Dick Seacup Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I almost bought one of those in black, about two years ago. Wish I would have.
Mikenov Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I almost bought one of those in black, about two years ago. Wish I would have. I have a feeling we can both say this about any guitar we wanted to buy. Something about this statement reminds me of that Caddyshack scene where Danny is trying to schmooze the priest and Denunzio lifts up his golf bag and says -"I always wanted to be a golf bag.."
smurph1 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 It not only pained them, probably made them throw up!!
tulk1 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Not following the logic here. Could be the drugs, tho'. But I'd assume the boys chose to make that guitar. For whatever reason. I doubt it pained them too much. Altho' I personally think their foray into the shredder market was less than a stellar idea. But hey!! They're still here and making guitars. So something must have worked.

So something must have worked.I guess I must be an old stick-in-the-mud..To me the only electric guitars are a LP style, 335 style, Tele, and Strat..I know that some people like those, B C Rich, Jackson, and Kramer type guitars..I just ain't one of em...Like they say.."Viva La Difference"! Rock on!!
yoslate Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Gumby as guitar...! I'm a traditionalist, too, smurph, although there's something about the Explorer I find...interesting. This thing seems an Explorer...with curves. Kinda weird.
Mikenov Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I wouldn't throw it out of bed so to speak. I think if they could sell it they would make it . As long as it was something that fit their expertise. A set neck guitar is right in their wheelhouse. All their machines are set up to make this scale and type axe.

Rock on!! I'm pretty much 180 degrees away from you on that one. As much as I love the traditional designs, companies like Jackson made some real advances in guitar design in the '80s along with all the crazy shapes and colors. Frankly, this Heritage isn't all that radical--nothing more than a tweezed version of the Explorer body shape.

Kuz Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Put me in the traditionalist pile. No pointy guitars. no locking nuts, Please.
High Flying Bird Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 ...... I personally think their foray into the shredder market was less than a stellar idea. But hey!! They're still here....... In spite of making these things.
mars_hall Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I want a pointy guitar... shh.. don't tell anyone. How about this one?
big bob Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I want a pointy guitar... shh.. don't tell anyone. I have a heritage pointy guitar,( look at my avatar), and I love it..
SouthpawGuy Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 How about this one? Not wishing to go off topic ( ! ), but which model Jackson is that one ? I like good solid pointy guitars, if you know what I mean.

barrymclark Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I thought that one was called the XTerminator or something like that. Saw it in an older catalog not long ago.
Thundersteel Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 For only $1 starting bid, I was gonna place a bid on it--until I realized they are just selling the picture, not the guitar!
SouthpawGuy Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 For only $1 starting bid, I was gonna place a bid on it--until I realized they are just selling the picture, not the guitar! .. so you got the point, eventually ? ... groooooan !
backline Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Amoeba Splat set neck, would be more accurate than Terminator, unless of course they thought the company was going belly up and this was to be the last production run. I want one. Of course, only for snooty jazz gigs...
Dick Seacup Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I thought that one was called the XTerminator or something like that. Saw it in an older catalog not long ago. The Exterminator was slightly different, I think. Didn't Brent have one of those? More of an "X" shaped body whereas the Terminator doesn't have the extension on that lower treble bout (if you know what I mean).
