My shiny new thing!

from the meme thread

Speaking of which.... I just bought this guitar! From around 2011, Made in Japan series RR5 Pro. I used to have a Jackson USA RR1T that I NEVER SHOULD HAVE SOLD. So I ended up picking up one of these to fill that void in my soul that was left when I foolishly sold my original one.

This is what my USA RR1T looked like...

crazy...
so i had 3 jacksons and 1 charvel. i sold a couple to fund more guitars/gear.

i bought an rr1, black with gold pinstipes & a floyd. then a 90s custom shop soloist with pile-o-skulls (airbrushed...not decal) and a dave mustaine sig king v from a good friend.

the king v played so well i never touched the rhoads. the soloist was far superior to the charvel dinky that i sold them both.

well the last couple years my friend bought or traded to get the king v and soloist back.

now im left with no jacksons and am on the hunt because i need at least one in my life.

thats how i came across the meme...my wife reminds me i still have 25-30 guitars lol

Oooh, which models have you been eyeing?

My first Jackson was a Korean-made budget guitar - A Rhoads Performer PS-37 with a bolt-on neck and Floyd Rose. Had that thing for a long time but eventually sold it. Floyd Roses are fun, but ultimately I prefer a fixed bridge. Still, would be nice to have at least one guitar with a tremolo.

What I'd eventually like to have is an RR1T or similar with a reverse headstock. All black is how I'm envisioning it, but this blood red one w/ flame maple top does look supremely badass:

Oooh, yeah. That's a lot like the RRX24 that I've also been looking at. Even tho I wish this thing were available with a tune-o-matic bridge, if I was to get another guitar with a Floyd, this would be it:

Not really a truck guy but I've got some properties I manage with my parents and we have a truck for it. My dad is big into chevy so back in March I ordered a 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 to upgrade our 2018 Colorado ZR2 truck for them. I became more of a truck guy when I sold my Sentra NISMO in July of 2022 and my Z didnt show up for 9 damn month so had plenty of seat time in the 2018.

this one is a big upgrade but familiar at the same time got pretty decent trade in for the 2018 too.

It came in today! Its got a way better interior and more aggressive front end with actually in person hints of the Camaro with the headlights and ducts below

It's a turbo 2.7 4 cylinder 310HP bad thing is it gets 16 MPG.

Are these only available in crew cab, short bed, 2.7?

yes all the same but the some of the non ZR2 trims have like 237hp

this truck has everything on it but some desertboss package that adds a bunch of extra off road bars ect.

road stuff

The bed/cab configurations is a bummer.
It's a nice truck, but I need a 6+ foot bed more than 4 doors.

It's been a minute since this thread has seen any action. Kicking it.

Replaced the Jag with an X5 PHEV (last year of the G05). What color? Well, blue is best.
