    clean sound crystal type stratovolcano, humbucker missing potato for my taste, but I own a Hamer Diablo and ESP Horizon Custom Deluxe, NOHD difficult to get a concrete idea.
    I probably changerias acute microphones for a more powerful for distos huge (type zik death, hardcore, etc.)
    the base of the guitar is very very good.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    1 year of use

    yes tons of guitars!

    I like everything

    I would do this choice again, we stay in jackson anyway, even if it is not a US. AC does not want too say much CHSE in our time .... knowing listen ...;)

    I bought this used at Guitar Center for about $150.

    This guitar was great, the action was a lot lower compared to many of the Mexican Strats that other friends had. After a little bit of tweaking, I was able to get a faster feel than even my sister's Ibanez S470DXQM.

    Also, if you are into the looks, then the black polish is great, despite its habit to show fingerprints, etc.

    The bridge obviously is cheap, and don't even think of using a whammy bar on this one.

    Ever since the action is low, I suggest medium gauge strings, in order to remove the fret buzz, which annoyed me beyond believe.

    The guitar is probably a decent guitar for the price. You get what you pay for.

    The finish was impressive, and if you take care of it with a bit of polish, it will always be beautiful to show off.

    I would definitely recommend it as an entry to mid level guitar. My only complains would be the fret buzz, thus not allowing you to play with light strings.

    I bought the guitar from a local music shop for $250. I wanted a back up hard rock axe.

    I like the design. The electric blue finish is impressive. The fretboard is nice and flat.
    The tuners are well made.

    The single coils are nothing to write home about. The tremolo is OK, nothing special.

    The construction is adequate. It's what I'd expect for the money. I spent nearly three days setting it up, which ws a pain. But now it plays fine.

    This guitar ain't bad. I use it alot for home recording and pre production.

    I bought it in Budapest, in a shop named "Finkey". I paid 70000 Ft, it's about $280. Among the other guitars in this category, I found it the clearest in voice.

    I like its shape, first of all, but of course it isn`t the most important thing. I use it with a Hughes&Kettner amp and I use a Boss MT-2 and an Electroharmonix Big Muff, and when I swith between pickups, it can be heard very nicely. The volume adjustment is quite smooth, as well. The guitar has a surprisingly clear and wide sound.

    It's the pickups. The screws often loosen, and I have to adjust them almost every week, because they sink in the body, causing volume decreasing. It`s really embarrassing. On the neck, it's quite rough …

On the neck, it's quite rough to play on, though I don't say it would be impossible to get used to. The volume adjuster gets loosen often, as well. It is a pity that the whole thing lacks stability.

    Good sound among cheap guitars, that's what I think about the quality, it was worth it, but the physical attributes are weak. All the screws loosen too quick.

    I live in Hungary so I bought the guitar in the nearest guitar shop in Gyor. The shop's name is Buxa. I bought it 'cause I like the sound of electric guitar and I'd like to learn to play it. I paid 60000 Forints for it, it's ~450 DM.



    It's very easy to tune it correctly, it's easy to play on it. I like its great color: it's BLACK!



    I don't like the back color of my guitar.



    It's a very simlpe electric guitar with single coil pickups and Jackson strings. It sounds pretty good, especially with the MT-2 distortion pedal of Boss.



    This electric guitar is a very good choice for beginners but for professional musicians as well.

    SOUNDS

    No doubt it is a jackson: she loves metal!
    in sound: it is not the top! its clear the bridge pickup is unusable because it is so aggressive, Criar! the neck pickup delivers a plutt round but sorely lacking sustain. in the neck position / central, clear ringing sound and the fender is interesting exploit. in distortion, the neck pickup is not too bad, we blame mainly the lack of sustain (almost zero). the neck pickup is very appecialble him for this solo but tjrs bp sustain !!!!!!
    good it must be said that the era when I buy, I plugged in with a zoom 505 and a peavey studio pro ... not what is the best either!!

