Or better yet, how about an X Series Reversed headstock Soloist? I'm sure alot of folks would dig that one.

This is what many of us were waiting for without going through the Custom Shop route, if it happens it'll be an awesome addition for sure. :D


the way i see it, Jackson has to meet the M-series ESP has been putting out recently. Neck thru too with floyd special bridges---all with reverse headstocks. reversed head Jackson dinkys and soloists look far better than those Ms.

So yeah Jackson, match the competition! bring on the reversed head flat top Soloist! Release the Kraken!!!!

Friends, Jacksoners ‘ and Fellow Shredders…

Lend me your ears!

Greetings All!!! I’m one of the moderators/emissaries from Jackson HQ. All of us here at HQ have all been watching your posts and questions with intense interest, and we felt that it was appropriate to answer some of the questions that have been put forth over the last week or so, in order to dispel any mis-information and to insure you are getting the correct info.

First off, we’d like to thank all of you for your interest and continued support of the Jackson Brand. As you can see, there are many changes afoot (a new web site,–the re-envisioning of the X Series, the release of the new JS basses) , which we hope is evidence to all of you of that we are “listening” to you and are breathing some new life into Jackson.

OK..our real goal here with this particular post is to address some speculation that has been put forth about these X Series guitars.

First off…the SLX, SLS, KVXT, RRXT, RRXMG, KVXMG, WRXMG, WRXTMG and SLX-Q are ALL, real-to-goodness neck-through guitars. None of this set thru…or thru neck nonsense, that some of the “cover” brands are hawkin’ on the market today. The only exception to this rule; the Dinky (DKXT), which of course, is always spec’d out as a bolt on guitar.

These guitars are not made in Japan, but are made at other factories in and around Asia and the Near-East, that have “mucho” experience in building Jackson models, and understand that these guitars need to have “mojo”. ‘Nuff said.

And lastly, we anticipate these models to begin hitting stores in and around North America in October, in the U.K & Continental Europe by the holidays, and in other international locations in early 2012.

Ok, that’s enough pontification from us for now: Be on the lookout for these cool new guitars at a store near you soon…and play loud!

Got my new black RRXMG few days ago. It is made in India and controls are volume, tone, tone.

I don´t know if all new X-series Jacksons have same kind of neck, but I can tell that RRXMG has thinner neck than JS32 Rhoads and it therefore very easy to play. Overally this guitar feels very nice and it is lighter than JS32 so it´s good for my back.

I have one problem with this guitar:strap button is in "wrong" place even if it is on the traditional Rhoads location. My wide leather strap is on my way when I try to reach frets 20-24. I´m considering to drill a extra hole and move the button to same position as with JS32.

Hi all,

I've read with great interest the discussions on the new X series by Jackson especially since I'm looking for reviews on the new WRXMG model.

The origin of guitars under this series is now known to be from India/Asia and that the neck is indeed a neck-thru-contructed type.

I cant wait to have my hands on the axe but have no options but to wait until February next year.

I have a few questions though:

1. Does it come with a hardcase or a gig bag?
2. If I were to upgrade the Floyd Rose Special tremolo to an OFR, which type of nut should I use...R1, R2, R3, R4 or what is recommended?
3. The fret wires...what type of jumbo fret it has - medium jumbo, normal jumbo, extra jumbo? 6105 type or what?

I have just ordered a WRXTMG in quicksilver with black bevels. I will share some details with you as soon as it arrives. (I guess in two weeks, from the UK to Hungary.)

Some questions I could not find out from the net:
- Does it have a graphite nut? The later JS32T Rhoads has it for example.
- Is the input jack located on the upper horn?

I bought a WRXTMG in quicksilver with black bevels - an amazing guitar for the hobbists.

I sold my RR3 to buy this. The RR3 is undoubtedly superior to this, the wood and the overall build quiality is better. No wonder, because the RR3 is from the Pro Series. I had known that, and still, I changed to the WRXTMG, and I am very pleased with the change.

This Warrior has all the features I desire: through-body neck, fixed bridge with through-body strings, active EMGs, reverse headstock. The reverse version is better than the original Jackson headstock for guitars without a tremolo, because the H and E strings go straight to the tuners. The whole guitar is built for KILLER SUSTAIN, definitely better than the RR3. I loved the Rhoads form, but I prefer the Warrior. A friend lent me a WRXT for a week before I sold my RR3 and ordered the WRXTMG, so I had a chance to decide if the X Series quality is enough for me - a trade off for the killer features and sustain. Yes, it's not MIJ, made in India, but still it's a great guitar.

I know you guys have many questions about the WRXTMG, so I thought I will upload a few photos about it, so you can see the details. I can't understand, why guitar manufacturers don't publish detailed photos.
