I was in a GC yesterday and saw that they were blowing out a new Jackson DK2M in inferno red. Not sure why--I don't think the red sold that well for whatever reason. They originally were going for $600-700 and the new 2009s are $100 more than that. Here's the info on Jackson's site (http://www.jacksonguitars.com/products/products.php?group=Dinky-Body&page=1&product=2911005803). It's got the 24 frets and maple fretboard I like. It's slightly pointy. It's got the JB/Jazz pickup combo. The only issue is that I'd probably have to sell my Floyd at least to get it.
Why am I even considering this? I'm nervous about the continuing supply of Speedloader strings. One guy on the Floyd forums has been trying to get some since spring and they keep pushing the date of availability back. I know it seems kind of stupid given all that I've put into this thing, but a guitar with no strings is, well, pointless. I'd have to lose the Screamin' Demon because the pickups are the only things giving that guitar value right now, methinks. If push came to shove, I could buy a new one.
Thoughts?
