    3. Modern era Corvettes

    4. 70 Camaro with the split bumpers

    5. Nissan Skyline

    6. Lamborghini Gallardo

    7. 70 Chevelle SS

    8. 61 Impala ss

  2. Personally, I don't care for the 81 in the neck. I ran an 81/81 combo in a strat, and they sound too similar. Not much distinction at all between the pickups, so I put an 85 in the neck, and I roll the volume back a bit with it. Also, I tried an 85 bridge and 81 neck one of my Les Paul's before, the 85 sounds great in the bridge, but again, the 81 just didn't sound right to me in the neck. I haven't tried a 60 yet so no comment on that one, I'll probably use one of those in the neck of that LP. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

  3. What are Jackson necks like. The RR24 is what I am looking for and I want to know what the neck is like. No stores have any around here that I know off. Thin neck thick neck fast flat etc.


    Thanks

     

    When you get into the the thru neck guitars, you'll find the the necks are different than their bolt on guitars. They are thicker, much like a Les Paul, but they still have the compound radius's and jumbo frets. On their american guitars, and on some japanese models, they have ebony fretboards, which to my touch, feels much silkier than rosewood. All in all, they are very, very comfortable, with the speed you would expect that has made these necks famous in the 80's shred era and made Jackson a household name.

  4. My theory is its the overall tone that made these super strats so popular. When you put a humbucker in an alder body strat, it just thickens things up so nice. Its hard for me to explain but you can acheive a 'soaring' sound that's so perfect for shred that you sometimes can't get from other guitars. Maximum tone and maximum playability are the keys to a great super strat.
