Body yes neck no

ummm...
That particular one qualifies as a "pointy guitar" for me :lol: (ie the Japanese is welcome to keep it :lol:)
But I do kinda know what you mean :)

i bet theres more than a few AndyR friendly Jap-specials out there though...

I'll go halves with you then? I don't like the look of the body- looks like the top of a cheap desk (with pickups on)!

Exactly.
And right at the moment, I really don't want to see them :lol:

I think your definition of "cool" is much different to mine, gwEm :P
-
Body yes neck no
Neck yes, body... not sure.
Is this inspiring a project, gwEm?

in a way philly - i fancy a rhoads V, but i don't fancy paying alot for it... i'm saving up for a couple of other things more important, so i can resist.
-
the japanese fenders are super awesome. more interesting finishes on their mustang and jaguar models than you can shake a stick at.
-
Japan get all the cool stuff, wish I knew where to look to find them!
-

you love a bit of maple fingerboard action tom - you know it!
-
i quite like that
-
but the thing is why japan gets such cool stuff - is it a massive market for the electric guitar, the wild japanese tastes, or that they are high-quality guitar producers themselves

Probably all of the above. But it is interesting that there are so many Japanese-market-only models. Quite a few of them would sell internationally, I think, and wouldn't infringe any Fender or Gibson trademarks.
-
thats because its the japanese distributors that get to say what they order. the uk distributors rarely request models in the same way, but then we dont have the buying power of the japanese guitar market
-
oooo that's pretty!
take the pick guard off, gimme a floyd and a nicer piece of wood for the body, make some pinstripes out of ebony ;)
I'm quite surprised the body is made from ash, all the jackson rhoads Vs I've seen have been alder

they've also done mahogany, swamp ash, popular and walnut...
you might like the walnut actually - in the same series as the one i posted

Nothing wrong with that, its the rest of the guitar that I dont like!

Is that a real guitar, or a Photoshop mock-up?

that is the 'sexy finger VII' of course!!

I'm sure that name is completely innocent, but it sounds absolutely filthy....
Anyway, it's hideous.
I am, though, fascinated by some of those J-Rock signature models. I'm sure playing-wise they're pretty standard, but the look is such an important aspect. And I'm intrigued by the whole world of Visual Kei (probably got my terminology totally wrong there :roll: ), it seems so completely alien.

Oh dear..

yeah what about this one?

That's a question that has haunted the Gretschpages too. There was a Silver Penguin and a white Electromatic Pro-Jet among others. Very cool guitars.
Japan is huge market for electric guitars and they like the odd ball stuff. I think Japan is also used as a test market.

If the exchange rate ever improves, I want one of these:

The guitars pictured are bad, but i know what you're saying about the Japs getting exclusive versions of guitars which i drool over daily!
-
I would have one of those "Rhoads-meets-JEM" Circuit V Panther sig models in a heartbeat, I really would. Just for the cognitive dissonance of playing clean-toned post-punk on a guitar that looks like somebody fished it out of CC Deville's recycling bin. :)
-
Yeah it's something odd to see there is always special stuff made for the Japanese :japon: : guitar, CD... For instance there are so much bands who put some additional materials in their releases for a special "japanese version" that is impossible to find or cost *$%ù!§ thousand billion $$ dollars.
Awful ! :gib:
Anyway the Rhoads is one of my favorite guitar. Angular ? Yes (moderately) but also very high class and confortable to play. Nevertheless I'm not keen on this japanese version...Don't like the ash looking and don't fancy that maple neck w/ black inlays :lol:
If you don't intend to go for a US model I think the RR5 (very classic Rhoads looking) is the best option AND the fixed bridge design is stunning and that guitar.

you know - i wish the gold hardware on the 'classic' ivory rhoads would be black...
-
Yeah I know.....me too :lol:
But I think you can get a black hardware set from directly from Jackson, without too much problems, and for an affordable price, and then.......you'll be there ! :twisted:

I'd love one of those. :)

You can, however you have to have a floyd rose on it.
It's called the RR5FR

Jackson also have a custom shop that will build you what you want, at a cost. They used to have a habit of getting the specs a bit wrong on occasion though...
