Since Wilhelm has given me hints about my guitars and their quality level and looks, I'm seriously looking into other guitars. I know Jakcson is a hit for W-meister (couldn't find the Action-Jackson model, though), but a couple of other custom shop models. And since I so obviously doesn't know what makes a good guitar, I'm hoping for some help here.
As I understand it, a guitar can't be pointy enough. Here is a brilliant way of adding more spikes on a V-shaped guitar:
Off course, the above color shceme may not screem "METAL!", but hang on, Jackson are famous for their many color options:
I think knob-dude in the Jackson custom shop was inspired by Hounddog Taylor's guitar, and got a little carried away. But each of the knobs unleashes hell to a different degree. Metal!
But of course, for the political correct musican, there is always possible to add a pornstar to your guitar:
Or if pornstar is a bit too tacky, there is always the more tasteful swimsuit images:
So, which one should I choose? And I'm ending with a short video with an endorser (is this what they call shredding, Wilhelm?):
Have a nice weekend, y'all!

...that's not a real Jackson...probably some cheap, Korean knock-off.
A real Jackson SL like the one he's got there would strangle him with the guitar strap. Don't ask me how - these things are scary metal......
Ok, you are saying that Junior Kimbrough is endorsing a cheap, Korean knock-off?
But, since you are the man when it comes to pointy guitars, which of the other custom shop models do you recommend?
....I'm saying that putting a genuine Jackson SL in the hand of this guy of dubious musical skills is like giving a Stradivarius to an elementary school music teacher.
Since you've obviously started to get interested in real guitars, I can recommend the King V...
..unless you're f*cking with me, that is ;-)
I wouldn't dream of f^cking you, W-boi. In fact, that would not even been a dream, but a night mare...
Seriously, I've gone through the Jackson site. My main concern with the King V is that the standard Jackson headstock is really fugly. But this one I really could play. Right scale length, cool pickups, neck through, mahogany and a normal looking headstock. Not so keen on flame, though. Wonder how the neck profil is; I'm guessing that there is a slim chance of finding one here in Norway...

Don't you think putting Stradivarius violins in the hands of all elementary school teachers is going to use up a reall large fraction the school budget? I would never have guess that you think that's a good idea.

Seriously, one of the few guitar related things we can agree upon, is that a Jackson just doesn't look right in the hands of Junior Kimbrough.

Meh - poor excuse for a Jackson in my book. A problem with some of the Jacksons, like the King V and the Rhoads, is that you can't really sit down with it. However, the Kelly model, the Soloist, Dinky and also PC model are way more normal looking and functional.
......but as far as I know, most have D profiles....

I'd rather see him wielding an accordion, but I'd prefer not to hear it ;-)

That would be something like this, wouldn't it? ;-)
Aaah, good ol' Clifton, nice to see you developing a taste for it as well...

Why is that? Have you checked the spec's? Apart from the shape and maple top, the spec's of the King V and the Mark Morton Dominion are pretty similar.

....short 2 frets plus no freakin' whammy bar
