Pickups

You my friend must not be educated in the ways of guitarness. I myself am a guru.

You might be right, however on the jackson website in the specs it doesnt mention Active pikcups just "EMG humbucking pickups" and i would think that they would show off the activeness

NP. My bro has 4 guitars. A Warlock, A Les Paul, A something that is like a normal beginner guitar, and an Acoustic. And my brother also listens to only metal.... he bought a violin off a friend for 5 bucks.

Not a Jackson...but I picked this up yesterday. It's a National Duolian (like a Dobro), made in 1935. Someone painted it (40...50 yrs ago?), which knocks down the "collector's value" (but that's not why I bought it.) Even with the ancient strings, it sounds excellent...
Oct 30, 2008. 1:54 PMgmoon says:
Yes, you can play it like a lap steel. Some resonators are "square neck," and can only be played on the lap. This one has a traditional guitar neck, so you have a choice.

I'm actually better at slide when it's on my lap. But it's way more difficult to play fretted runs and chords on your lap, so I'm working on my slide technique when playing it normally... And yes, I have it tuned to open G, since that puts a little less tension on the old resonator cone.

"Uncle hurby" sounds like a slide player's name should.... (good name for a blues band.)

Oh, it's a guitar! For a horrible moment I didn't check this thread - I thought "Jackson" might be a euphemism... ;-)
May 19, 2008. 8:18 AMGoodhart says:
Aye, I thought that too, worriedly (and now again after I hadn't seen this for a few weeks)
Jan 12, 2008. 8:11 PMTool Using Animal says:
Same thought here, esp. after the shaving thread.
May 19, 2008. 8:18 AMGoodhart says:
shaving thread?
May 19, 2008. 8:44 AMTool Using Animal says:
There was a thread about how to shave your pubes. We gave much bad advice, hilarity ensued.

In the uk it is slang when used with the surname "Pollock" Another example of "two countries seperated by a comon language" GBS

I thought the same thing. :)
Jan 11, 2008. 12:44 PMchooseausername says:
I did not ... I thought it was about a little dog pet called Jackson. Don't ask me why, I have no explanation.
Jan 11, 2008. 6:13 PMDoctor What says:

nice Jackson..I take it you wont be playing much country`n`western on it.LOL. My kid has promised me undying fealty if i get him a Jackson. I will get him to pay half as soon as i get him into Zappa and he gets me interested in Lamb of God. snigger
Jan 12, 2008. 6:06 AMWolfpack871 says:
Are those active EMG-85 and 81's? If they are you might want to mod it to source 18 volts to each pickup, it sounds way better than the stock 9 volts.
Jan 12, 2008. 11:51 AMWolfpack871 says:
All you gotta do is solder up another 9v battery connector, nothing else is required. The pickups are rated for up to 27 volts.
Jan 11, 2008. 3:50 PMGorillazMiko says:
Nice dude, that's a pretty sick design you got.
Jan 11, 2008. 11:51 AMroyalestel says:
Cool. I like the smooth finish on the paint job.
