Oh man,that zebra stripes Jackson logo is Great!!!

I have been playing Jackson guitars since 1988 I have never been to the factory Thanks John and Premier Guitar for doing this. One day hopefully they can make me a signature model of my own

Wow, pin routing in 2024!! So cool!

I look forward to purchasing my Grandson a Jake E. Lee model someday. He seen one at the guitar shop and fell in love with it. I’m thinking it would be a great 16th birthday present.

Brandon Ellis new custom is my favorite Jackson!!!

Bohlinger is a cool kat you could just chill and have a few beers with and talk gear. Chillin vibes.

I just got my custom shop rhoads a couple days ago and this came up in my recommended! The craftsmanship blew me away. It’s perfect. It’s such a beautiful guitar. Great job guys!

That black on black Jackson t shirt is awesome.👍

It’s nice to see a guy who is genuinely passionate about his job

Thank you John for the awesome Jackson factory tour. I purchased my very first Jackson in 1986 serial #1010. (9th one built) It was gunmetal gray w/Kahler Pro 2. I loved every second of this video.

John probably the best shop interview I've ever seen. Amazing people.

No corporate BS going on there... Awesome he called up the paint dude on camera!

Great tour! Thanks!!

Cheers to both those Jackson guys - you can tell they both care . Hardworking- BC ✌🏼

Miss my 80’s custom shop Jacksons.

Awesome tour and discussion - I am very impressed with these artisans and master craftsmen - and their work. I also have a great deal of respect for the patience and time they spend on the instruments - it seems clear they take great pride and are treated well as they stay for a long time and pass along the knowledge - a beautiful thing man!

I'm in love! Jackson s my favorite guitar. I've been playing them for 32 of my 38 years. I would love to work in a Jackson factory like this.

That was really awesome! You can tell these guys absolutely love their craft! Love to own a masterbuilt or teambuilt Charvel one day.

At least their CNC machine is.

I saw KISS in 82 with Vinnie Vincent on lead. He played a Gold Randy Rhodes Jackson. Beside Randy himself, that was the first guitarist I saw play a RR Jackson. That tour he used a Charvel Superstrat as well. Jackson outdid themselves with the Jackson VV or Vinnie Vincent dbl V. Like Vinnie or not but he had some killer guitars.

@ADR.Hi-Gain

I can relate to this. I saw a KISS at the Glens Falls Civic Center back in the early 80s and Vinny Vincent had his pink three-quarter flying V that was the very first time I ever saw a Jackson in real life.

If you want one bad enough, find a way. Put money aside every week, take on overtime at your work, get a second job, cash out vacation time if your job does that sort of thing. If you have a 401k, you can take out a personal loan.

Best video on you tube! Thank you...

Great stuff Pat!

Wish I still had my early 90s Fusion XL HSS with hot rails. Thanks for doing this tour.

I have a Custom Shop Warrior being built right now. The only problem is that it takes forever. 3 years at least. I also wish they'd expand to include the Pablo Santana Extreme versions again!

A Maple neck vintage soloist In the Bengal finish! Count me in

Charvel custom shop stuff is pretty awesome. I have a team built San Dimas and a team built SoCal. The team built stuff is expensive, as any custom shop order is, but not as expensive as some other manufacturers off the shelf production run models. Master Built is another story. Those babies are mucho dinero!

John, I love how comfortable you let people be in these interviews. I hope I become successful enough for you to rig rundown me

I had a Jackson back in the 90's. I miss that guitar

An excellent format. Not just one guy "saying "over here we've got this and "over there is that. There's an expression in my old Army Unit. If something is real and not a copy IT'S DECLARED "ITS DIRTY." If in the case of this build, I would say "YEP IT'S DUSTY.".! Thanks for the post..

That pin router is quite impressive. I want one!

My '95 Charvel San Dimas Traditional is still one of my favorite guitars to play. If their stuff today is even close to that quality customers will be very satisfied.

It’s not

It’s cool to see where and how your guitar (USA Kelly) was made.

at 12:06 video almost took a wrong turn, thankfully Jackson guy got it back on track. Great Job!

1:22 in and I’m already more impressed than every other shop your.

Cool tour! Josh looks like he just got his driver's license.

I know every one of those dudes, and they are all very cool dudes, Dave especially him and Big Joe, they didn't show Big Joe, are super cool guys, super talented!

Congrats on 700K subs, 👍👍🍺

Jackson is Best Guitar 🤘🏻🔥🤯

A really cool Custom shop order is called a double Randy Rhodes V that Robin Crosby of Ratt played. They make both sides of the V the same length. Where that differs from the King V is the RR dbl V has more space(between the two V)in the center than the King V. Theres a tour of those guitars here on KZread.

@michaelnugent9758

Ай бұрын

Yes, the Double Rhoads is absolutely KILLER and huge too!

i'd buy one of those tiger stripe Soloist today if they put that into production!

Grew up with Pat's mom, his grandfather was a great craftsman also

I have one of the Music Zoo natural Charvels. Redwood body with roasted flame maple neck. Best neck I've ever felt on a guitar.

I love Jackson Charvel, USA and Japan are the best.

Did vintage Jacksons have a thinner headstock? I swear they look thinner and sharper on the original two Rhoads Vs, as well as on the SL2Vs they showed in the video, but I can't find anything online about it.

Great content ✌️🤘🎸🏴☠️🇦🇺

Yes please! Bring the falcon back!

Wood working fantasy land!

Either this is old or Branden Ellis has another sick custom coming haha. I was just watching his collection. Always wanted a Jackson but never wanted a cheaper one. Just recently got that camo concept series 7 string Rhodes and lovin it

I’m currently in the process of saving for a custom Jackson Kelly seven string. I’m just a bit torn on what I should go for in terms of color (I have all other specs planned), so I’ll leave it up to the comments section. Should I go with Shattered Mirror or Black 3.0 w/ UV Green binding?

I have no idea, but why doesn't Jackson have more signature colors for the Dave Davidson Warrior 7? He has a red 27.5" scale that is no where to be found for purchase? There's even a yellow one too. But no... the snorefest black open grain and his classic mohogany.

That brandon ellis kelly is gonna be nasty.

Jackson. Making guitars your shop teacher would be fine with.

jackson and charvel custom shop should have a custom headstock logo. maybe do jackson charvel custom shop as the pointy lipstick colored logo. import charvel or jackson gets a stamped black logo on wood so you can easily tell USA from the rest. when i was young, jackson was custom only so when you saw that logo, there was no guessing about quality.

I play left handed like Jimi H but my inspiration is N Strauss of Alice's rockin band par excellance and she of course plays somewhat better but I love em both. God bless both and the rest of the AC band!🫠

They took 4 years to build my custom warrior and screwed it up. Wrong paint, MOP instead of abalone, wrong tuners, poorly wired pups. If I were to screw up an order that took 4 years, I would get FIRED not praised. They did a great job on the frets and neck, I will give them that.
