Jackson Guitars
A Jackson guitar is meant to be played, and played hard. Each of their endorsers and players choose Jackson because they know Jackson builds their instruments just how they want them. Jackson's instruments are built to handle hard lives on the road, and are ready to take whatever players will throw at them, that's the just the way it is, and Jackson won't have it any other way.

Subject:HORRIBLE FACTORY ASSEMBLY!!! ON 2 DIF GUITARS!!!!!
Quality: Im not sure if i just got very unlucky, or if jackson just doesnt care anymore. but the first guitar i recieved had an uneven fret which caused absolutely no sound to come out of one fret. And the second guitar i received after i returned the first one, had super high action, when i attempted to lower the action, it had an excessive amount of fret buzz, and fretted out on big bends VERY dissapointing for a jackson usa select series.
Reliability: i havnt had it long enough to tell, and wont seeing as i am sending it back on a 3rd attempt to get a guitar worth anything. 3rd times a charm hopefully.
Overall: very dissapointing.
Playability and Feel: it would feel great, if it wasnt for all the mess ups on jacksons part.
Tone: pretty bright tone. pickups were pretty hot after being raised.
Finish: finish looked amazing, now if it could only play worth a darn.
Action: HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!

Subject:Trust me, I have 3 of these ---> Great guitars!! Period!
Quality: These are well made guitars albeit more expensive then others, but worth it. The Jackson USA line does NOT make a bad guitar. The last reviewer may need to have his professionally setup, especially if he wants very low action. Remember, shipping a guitar may cause you to have to adjust the neck as well. Another reviewer mention gain issues. Gain does NOT come from the guitar itself therefor not a reflection of the instrument. It comes from the pickups. I have the same stock Pickups and NO gain issues.
Reliability: Almost a year, and all 3 still play great
Overall: High Quality you would expect from Jackson I have 2 KV2s and 1 KV2T. My only minor criticism is that they call the frets on the KV2 jumbo but they are not as big as the frets on the earlier Jacksons
Playability and Feel: Thin wide compound neck that plays fast when you want to, very consistent with Jackson guitars. Good balance for a V guitar
Tone: Good tone for a V as it is a Neck though. Obviously not quite as fat as a Les Paul but fat enough.
Finish: I have the "ghost Flames", "Nebula" and "Silver Dragon". All are pro finishes and look great.
Action: Very good, but I adjust mine a bit more to my liking. Most guitars are NOT going to be perfectly setup out of the box, regardless of the price. Thinking they are is an amateur’s misconception. - sorry

Subject:Great Guitar, Crappy Tone !!!
Quality: Well Built, Solid as a rock, no flaws.
Reliability: Have played it serveral times, always stays in tune.
Overall: Great Guitar but over priced big time.
Playability and Feel: Neck is great, best thing about the guitar. I had to get some frets worked on due to some being a bit high and I like low action.
Tone: Tone is Flat, I mean Flat. I even replaced the TB-4 with and SH-6 and still doesnt have the gain as my other 6 guitars. I cant figure it out. Was very dissappointed in the tone. Sustain lags big time. Going to try a set of Seymour Duncan Blackouts.
Finish: Paint job is great, thick and shiny.
Action: It was ok, but I like it low for shredding. Had to have the neck worked on such as fret hight.

Subject:worth every penny
Quality: i did a lot of research before buying this guitar. the materials used and the brand names attached to this guitar are top notch
Reliability: n/a
Overall: looks, feels, sounds excellent
Playability and Feel: it's lightweight. the neck is fast, very comfortable and easy to play. controls are right where they should be. vibrato bar stays where you want it to.
Tone: pickups a little noisy due to poor electic isolation of the other internal parts. there's a video on youtube that shows you how to solve the problem, no biggie. tone kills, great for metal.
Finish: ALMOST flawless, the only defect I was able to find was a small area on the headstock on which the paint didn't completely take.
Action: couldn't ask for lower action. jackson knows what guitarrists want.
