Absolutely love the warrior. I used to hate the close position of the volume knob to the bridge pickup, but adjusting to it helped me realize I was wasting a lot of motion moving my right hand too much when playing. I've seen a lot of custom shop warriors where they deliberately move the knobs back, so I don't think we're the first people to feel that way about the stock knob placement.

[@JMTrucking1417]

I really dig the way it sits in the lap . The kill switch is a cool new toy.

I think the tuners are really good! Just because they're jackson branded doesn't mean they're bad. I get what you're saying about the gig bag, but also my Kelly didn't come with anything, so I thought it was cool they included something. Yeah, no defense on the hipshot though lol.

[@Zwidawurzn]

Great looking guitar fur sure! I bought a baritone 7-string LTD and it's totally fine to play, best 7-string i ever had. Bendings are probably a bit harder than with "normal" scale but it's fine for me, works as my everyday guitar. The only thing which bothers me is that most wound strings are a bit short for it, with some D'Addario sets i run out of the wound part before i reach the tuner.

[@TaylorDanley]

I think if you were using strings with the same tension on baritone vs 25.5" (or whatever scale), the bending would feel the same.. It's more like you can get away with thinner strings on a baritone because of the increased length. Which makes a lot of sense for super low tunings, because having an .80 on the low end is a little TOO chungus

[@tippss3332]

Jackson!!!!! Just killing it!!!!!

[@Jeeky88]

they should make the kill switch pressure sensitive like a playstation controller, that way you could do volume swells as well to really control the instrument better than just on/off.

[@cookwithbacon]

We need more Xiphos and Warriors available on the market. Not just baritones but standard models and 7 string models.

[@14fluffies]

I personally love the Warrior shape because I'm a long time Revocation fan and Dave Davidson is a monster. Although I kinda don't see the appeal of a baritone 6 when you get a 7 string. Maybe that's just me though. I personally don't believe in less is more when it comes to an instrument's range (I play 6 string bass exclusively in any project I participate in). Still trying to get the guitar player in my band to try a guitar with a longer scale length, but I can't get him to budge since he has a very strong distaste for baritone guitars and drop tuning as a whole. He just doesn't believe in playing in anything other than standard tuning.

[@TaylorDanley]

Yeah, Dave really has a lot to do with it coming back into the zeitgeist IMO. Incredible band, and player. I didn't think the baritone adjustment was that bad on this guitar. Probably because Jackson has a really good neck profile, but I get the distaste for baritones as someone with small hands.

Yeah it's definitely a personal preference. I really like them, but I like the look of a well worn guitar, and flat paint starts to do that pretty quickly. Also, side note, but all the flat guitars I've had with painted necks end up getting the smoothest neck after a while.
