headstock question

[gush_lust]

hey all

i've been playing jackson guitars for awhile now but i've become fed up with them

i want to purchase an esp cuz my friend has a few and they play so smooth

i like the esp's design but i dont really like its general headstock
so with custom-shop, can i have a jackson style headstock??

You could try to find a late 80's ESP, some of which had Jackson shaped headstocks.

Outside of that and living in Japan you don't have many options.

Learn to like the ESP headstock.:p

[N3rdAl3rt]

no you cannot ask esp custom shop to make jackson headstocks, you'll have to find 80s esps that have jackson headstocks

[gush_lust]

oh well... thanks for the responses

one last question:)

can they tilt the headstock more downwards (non-reverse headstock)
so it doesent point straight

[D-EJ915]

They'll do whatever you want as long as it isn't another manufacturer's headstock, it'll cost you more though.

It's tilted far down enough...

Jackson fanboy... :p

Thats pretty nice...Can I still get those older truss covers on a new Custom Shop?

[Liromyc]

You should be able to as ESP still produce them as parts. If you know someone going to Japan ask them to pick up a handful from Crafthouse.

[staccato tomato]

Lirom, thanks. I'm actually waiting to hear about a Custom Shop order and I specified that I want that truss cover...

[gush_lust]

it sounds crazy, but if you get an ESP/LTD, you coud buy an aftermarket jackson neck and install it....unless you have a set neck...otherwise, get used to the ESP headstock

Just to let you know, Dave from fretsonthenet makes those truss rod covers for like $10. I just picked one up from him. fretsonthenet.com.

I know of him from another forum, he makes some cool shit. I pimp his site every time someone needs something he makes. He doesn't know me, I'm just a fan of his work.

the black one looks real nice... but is it just me or is the bridge pickup too far from the bridge? :confused:

[ESPKH4Builder]

they did make an exact jackson head stock...the KH zorlac

after pre fender jackson threatened to sue ESP they changed to the current headstock shape

Sounds to me if you basically want a jackson, then stick with jackson. No label whores are allowed here.:o
