    Default new Adrian Smith Signature SDX Jackson guitar

    Have you guys seen this lower bugdet Adrian model? Check it out http://www.jacksonguitars.com/produc...-CKM33-WVMR-v1

    How would this compare to the Charvel So-Cal since they have similar features and price?

    The SoCals are a better guitar than the SDX will be... MIJ vs MIIndia... real Duncans vs imported Jackson branded pickups... Korean Floyd vs Floyd Special. I'm sure the fretwork won't be as nice either on the SDX...

    ... But I'm still going to pick one up for a gigging guitar. Little pickup swap and brass block install and we're in business.

    Aren't both the Floyd Special and Floyd 1000 made in Korea with the same components (zinc alloy saddles and blocks, chunkier fine tuners, softer bolts, etc)... just one is OEM or something?

    This is a nice guitar, I really wish that they'd make this in a lefty. I'm actually thinking about getting a '57 re-issue body and building my own Dave Murray Strat, but i do like Adrian's guitar as well. Up the Irons!

    Good one! I thought the exact same thing myself...then I scrolled down a tad and saw that you were reading my mind!
    I wonder how many other sayings are actually lyrics to other songs that as soon as you say a line it spawns one to complete the lyric.

    I was thinking on doing the SoCal with the same features but just because of the Adrian signature I think I will have to give him support... he has been a big influence on my and it's my way to say thanks!

    Being a Maiden fan, I would give it a test run.

    Also coincidental pricing.
