Feline has an instalment policy I believe.

Plus he's mates with Blackmachine guitars and could maybe wrangle some truly gorgeous top wood for you if you're lucky and sweet and charming.

i hate dealing with dawsons :P but if its just for a test play it'll be ok

Yeah, I always thought of them as a general music shop that had a few cheap guitars as an afterthought & only ever went there if I was desparate for strings/picks etc, but the new Reading store (well, relatively new - it's probably been there years but I rarely go into Reading) is full of guitars, including some US Jacksons & there's a guy there who actually knows something. I got my KV2 from there last month which is how I know about the 2 RR24s they have...

interesting, i went to the reading one a couple times and the one in basingsotke when it was still a dawsons a few more - admittedly the reading one was greatly superior, but the one in basingstoke which i believe is now m&m music, which has greatly improved since the take over.

otherwise feline does interest me if they do an installment program i must admit.

Jackson are bringing out an RR5 with a floyd this year, the RR5FR.
They're also doing an RR24 with a maple neck, the RR24M.

Both will be available from April, apparently.

i've heard about the maple neck one, i'll certainly look into that, i like me maples :P as far as the RR5FR, sounds interesting, any ideas on possible specs/prices?
