Yea, i heard that the 85 would be more suitable in the neck position for alder bodies because the 81 would sound too trebley. But i haven't been able to try out any axes with this configuration, so i can't really tell for sure whether its really much better.

I just got my Lp-100 back from Eng at JS Music after a MAJOR overhaul.
Finally got the electronics fixed, screws replaced, installed Schaller tuners (had to widen the holes though), Intonation reset, string changed and Straplok installed.

It now sounds like a whole new guitar. Totally worth every single cent I paid (RM 160, but Most of that was for the intonation setup).

Seriously recommend Eng if you need to service/repair your guitar.

GGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, i prefer an RR shape and the Demmel can't compete with the Jackson Stars' quality. I was quoted RM4.8k including shipping and a softcase. Pretty good deal IMO since the Demmel/RR24 are slightly more expensive and aren't the same quality as the Jackson Stars.

Have a look at this website: http://www.guitarjapan.com/jackson/index.html
You can also e-mail them for quotes or any extra info and they'll usually reply within 24 hours.

i cant find that guitar on the site

heh, u should try looking at digimart and ishibashi ubox, some really cool jacksons [grover,stars etc]
for a really good price

or you can wait for gappy to bring in some jackson stars in a few months time
heh

unless you don't like used gear lah

for grover jackson you'd want stuff from 89 - 95, those were best grover jacksons, which their high end models are on par with MIA jacksons
=p

jackson stars are good quality guitars, if compare to pro series
like fatboy said, they're 24 frets RR, the best deal that all of us RR fans wanted.
2 pickups, 24 frets, Sharkfin inlays, neck binding, wut else we want?

Its the replacement for the RR-J2. The ones on that site are the old models, almost the same price and specs as the 2008 models as the RR-TN02EMG above.

Here is the Jackson Stars site: http://www.jacksonstars.com/
Click on the pdf. banner on the bottom left to view the 2008 catalog.

on board pre amp =p

haha.. true sean
wut else can we ask for?
our headaches are gone now, but the thing is.. the price
i mean, yes its worth the price, but if they can create a bolt on and of quality of the RR3 with similar price range, then that'll make more happier

yea jackson stars is perfect.the search ends here

I get lost at their U-Box, haha. And gappy is bringing in some Stars? Guess i'll just wait for him to bring them in then.
And i really want to find a used Jackson Professional or San Dimas Rhoads from the 85-95 era. If i get my hands on one of those, i don't think i'll ever see sunlight again.

u mean u'll die after u accidentally cucuk the guitar across ur stomach? haha...

Not exactly what i had in mind. But since i would most probably sleep with it, that might be a possibility.

haha i was joking really =p

@fatboythin
i heard he's planning to bring lah, best if you ask him yourself
heh
u love jackson right?
You'll love this if you haven't been here before
I got a Grover Jackson Soloist Special Custom <<< god stupid name so long
for 2.2k (b4 shipping and tax, altogether was 2.8k after shipping n tax) after I read it up from here, it popped up at ubox coincidently xD
found out it was designed by itaru kanno [founder of caparison] and was on the best jackson import period

theres alot to read on that site as well, from bridge maintenance to guitar restoration and rebuilding

enjoy =)

Thanks for the link sean. Wow, you have a Grover Jackson? Thats so cool, they're quite rare nowadays. And i want, erm, NEED to see pics of your Soloist!

haha, I'll take them soon, the old pics hilang liao =/

*listens to gappy, runs to the car to get to LRT Station, realises its 11.40pm, goes back into the house and cries*
