John Bohlinger and the PG video crew head west to explore the two brands that helped spark hot-rodding instruments and tricking out "super strat" shredsters. Talented master builders Pasquale “Pat” Campolattano, "Metal" Joe Williams, and Dave Nichols (aka “Red Dave”) unlock the door to their twisted sanctuary and let the dust fly showing us their hands-on approach to building drag-racing guitars.

Great watch! I second this!
@@michaelnugent9758any link to it?
I have been playing Jackson guitars since 1988
I have never been to the factory
Thanks John and Premier Guitar for doing this.
One day hopefully they can make me a signature model of my own
Oh man,that zebra stripes Jackson logo is Great!!!
I look forward to purchasing my Grandson a Jake E. Lee model someday. He seen one at the guitar shop and fell in love with it. I’m thinking it would be a great 16th birthday present.
Wow, pin routing in 2024!! So cool!
Brandon Ellis new custom is my favorite Jackson!!!
I just got my custom shop rhoads a couple days ago and this came up in my recommended! The craftsmanship blew me away. It’s perfect. It’s such a beautiful guitar. Great job guys!
That black on black Jackson t shirt is awesome.👍
Bohlinger is a cool kat you could just chill and have a few beers with and talk gear. Chillin vibes.
It’s nice to see a guy who is genuinely passionate about his job
Thank you John for the awesome Jackson factory tour. I purchased my very first Jackson in 1986 serial #1010. (9th one built) It was gunmetal gray w/Kahler Pro 2. I loved every second of this video.
John probably the best shop interview I've ever seen.
Amazing people.
Awesome tour and discussion - I am very impressed with these artisans and master craftsmen - and their work. I also have a great deal of respect for the patience and time they spend on the instruments - it seems clear they take great pride and are treated well as they stay for a long time and pass along the knowledge - a beautiful thing man!
Cheers to both those Jackson guys - you can tell they both care . Hardworking- BC ✌🏼
Great tour! Thanks John. I’m a proud owner of a RR1 Jackson master built by Mike Shannon. 🤘🏻
Great tour! Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was really awesome! You can tell these guys absolutely love their craft! Love to own a masterbuilt or teambuilt Charvel one day.
Couldn't agree more!
No corporate BS going on there... Awesome he called up the paint dude on camera!
I've been waiting for this video for a looooong time
I'm in love! Jackson s my favorite guitar. I've been playing them for 32 of my 38 years. I would love to work in a Jackson factory like this.
Seriously enjoyed this video, thank y'all!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The question is, will we ever have money for our own Custom Shop guitar. :D
Welp depends if you want to finance it and treat it as another bill
Nope
Well, you only need 1 kidney to live....
Not me😥
If you want one bad enough, find a way. Put money aside every week, take on overtime at your work, get a second job, cash out vacation time if your job does that sort of thing. If you have a 401k, you can take out a personal loan.
This was such a great video. I absolutely love Pats work since his days at Yamaha. The Jackson and Charvel he has been building since being at Jackson are next level though.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Miss my 80’s custom shop Jacksons.
Super cool cideo and tour! Great stuff as always, John! 👏🏻
Guitar Geekery Masterclass.
Gentlemen at Jackson are great craftsman.
At least their CNC machine is.
People behind the brand's name are everything ❤
I saw KISS in 82 with Vinnie Vincent on lead. He played a Gold Randy Rhodes Jackson. Beside Randy himself, that was the first guitarist I saw play a RR Jackson. That tour he used a Charvel Superstrat as well. Jackson outdid themselves with the Jackson VV or Vinnie Vincent dbl V. Like Vinnie or not but he had some killer guitars.
I can relate to this. I saw a KISS at the Glens Falls Civic Center back in the early 80s and Vinny Vincent had his pink three-quarter flying V that was the very first time I ever saw a Jackson in real life.
Crazy bit of history about Vinnie's gold Rhoads - that guitar was originally being built for Randy himself and would've gone to him had he lived.
@@MatzaFTW oh! Amazing.
@@ADR.Hi-Gain Yeah! I saw em on both(Tank Tour 1 & 2) Creatures Of The Night & Lick It Up. COTN bombed so bad due to their Elder reputation that they just recycled the same set for LIU tour. Yeah, great shows as Eric Carr was jamming at a faster pace.
Charvel custom shop stuff is pretty awesome. I have a team built San Dimas and a team built SoCal. The team built stuff is expensive, as any custom shop order is, but not as expensive as some other manufacturers off the shelf production run models. Master Built is another story. Those babies are mucho dinero!
An excellent format. Not just one guy "saying "over here we've got this and "over there is that.
There's an expression in my old Army Unit.
If something is real and not a copy IT'S DECLARED "ITS DIRTY."
If in the case of this build, I would say "YEP IT'S DUSTY.".!
Thanks for the post..
The hair on my arm just raised when he mentioned that THE Dan Lawrence is doing the graphics. The guy is a legend!
He makes great guitars too. Got a custom build V recently. Best guitar I own.
I have a Custom Shop Warrior being built right now. The only problem is that it takes forever. 3 years at least. I also wish they'd expand to include the Pablo Santana Extreme versions again!
Great stuff Pat!
Best video on you tube! Thank you...
A Maple neck vintage soloist In the Bengal finish! Count me in
Awesome tour and video John.
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ve got my first CS Jackson coming soon, can’t friggin wait!
It’s cool to see where and how your guitar (USA Kelly) was made.
Wish I still had my early 90s Fusion XL HSS with hot rails. Thanks for doing this tour.
John, I love how comfortable you let people be in these interviews. I hope I become successful enough for you to rig rundown me
That pin router is quite impressive. I want one!
at 12:06 video almost took a wrong turn, thankfully Jackson guy got it back on track. Great Job!
I have one of the Music Zoo natural Charvels. Redwood body with roasted flame maple neck. Best neck I've ever felt on a guitar.
1:22 in and I’m already more impressed than every other shop your.
Congrats on 700K subs, 👍👍🍺
Cool tour! Josh looks like he just got his driver's license.
I had a Jackson back in the 90's. I miss that guitar
i'd buy one of those tiger stripe Soloist today if they put that into production!
My '95 Charvel San Dimas Traditional is still one of my favorite guitars to play. If their stuff today is even close to that quality customers will be very satisfied.
It’s not
A really cool Custom shop order is called a double Randy Rhodes V that Robin Crosby of Ratt played. They make both sides of the V the same length. Where that differs from the King V is the RR dbl V has more space(between the two V)in the center than the King V. Theres a tour of those guitars here on CZcams.
Yes, the Double Rhoads is absolutely KILLER and huge too!
Jackson is Best Guitar 🤘🏻🔥🤯
I love Jackson Charvel, USA and Japan are the best.
I know every one of those dudes, and they are all very cool dudes, Dave especially him and Big Joe, they didn't show Big Joe, are super cool guys, super talented!
Grew up with Pat's mom, his grandfather was a great craftsman also
Great content ✌️🤘🎸🏴☠️🇦🇺
Wood working fantasy land!
Yes please! Bring the falcon back!
I had my Jackson charvel since 94. Emgs. Floyd rose. It's been to many hotel rooms
I have no idea, but why doesn't Jackson have more signature colors for the Dave Davidson Warrior 7? He has a red 27.5" scale that is no where to be found for purchase? There's even a yellow one too. But no... the snorefest black open grain and his classic mohogany.
46:00 Yeah, i love KOA wood 2.
Either this is old or Branden Ellis has another sick custom coming haha. I was just watching his collection. Always wanted a Jackson but never wanted a cheaper one. Just recently got that camo concept series 7 string Rhodes and lovin it
I’m currently in the process of saving for a custom Jackson Kelly seven string. I’m just a bit torn on what I should go for in terms of color (I have all other specs planned), so I’ll leave it up to the comments section.
