I jumped on the $495 Jackson RR24 that usually goes for $1100, many thanks to The Rossness for posting that in the Great Deals thread.
They sent me a black one. Not sure why they did that, I didn't even know they had the maple fretboard model in black but they aren't getting it back, this thing is MINE now. Setup is outstanding, ridiculously low action with no buzz anywhere. Also, it doesn't fit on any of my guitar stands so I could only take pics of it in the case. You'll have to keep it in the case or on a wall hanger.
Sounds brutal as hell even with the 9's flopping around, how the {censored} does anybody play with these things? Gonna go restring and set it up with 10's and play it till my fingers or ears start bleeding, whichever happens last.
