This is by far my favorite guitar. I went though hell trying to get it and almost didn't think I was going to. In the end it came out better than I ever imagined.
This started out a custom shop order to mimic the ESP M1 Tiger. I was at a George Lynch Guitar clinic in Baltimore and wanted to buy the M1 they had there but was too slow. Someone else bought it before me. I decided at that point to order a custom shop Jackson guitar and add my own touches to it. This mock-up is what I came up with and sent in to Jackson with my order.
