Brand New BlackJack
I ordered this guitar 4 months ago to have an extra guitar set up at a demo studio where I produce a lot of demos.
3 weeks before it's arrival which was 3 days ago I found out my dentist bill was going to exceed 11k.
Like some at first it was different than a pad but soon found it help my playing by freeing up my hands.
However I have to make a 5000.00 down payment to the dentist so a second personal guitar isn't in the cards right now.
I don't think this guitar needs much hype after the great reviews, as it's tuning is as good as it gets and you can hear the tone on the website which is very accurate.
The only thing that needs to be said is Jackson has upgraded this guitar recently and I O K'd the extra money for the upgrades when they inform me, so it's a full house model with the upgraded good (non ping) tuners
3and4.
The only other thing that might not have been said about this guitar is the just how exacting and positive the knees and pedals are. I'm extremely picky. I'm sure because of demand these guitar will go up and up in price.
Comes with a western tolex Thomas case and looks identical to the website BlackJack so I didn't think I needed to take pics.
here's a link to see and here the details. It cost 1800 and if you want one my wait was 4 months.
I'll take 1725.00 plus shipping for one with no wait and I'll send pics if someone needs to see it's a 3 day old flawless guitar, AGAIN IT'S identical the site
heres a couple of links.

Hey Bill, it's not that bad. I waited with my son in emergency for 7 hours (with a sprained toe) before giving up and going home. He didn't die, but now he has a limp. I'm sort of kidding, but I'm not.
Anyway, back to the Blackjack......it is the cure for ailing tone.

You can check out what mine sounds like by clicking on the youtube link in my signature. Ignore the excessive reverb settings.

Hey Guys,
Thanks I had to play last night.
A forum member emailed right away and wanted pictures and first shot.
My camera is acting up, so as soon as I get pictures to the other guy I will know where we stand, however I'm in a suburb of Austin and not meeting distant with the cost of gas, but the shipping will not be like a D-10 cost or SD10.
I'll let you guys know, just bare with me, like I said my camera is acting funny.
Thanks,
Randy |

I'm going to see the dentist and see if I have to come up with the total down payment amount, if I don't then I will hang on to the guitar(It's doubtful but I'm going to try).
So I don't want to close, I'm being hopeful, but I most likely will have to sell.
I will know Tuesday afternoon.
I'm sorry but I can't meet someone.
The guitar is without a doubt as advertised:copy/paste from the Jackson site below
Glossy black finish, lightweight, that signature sound, accurate tuning and great pedal action (superior to the Professional Series and SuperPro). Incorporates Variable Radius pulls. Each string is capable of raising and/or lowering. We believe it’s the best value professional guitar on the planet. |
