The new & the old

Here's another look at Chris Broderick's fresh Jackson signature model. In the mean time, I'm just not attracted to the body outline; the offset design looks wayward but I'm sure the ergonomic considerations far out-weigh the need for good looks per se.

Can't help but look at the Ibanez... This is the final collaboration before one of metal's most talented guitarist parted ways with his preferred brand name instrument. It's all history now.

NOTE: This was a custom model based on Mr. Broderick's specs; note the ZR bridge in there (which is currently exclusive to the S-series + extended tuners)

iconic jackson's hockeystick headstock (6 in line) looks way cooler...

i was actually saving to get the white Ibanez, thinking that it will arrive at NAMM 2011, all the sudden he decided to switch

There a photo of Chris playing a white Jackson Sig(w black binding)that looks very similiar to the Ibanez, must be brand new(custom).

jackson's 3-a side headstock never really kicked off but it retains tuning better than the 6-a side design.

Anyway, the tone is in Chris' fingers... and not in these guitars...

i don't quite subscribe to that philosophy- our fingers are nothing without able instruments (& other supplements...). then again, i'm not chris broderick- i can't just play any guitars, some guitars don't help me play well :-P

Still finds it strange why Ibanez would mis-manage such a great endorsee. Sad.

subversion.sg said...

mvplover: that's his personal custom, based on an RGA model with personal tweaks/ specs of course

mismanagemeny- this is not the first... :-(
