Jackson JSX-94

I acquire this at Big Rock in hull, est yorkshire, england. It cost me £279.

I love the pickups, and the tone and action are spot on, I also like the floyd rose trem.

There is nothing to dislike about the unit....ok...perhaps the bridge humbucker can be a bit weedy at times.

It is japanes made, only 600 were made world wide and the build quality is excellent.

This is an excellent guitar for metal and rock. It is a high ed guitar at an affordable price and I'm sure will grow in value and quality in the years you own it.

The Concept Series is a pretty interesting line, mainly because you don't see a lot of them. They can be a bit hit or miss, but for the most part, they're generally all pretty average. They were meant for people who didn't want to spend a lot of money on a guitar, but some of them can be real quality players. The guitar features a basswood body, a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, 22 extra jumbo frets, dot inlays, a licensed floyd rose bridge, HSS configuration, one volume, one tone and a five way switch.

UTILIZATION

The guitar was pretty decent, overall. The fret ends were a bit sharp, but they can be fixed with a special triangle file. It only takes about 10 minutes to fix it. If you're doing it yourself, be careful not to take too much off. The frets themselves were fairly level, and I didn't have any issues getting the action I was looking for on this guitar. The guitar has a licensed Jackson bridge, and they're not exactly the highest quality bridges in the world. The baseplate isn't as strong as other floyds on the market, and I find the screws strip easily. I also don't like the way the arms are as they seem to be real sloppy when compared to the older floyds.

SOUNDS

This guitar had a Hot Rails in the neck, a Cool Rails in the middle and an Invader in the bridge. I was never really a huge fan of the Invader. It has tons of gain and bass, but it doesn't seem to have much overall clarity. It can work for certain genres, but there are better pickups out there that do this kind of style. The Cool Rails is also a pickup I was never super crazy about. It's like a mix between a single coil and humbucker sound, but it doesn't seem to do either of them great. The Hot Rails in the neck can work great for leads, but it kinda sucks for cleans. I might have chosen some different pickups for this guitar, but it wasn't too terrible overall.

OVERALL OPINION

The guitar is fairly decent, and with a bit of TLC, you can make these into some nice players. They can be hard to find, but if you keep searching different forums and/or eBay, I'm sure you'll be able to get a nice deal on one of these considering how few people actually know about them. Just be prepared to spend a bit of extra cash to help make this guitar into something better.

-Guitar factory in Japan
-22 Frets, 3 pickups jackson (2 single and double pickup)
Pink Floyd-jackson.
5 micro-selector switch, 1 Volume 1 Tone button.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is very nice for the lover of sleeves for typical home jackson elsewhere.
- Access to treble is very correct model even if is in any case is not intended for the soloists.
- Weight level one does not mean it's not a featherweight but everything is very correct and well balanced (I never soufert the shoulder even after 4 hours of repeated). Rapel shape the jacksons PS, it is rather strong (mine took quite a coup very ugly and have never suffered too much!)

SOUNDS

"I jou for 5 years with a death metal group trends and always satisfied me. I Minten useful in a project influenced by the sound of MINISTRY, GOD FLESH .... and it sounds awfully good!
This guitar will suit rhythmic metal because it's a fairly aggressive and good sustain, I personally no longer uses the bridge pickup I've also changed to a Seymour Duncan for more precision. DO is obtained grants in the sacrament a heavy anyway, plus I played on a Marshall Valvestate which increases even more metal sound.
To which the selector pickups I do not use very little (or not at all because the variations are not super interesting to me is with, and does not sound too much when we use the microphones sleeve).
In the end we are containing from 20% of the settings and it does not turn that around the same sound .... hoping that we like. Moi perso she is suitable for heavy rhythm, but we share things more complicated, it's a little mess at her.

OVERALL OPINION

It is now something like 6 or 7 years that I used, and has served ... oddly repeated regularly in concert and turns ... it does not drop me!
It's particularity lies in AC resistance and the fact that you feel comfortable top al. The downside is that it is not his polivalente level.
I tried other models before and pandent, I turned to her and a series ibanez S. .. bein I ended up selling the S but I have kept the Jackson.
Relative price level quality I do not even know how much it costs new ... we've offered me and the person who have had a purchase a 1000, 1200fr about ... not much . (150 to 200 wholesale)
With the experience I will make the same choice, a great guitar to begin with.

With the experience I will make the same choice (even though I had no choice lol), a great guitar for beginners (even for those moderately experienced!) As a brand that is widely evidence.
