To us guitar dweebs, the name Grover Jackson is all too familiar; Jackson guitars, that's right. Mr. Jackson is back with a range of brand new range of electric guitars under his helm- the GJ2- all to be showcased at the upcoming Winter NAMM 2012. The above model is a glimpse of what's to come.
Here's a worthy quote from Mr. Jackson himself pertaining to the manufactured aging of guitars (that's relic to the rest of us):
If you would like one of our guitars to look like it has been used for years we have the following advice. Buy one of our guitars and play it for years. Guitars are beautiful objects for sure, but they should be played with fire, passion and intensity. Don’t pet it, play the hell out of it. You will have a lovingly aged guitar in no time, a guitar that reflects what you have put into it. Enjoy.

"don't' pet it" he said hahaha~
i just went to their webby and apparently its so new they have only got like one shape, with the diff body woods as diff models -_-
It's definitely very new, nothing to be upset about, really. It feels.good to know that here is a new player in the market doing contempory designs, not a variation of some vintage stuff.
personally ugly..only to me.
it's not down-right appealing, that's for sure.
well i'm alright with the shape (though it reminds me of the epiphone guitar that i cant really rmb the name of) but the floyd trem and the two humbucker is bugging me lol
that would be the Epiphone M-III but i see an ESP Snakebyte there :-)
snake bite yes..no wonder it looks familiar..bugger you Mr Legendary Jackson.
Hi Folks, my name is Jon. I am Grover's partner in GJ2. We love the comments, good and bad. We know our guitars won't appeal to everyone but for those that like them we will offer the best possible build quality, playability and tone. We are starting out with a single platform with various options and will introduce new models as we can. We are a very small company and it would be commercial suicide to do "too much, too soon". Our guitars will be hitting stores soon, if you get a chance to try one we hope you will like it and we welcome feedback of all kinds. Happy New Year to you all, Jon at GJ2, Guitars made in the USA by Grover Jackson
Jon- thanks for reading. we are looking forward to what GJ2 has to offer, we know what the 'Jackson' name stands for :-)
