Yeah Even if most the people here hate it I'd still get one made like that if I had the cash.

That's probably too close to an actual Les Paul body shape for Jackson to do. They could probably do so legally with the bodies based on the PRS court ruling, but they have a longstanding policy of refusing to do Gibson shapes. They also won't do Explorers or roundhorn Vs anymore. When an old Jackson Explorer or Firebird from before that policy shows up for sale, it commands $$$$$.

They did make a few pretty exact Les Paul imitations in the '80s, including one for Vivian Campbell that is one of the earliest serialized Jacksons. To my knowledge, those all had 3x3 headstocks, though.

I'd like a double cut version of this. SG style Jackson FTW

Jackson made a prototype of an SG-ish model that was supposed to be a Bruce Kulick signature model. I don't believe it ever made it beyond the prototype stage. It was a regular listing on eBay for awhile.

Also, if you like Les Paul Juniors with the double cutaway, Jackson did produce a Scott Ian signature model in that style for a number of years in the '90s, called the JJ-1 and JJ-2. I got to play of the lower-end bolt-on versions, and it was a pretty nice guitar. I've never seen one of the neckthru versions. They weren't a big seller, because that's not what the typical Jackson customer is looking for.

There was a SG type that was a Metal Mike signature prototype. They only made a couple of them in the early 2000s.

Newc from JCF had (has?) it for a while.

That was the one I was thinking of...I'm not sure where the Kulick association came from.

I recall it being fugly.

It is fugly, and it's Pat Lachman, not Metal Mike:
