I knew that this guitar would be cool...but I was NOT expecting such excellent quality in an instrument that I paid $265 for, brand new! It has a beautiful look and finish, and typical Jackson style and feel...but right out of the box, this warrior screams! I just tuned it up, tightened up the output jack which was a bit loose, and BAM! this guitar is of excellent quality, every bit as good as a $900 guitar. And I have lots of guitars; and no, Jackson is not paying me to write this. It was perfectly set up and intonated from the factory. This guitar has a perfectly straight neck, thin and unfinished, which makes it super smooth and fast, 24 jumbo frets, nicely polished and level (no fret leveling necessary with this little battle axe). Zero fret buzz, and no nasty sharp fret ends. The sustain is excellent, which really surprised me for a bolt on neck and a (relatively) cheap guitar made in China. The sustain on this guitar is as good as my Ibanez Jem. Seriously. I bought a set of Seymour Duncan humbuckers to upgrade it before it even arrived, but now I'm not sure if I will even do that...the pickups on this guitar are surprisingly good. Very nice, clear, chunky yet bright bridge pickup, super harmonics and squeals, very impressive for a stock Jackson pickup. The neck pickup is really warm and smooth, like a Gibson LP neck pickup. I love these Jackson branded FR tremolo bridges. they are every bit as good as a FR Special, if not better. The bar fits perfectly in the socket without me having to use friction tape to keep it from wobbling. The springs are silent, the bridge is precise, and doesn't go out of tune, even when I am diving down to the depths of the sea, or pulling up to heaven. This guitar is just awesome, especially for the price. If you have $300 and want a nice, high quality, professional grade guitar on a budget, THIS IS IT. Seriously. Thanks for reading...I hope this helps someone.Read full review
