[Vision2020] guitars

Don,
What a steal!!!
I have the cheaper version of that guitar. I bought it at the same time as a BC Rich -no comparison! The Jackson is the best balanced guitar, not as heavy, very playable, and despite it's shape, is comfortable to play classical (surely by Randy's design!). Suffice to say I still have the Jackson and don't have the BC Rich.

Over 20 years ago I traded an old Peavey wood grain guitar plus $30 for a used "Eagle" Flying-V Gibson rip off. The intonation is way off so it would never tune right, it was impossible to not have unwanted feedback through the unshielded pick-ups or wiring and was just generallly a piece of crap, still got it though for sentimental reasons.  
  
 Years later I snagged a Jackson RR-1 Concorde with solid neck though body, shark tooth inlays, dual Seymore Duncan humbuckers and real American Floyd Rose tremolo at a pawn shop for a record $210 out the door (mind you, it was in a pawn shop in Vegas in the Crack district as a "Manager's Special" because no one who would ever venture in there would pay the original marked price of $899. New one's sell for $1500)  
  
 Though it has a few chips and dings it was well worth the price and left cash to splurge on a signature hard case and leather Dimarzio clip lock strap.  The difference in playing is night and day, no un-wanted feedback, action as smooth as silk, stays in tune for years and can handle a myriad of sounds from the crunchiest of Death Metal to smooth, fat Jazz or blues and on down the scale.  Many musicians have made sounds from this guitar that I never would have thought possible from a stereotypical "Metal God" guitar. My only wish is that it had the 7th string at the low end but I get by with tuning to D and then even Drop-C when it calls for some drastic CrunchNastiness.

 The other day a bought a guitar from the pawn shop. It sounds bad, it's 
 action is horrible, it doesn't even look very good. In short it's a 
 piece of junk. The model name is "American Legacy", and yep, you 
 guessed it, it's made in China. The irony was so extreme I just had to 
 have it.
