No More Jackson "Stars"

[jim777]

The trademark issue between Jackson Guitars and Kurosawa Gakki has been resolved, and the MIJ Jacksons built in Japan at the Chushin Gakki factory will now be sold under the brand name "Jackson" in the Japanese domestic market, without the "Stars" bit added onto the end. Some places are blowing out the "Stars" badged guitars if anyone is interested, including Ikebe.

Thanks for the heads up! I saw some floating around the bay. They seem like finely crafted instruments. I might just pick one up...

how much of a blowout pricing are the Jackson Stars??

[jim777]

their Craftmanship are actually very well executed, i had an Black with gold pinstripe RR1 and RR-TN01 and i actually like Jackson Stars better.

most of the stars Rhoads are also 24 frets unlike USA's either you go custom or KV's.

they also have more options as far as pickups combos.
