The jackson JJ4 is a Japanese guitar neck 22 frets with a screw type fixed bridge "tune-o-matic" a through-string.

The body has a shape close to the lag roxane, a les paul DC, and obviously a washburn scott ian signature, which is his illegitimate sister, if I may say so.

THE JJ4 is the "cheap" series JJ. His mache is screwed. mics are better on high-end versions, but the back of the neck is the JJ4 varnish (with a good satin) and not painted like some guitars, I prefer personal (I hate sleeves with thick varnish or painted, like Gibson!).

The pickups are Duncan Designed 2 doubles (against the "real" duncan on expensive models)
There is on mine a volume knob a classic 3 position pickups selector and tone potentiometer apparently not home that replaced the "kill switch" home.

The maple neck with rosewood fingerboard is the most special I've experienced. not slim like the rest of the production jackson, on the contrary it is quite pronounced in V, as specified by Scott "Ian" Rosenfeld, the riffeur of Anthrax

Particles is very nice to play but in the end. Difficult to iron on something else after.

UTILIZATION

The neck is the most singular that I tested, but in the end we made it great, and we can not do without it!!

ACCESS Augis is pretty good, but because of the joint body / neck, the version splus dear need to do better on the field.
Ergonomics is simply great. Ian Scott is making a MLEC the scene and this signature model is made to play up. Light and well balanced, it is worn around the neck like a jewel;)

The sound is at once a very good level thanks to the DUNCAN, even if they are cheap Duncans, they are still rather compelling.

SOUNDS

The great strength of JJ4 is its versatility, it works wonders on lots of styles: jazz (yes, really) blues rock edgy, while it will almost

I played on a laney GC120C which gives a very clear sound just jazzy, very nice. After for large distortions, it is doing better than many since it was designed for this at the base!

I have a personal weakness for the neck pickup, which better highlights the grave.

The only weak point of mine is the bridge pickup has a relatively low output level, but I think it's a problem of setting.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year already, and that's the first time I saw "oh how cute she is," because unlike the picture that illustrates this article, mine is painted midnight blue sequined very succeeded with a simple logo jackson on the head.

The special feature I like: almost everything: body shape, sustain (thank you traversing the strings) the sound and the handle so special and highly addictive.

the least: on mine, the varnish of the handle was too fragile sueuer attacked by the previous owner, once the back of the neck (light) has a beautiful blue trace not

I tested quite a few models before you buy, but I must admit that I bought on a whim (actually I was looking for an amp) because it was a thunderbolt.

I have not paid a fortune (less than € 200) and suddenly, it's a steal, I would do without hesitation
