Members maltomario Posted March 5, 2011 Members Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hey guys haven't been active here on forums much lately but wanted to share some good news - after almost 1 year of waiting, my custom shop jackson arrived. Its based on a Jackson SL2H, but with reverse headstock, white binding (not ivoroid), JB/'59 pups, snow white paint w/ silver+white ghost flames on body and headstock. Kinda has that bucket head vibe going on. just need to find a red arcade button to use as a kill switch. I opened the case to see that Mike Shannon and Pablo Santana both signed the CoA. In addition, Dan Lawrence (who painted the guitar) signed the back of guitar by the control cavity. Pretty awesome surprise! Some pics for my friends: WGF and her twin, BGF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members maltomario Posted March 5, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2011 dammit mario, you retired BEFORE you got the chance to play that onstage? ...I would have loved to see that under stage lighting... yeah i know, right? When I ordered it, I was still happily playing in the band and didn't even consider that I would retire. Dealing with untrustworthy venue owners, flakey musicians, band drama, drunks and general scumbags in bars kinda took all the wind out of my sails. Might play out again someday, but I will be setting my sights much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members maltomario Posted March 5, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2011 ridiculously freakin' cool~ congratulations! seriously, that's amazing. Thanks GD! thats a tremendous compliment! I tell you what though, this paint job is incredibly difficult to photograph. Pics do not really do it justice. Dan does some nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first CS jackson, so I didn't know what to expect. I've heard stories of people waiting 2yrs+ for their CS orders.. I got lucky.. Definitely worth the wait.