Should I go with
Shattered Mirror or Black 3.0 w/ UV Green binding?
Black and green
Did vintage Jacksons have a thinner headstock? I swear they look thinner and sharper on the original two Rhoads Vs, as well as on the SL2Vs they showed in the video, but I can't find anything online about it.
That brandon ellis kelly is gonna be nasty.
Id like to see some Jackson JTX custom shop examples
Love my Jacksons, but only reverse headstocks for me
jackson and charvel custom shop should have a custom headstock logo. maybe do jackson charvel custom shop as the pointy lipstick colored logo. import charvel or jackson gets a stamped black logo on wood so you can easily tell USA from the rest. when i was young, jackson was custom only so when you saw that logo, there was no guessing about quality.
Request to Premier Guitar team to please do EVH gear Factory tour next... Thankyou !!
There’s already a nice factory tour of the evh factory here on CZcams. We don’t need another one
Jackson. Making guitars your shop teacher would be fine with.
Does anyone know if Jackson factory is inside Fender Custom Shop? Both in Corona, CA.
Yep!
Ave you ever thought to dovetail the wings to the neckthrough?
Woodglue ends up being a stronger bond than the wood itself.
@@DapperHesher would still be glue in the dovetails. But would it would still resonate better.
I play left handed like Jimi H but my inspiration is N Strauss of Alice's rockin band par excellance and she of course plays somewhat better but I love em both. God bless both and the rest of the AC band!🫠
PAT!!!
imagine dropping that kind of coin and not getting neck-thru and stainless frets Keisel reigns supreme when it comes to top dollar fiddles
Whaaat!!???👀👀
How long do you have to wait to receive your custom ordered Jackson guitar?
Average of 2 years usually if it isn't refunded
😅
@@thesteamycreamofdualjabbar6486 Mine was ordered in September 2021
As long as it takes the Mexicans who make them to get citizenship
Some say 3-5years. I ordered a custom from another place back in summer 2021 too...or maybe 2020 🤔
Boot to bonnet ? Is he from canada ?
Montana ... so close enough!
I just love Jackson but at $7000 for a custom shop guitar this is gonna stay a dream. Man that's a lot of dosh, lol.
Can anyone find my Jackson Rhoads Concorde Custom Shop? #RR
16:03
They took 4 years to build my custom warrior and screwed it up. Wrong paint, MOP instead of abalone, wrong tuners, poorly wired pups. If I were to screw up an order that took 4 years, I would get FIRED not praised. They did a great job on the frets and neck, I will give them that.
I see not much has changed the last few years...😢
too bad my last custom shop orders were snuffed up... cant recommend them anymore at all!!
🇺🇸🎸🔥
the way this is shot almost like for like to rob scallons schecter factory video is scary
Exsqueeze me? Baking powder?
No Jake E Lee!
KOA not the campground
I've never heard anybody say alder the way he says it.
I'm broke but have a shop
He said Wood...lol
Good luck getting an order that takes less than two years or doesn't get refunded unless your name is Scott Ian or Phil Collen.
ALL-DER not Al-Der WTF?
IS it PED-ant or PEH-dant?
@@DapperHesher😂😂😂
Rock on, boys.
I can’t afford a USA made Jackson. I don’t like the new imports from Jackson. I love the older mij Jackson guitars. So far I have a 2003 dk2 HSS and a dx10fs HH.
Try to get a custom Jackson lol. Forget it! Even if you have the money, they fuck up the order
First comment do I win something 😂
No. I don’t understand why people still think it’s cool to comment “First!” There’s no skill, we’re all subscribers and get the notification too.
Well it was a joke, lighten up..
@@I_Will_Just_Be_Honest calm down mate, give Donald his guitar
24th
No offense but the host guy is not great at his job. Doesn't seem like a good fit. He would probably be better as a FOH manager at the olive garden.
Steel Panther Stuff ? Hope that master cutter get sick with saw dust ...
their "blood drip" looks horrible , lets be honest
