| I just saw on the Jackson Steel site that they are trying for a early April date for production. They are waiting on the patent attorneys. |

I had an interesting conversation with David Jackson almost a year ago and I really think the new Jackson guitar is going to surprise a lot of folks. I expect it to be a fine guitar with some interesting features.

| from the one page photo on the web site this guitar really looks good- my question is with so many builders in the market place do the builders out number the players?Of course not but you get the idea I hope-Is this guitar going to be a high end guitar money wise?Or,in the range of the Carter or Desert Rose or Rains guitars? |

There might be a problem with the name.
There is already a "Jackson" guitar. |

Hmm, doesn't look very advanced to me, they didn't even hide the screw heads. This is a bit primative.

Darvin,
I agree, the end caps look quite thin and made out of stainless steel. [This message was edited by Erv Niehaus on 28 March 2006 at 11:07 AM.] |

| "they didn't even hide the screw heads" my guess would be cost cutting. |

Bobbe mentioned once that it is important that the endplates are screwed tightly to the body.
You cannot do this properly from the inside of the cabinet, so I think to have the screws on the outside is a very smart move.

You are 100% right, John.
Because I struggled on my P/P as well as my Rittenbury Remington with straight screwdrivers and angle screwdrivers to tighten up the side board screws, that is indeed my opinion.
I have no problem with My Sho-Bud, which has the side screws on the outside.
Obviously we are not discussing the screws that attach the top board to the endplates; only the side board screws.

Peter I never had any problem attaching my side board screws.Don't forget that most builders attach the sideboards before assembling the steel guitar.
"Tools make the man".
Most people go wrong on the fact that they try to fix something with wrong tools.If you want to do something right you need the right tools for it.

| I have seen some of the guitars that doesn't have the screws through the front do a lot of walking when you hit the knee levers . Not to mention any guitar at all . I don't know if that is the reason or not . Just something that i have noticed . G.P. |

Thanks for the good advice, Ron.
I used well fitting angle screwdrivers to get to the screws. Is that the correct tool?
And you mentioned that most builders attach the sideboards before assembling the steel guitar. Does that mean I have to take the guitar apart to tighten up those screws from the inside?
If that is the case, then my point about having those screws on the outside is still valid.
En waren jullie nog in Holland? Laat me eens wat meer horen hierover>

| Well, I have heard that some are leary of the pivoting keys. Seems that some believe that there will be undue sress there, leading to problems of staying in tune, caused by wear/slack. It will be interesting to see the first 2 years of their production. |

There are very few brands of steels that I would consider buying and Jackson is on the short list.
