I am so jealous right now. I can't wait to get my mitts on this thing.
It ticks all the boxes for me. Nick (Axe Palace) was gushing to me about it and made an offer I couldn't refuse. It wasn't really even on my list when I was talking to him about a few others but he kept coming back to it saying it is flawless.
I have always wanted a proper soloist but have seen a lot of recent QC horror stories and I don't have the option to try a few out looking for a gem locally. I also can't justify shelling out $5000 moose bucks on a USA model. These are made in Korea which I wasn't aware Jackson was even doing.
The only thing I don't absolutely love about it is the single shark fin inlay on the 12th but if it plays as good as it looks I will get over it.
Yeah, I had to put it down cause I didn't want to love it. :lol: The shop I got my H7 from has 2 of them in stock, or at least they did a few weeks ago.
As for MIK, my H7 is the best 7 string I've ever played, and that includes a variety of other Jacksons, some Ibbys, several Schecters and my anniversary LTD H7.
While the waiting sucks, once you have it you'll realize it was worth waiting for if it's like the one I played.
