All user reviews for the Jackson JJ2 Scott Ian

This guitar is much the same as the previous ones. The main thing that makes this special is the mahogany neck-thru design instead of the maple bolt-on neck. On top of that, this has a special kill switch installed on it for some crazy effects. The guitar features a mahogany body, a mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard, special 12th fret inlay, a hard tail bridge, two humbuckers, one volume, one three way switch.

UTILIZATION

The mahogany neck-thru design and mahogany body were surprisingly light. Compared to the JJ1W I played before it, this was a much more balanced instrument. The mahogany neck felt awesome, and it had this almost raw feel to it. The neck wasn't super thin, but it wasn't super thick, either. It was somewhere in the middle, in my opinion. The kill switch that was on this allows you to get all kinds of crazy effects with it, and right now, I'm sure most people can relate to Buckethead using it for some unique effects. I think kill switches are a bit of a waste, usually. One cool thing you can do if you have a two volume knob equipped guitar is just turn one volume knob on 0 and the other on 10. Then swap between pickups with the pickup selector. You'll get the same effect going on.

SOUNDS

The guitar was very resonant compared to some of the other JJs that I've played before. Everything seemed to really click, in my opinion. The guitar had the two Scott Ian pickups installed in it, and they were flame throwers. They were super high output, and they really slammed the amp. They had a strong bass, fairly flat mids and a slight dip in the treble with this guitar. I was able to do some crushing rhythms in E without any issues at all, but I wonder how they'd be tuned down with this body configuration. The neck was a bit too high output for me, and I wasn't a huge fan, but it's not too bad.

OVERALL OPINION

These are probably my second favorite JJ style guitars. The all mahogany construction makes it a much bigger sounding guitar, and I find that it seems to resonate a lot better than the mahogany/maple combo that they used on the other ones out there.

UTILIZATION

the sound is powerful and precise and very bitter, well balanced guitar has a really impressive and substain increased thanks to the neck through mahogany one piece and its conduction is outstanding against the amps, it is easy and V thank you to play for little hands.
It is a flexible guitar oriented metal but rock, hard rock mics also according to him glue! my colleagues with a PRS Santana and Les Paul Custom, could only see the comparison! grain weight comfort subtain power in the upper register saturated with more teeth, precision and character, the Gibson Les Paul will draw on these assets in his inimitable obviously.

SOUNDS

After trying many guitars through gibson, fender us sylver-1983-1993 2009, blade, practicing for 20 years as an amateur and then passing dabord pro and thinking have all seen, I expected a good model nag typed anthrax , well, I discovered another world of woodland sonoritées at all mahogany guitar very simple in appearance as it approaches a model les paul junior but that facade she hides many other advantages, would be t it is dedicated only to metal? While testing, I allowed myself to change the micro bridge with an air norton classic, yes, because the mike scott ian bridge is dedicated to metal and only metal that no question of having a clear or clean a crunch defined, j 'I played rock, hard rock, metal, jazz, and she succeeded in avoiding all the styles with incredible ease and musical in 3 postions, a guitar that has a grain les paul but bigger kind huge even with a simple micro air norton classic, from sound to rhythm acdc malcolm young, santana, garry moore, clapton cream, korn, Creedance, green day, guns n roses, oasis, classic jazz, beatles, all are included with some exceptions or the fender is mandatory, the tests were performed on mesa studio preamp equipped with groove tubes, and a marshall jvm with original lamps, another test with a 12AU7 in V2 electro-harmonics on the marshall jvm it proved more effective Again, the micro bridge was changed to an air norton classic to refine and increase the hard-rock sound of the instrument, and income security for the metal to be totally original course.

OVERALL OPINION

it obviously make a hole in the budjet but if you cross one, try, 2950 euro at the time for this model is faithful to the USA perfection of the craft included violin, discoverable in 1500-2000 euros but is rare for a guitar except unfortunately no longer manufactured.
Jackson JJ2 Scott Ian Signature Series USA Custom, selector 3 position in 2001 bought 1900 euros in 2009 following an entirely new stock remaining.
