[@RICKYARENBURG]

Any left handers?

[@BTEguitardude]

Definitely waiting for the baritone surfcasters, lol It's weird, I know Agu has never really been into Ibanez, but I was always basically only into Ibanez, idk why. I've always known Jackson and Schecter to be good, but just never vibed with them. But over the last couple years with sig guitars like Aaron Marshall/John Browne, and Mike Stringer/Josh Smith. And I look at Ibanez guitars, and of course they're nice, but it's got me thinking. "Why did I think these guitars were so amazing?" I'm strictly speaking Aesthetic wise. Quality wise they are of course amazing. But yeah, cant wait to see the stuff that comes out!

Objects not attached to the surface of the earth (water in a sink going down a drain) will create a vortex going the opposite direction. So in the Northern hemisphere, it moves clockwise. In the Southern hemisphere, it moves counter clockwise. On the equator, water goes straight down.

I swapped out a Floyd original for a Floyd 1000 on my ESP just to see if there really was a difference and it’s been a year, nothing really changed 🤷‍♀️

[@carnovector6396]

All i ever asked from jackson was an archtop reverse headstock like the Christian olde wolbers

[@tankdarla637]

dinky and soloist same size, Jackson is by far is my choice, could care less about ss frets , i actually kinda prefer whatever Jackson has always used. Thrilled you seem to kind of like Jackson now. Rock on buddy!

[@thesamaffliction1572]

Credit to Jackson the SL27 EX looks like Sean from Sleeps went to Charvel and said hey can I have my sig with a floyd for the studio? And Jackson said “Hold my Beer”

[@TheSpineSplitter1990]

Still waiting for a 1 pickup 1 volume Jackson Kelly, Warrior and King V, can be pro or js series as long as the cost is decent.

[@ManuSDP]

JS series Jackson is by far the best budget guitars out there. Jackson da GOAT

[@juancarvajal4180]

Guys buy the Marty Friedman MF1, that guitar is insane , the pickups are amazing and the price is perfect

[@YEABREAD]

I'll tell you what if either that IV Barione or the Lee Malia Surfcaster comes out, I'll finally buy my first Jackson

[@robbyreed7844]
