| Jackson's = Truth |
| Quality |

| most jacksons are great. The expensive japanesse models are almost or equal to the american quality. Jackson's are to me what a gibson is to a 50 yearold guy. I have a charvel from the 80's. It is almost as old as me. It has a jackson jt-6 licensed floyd. That guitar will NOT go out of tune. I can go crazy with the trem and it always returns and sounds great. a brand new ibanez with an edge III (which I will never buy one with an edge III again) will not stay in tune if you use the whammy bar. If you bend a note on the ibanez it will not reutn to its position and keep the guitar out of tune. So Jackson (who makes charvel)has proved me over and over that there instruments are top notch. |

| I have only had it a week, but I have owed a king-v that never had any problems. every thing on it feels tight and the floyd always stays in tune so far. |
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| This guitar is amazing. I have never played a neck through guitar that had so much resonance. if you play a big power chord, you can feel every string vibrating from neck to horn point. I was slightly aroused after that haha |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| this guitar is very light, which is great compared to my washburn dime. the balance is perfect, better than the king v. stays right where you want it. And like my old v it has the input jack under the big horn, which is cool when running the cord behind your strap. Then neck is thin u and is one of the fastest necks. Feels way better and stronger than an ibanez wizard II. very easy to play and having the lower horn the length it is helps you use your thigh to position it ( i play my guitar kinda low). My only complaint is the volume knob is to close to your hand ad doesn't have much resistance. To remedy that, just put a rubber o ring under the knob so its harder to turn and your pinky won't hit it and turn it down slowly like mine. |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| you know, It took me a while of playing it to figure its tone out. The emg keeps it bright and the highs rolling, but the wood I think Is what gives it a sinister low/warm undertone. I know metal tone is dictated more by pick-ups and amp/eq, but this guitar has an awesome low bite that my other emg guitars do not have and It has to be coming from the wood. The emg is hot as you would expect. Emg is suttle. They sell 81's with different magnets in them and designate the magnet thats in it by the color of the emg logo on the pick-up. The emg that is in this jackson has a new log that isnt block letters and the logo on this is silver. The other emgs I have are gold box letters and silver box letters. Im not sure If its the same as the older ones or if it is an 81-x. |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| the finish was excellent. I always look for imperfections like straightness of pinstripes, extra paint at joints, and imperfections in the clear. There was a slight imperfection at the tip of the top horn, but it may have happened when it was at the guitar shop, as i didn't notice it till after it was there. The fretboard had a mirror polish to it. I got the white with black bevels. The white is def. snow white. |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| the action was ok out of the box. the intonation was off. I took it to have it set-up the day after I got it. the nut had to have some slots filed and the saddles shimmed, but thats it. It plays like a dream now even with the action a little higher than I like. |
