A little pricey but very nice...
How much do Jacksons usually go for? I am trying to stay within a tight budget. I spend stupid money on custom made Strats. lol

I was looking for other guitars, but I didn't see any. Of course, he could very well have had some others with him off stage--just in case. I thought it was a little weird. I am used to seeing him with those guitars and/or his Carvin signature model(s).
Great show (of course)! I hope he comes your way with this particular lineup. I think they are off to Europe now.
Look, I sidetracked my own thread!
How about Satch 24 fret one?
I have my share of Ibanez so Im moving opposite way of you now... Need a strat and a Les Paul
Say what you will about the pickups,I personally love them, but pickups can be changed. For my money, the JPs play better, faster, and easier than just about anything out there.

This may seem like a very lame question, but what exactly is a "Shredder guitar?" Don't you need hands that can shred? Any guitar, set up properly and with good action can play fast.

If that were strictly true you'd see a lot more people shredding on ES-335s, Les Pauls, and Teles.
Anything that discusses AH can't be considered a sidetrack.
Sadly Allan hasn't toured Oz since Chad moved back to LA from Sydney - that was 7 or 8 years back. We got a few AH tours prior to that though. But so far there's no reason to believe he's coming on this tour.
Yes and no. I think it's a matter of influence and style. You tend to use what the people you're trying to emulate use, so it's a bit of self-perpetuation. John 5 uses Tele's for everything from country chicken pickin' to Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. You'd be hard pressed to find somebody who says he's not a shredder. You can shred on a Les Paul (Ace Frehley, Slash, etc..) but the single cutaway is a little harder to reach. Tons of jazz guys are shredding on ES-335's.
Edit: More on topic, I picked up a Charvel Desolation Soloist and that thing is a sweet little guitar. There were some minor things that needed touching up (rounded off the sharp corner on the nut, there was a burr on a tuning peg that was cutting strings) but it plays and sounds a LOT like my Custom ESP Horizon. It's a really sweet guitar for $650.
I think it's just a style of guitar that folks who shred are attracted to. I "shred" a lot on my 355, Les Paul and my Tele.If that were strictly true you'd see a lot more people shredding on ES-335s, Les Pauls, and Teles.