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been eight years since I have this guitar. I changed the microphone to an EMG-85 bridge, a di-Marzio fast track 2 in a central and a fast track to handle (a branch of Zoom GFX-8); good ok j'au doubled price of the guitar but it sounded the thunder !!!!!!! I say "ringing" because the small has not aged well at the race which has tended to deform despite SETTINGS regulated.
    a nice guitar and a little more singular Who bcp to beginners, and it remains true jackson (has done more than to come up with a like all beginners an old storm or other jim harley, and for a price really more expensive).

    I regret the handle enorment I even prefer my misucman pettruci signature, it is to say!

    I therefore without hesitation advice for beginners and even if you QLQ euro more, go to the JS-30 is good fun too.

    I had yet to buy as a head shot of a new 280.

    The neck is extremely flat and thin. Ideal for quick shots of all kinds.
    Access in acute is greatly facilitated by a good part of dcoupe infrieure body. Despite its lgret fund dlivre good sustain.
    The pickups are trs means and the sound they dlivrent fairly neutral.
    In his clear, they sound a little cold even with an amp lamps. The double dlivre good potato in saturated but can seem a bit sharp and sour.
    But hey, for the price this little scratch not sound bad at all.

    SOUNDS

    I acquired this guitar for 200 euros, for his neck and look. In fact I just used trs and I come to offer my son ain beginning itches.
    This instrument is perfect for beginners because it is very easy to play with. Long learning knowledge does not tire the hand of beginners.
    The sounds, although no standard tural personality will delight those who want to try the big sound. I do not think it is wise to mount other microphones. any fawn, such a transformation coterait provided the initial price of the instrument, then you can change the guitar.
    Small regret, the vibrato is not anything.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Aside from the power this type of inappropriate vibrato guitar and microphones the sound can be a bit bland, at least I got is a good instrument.
    For 200 euros and if you discovering the world of electric guitar, better opt for this type of product that plutt ple copy of your guitar rve.
    I take back just one point for the vibrato, otherwise, considering the price there is nothing about that.

    Not bad for a beginner

    Jackson JS Dinky JS20Published on 08/14/11 at 19:41
    The Jackson JS-20 is a fairly low priced superstrat type guitar that is designed to be a way to get into owning a Jackson in a very affordable way. It features an Indian Cedro body, maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 22 frets, sealed chrome tuners, typical Strat style tremolo system (non locking of course) and an HSS pickup layout that is controlled by volume and tone knobs plus a 5 way toggle switch to get some variations on the typical pickup sounds. There's not much remarkable about this guitar (usually made in China or some other overseas factory) but it's basically designed to be a decent beginner's guitar that is backed by the Jackson name.

There's not much remarkable about this guitar (usually made in China or some other overseas factory) but it's basically designed to be a decent beginner's guitar that is backed by the Jackson name.

    UTILIZATION

    It's a medium weight guitar that feels fairly standard. It's not nearly as light as some of the more refined higher end superstrats, but it isn't a boat anchor like many guitars can be in this price range. The shape is pretty typical superstrat and it sits on the body quite well and is comfortable to hold and play. The upper fret access is decent on this guitar for sure. Getting to the 22nd fret is easy enough and the heel doesn't majorly get in the way of your hand. It's not quite as good as the Ibanez AANJ or a neckthrough guitar but for being what it is, it's not too bad.

    Getting a good tone out of this guitar is pretty easy. I like that it's an HSS design which allows for more true single coil tones in addition to some humbucking tones too.

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is basically designed to sound like a reasonable facsimile of a higher end Jackson superstrat but at a bargain basement price. The stock pickups really are nothing to write home about as far as the tone goes. The single coils have little sparkle or jangle to them... the response is very flat and undefined. I like using the combination of neck/middle pickups for a bit of clean Hendrix tone but that's about it. The humbucker has a high output quality that works well for 80s style rock and metal, but isn't quite tight enough to get into modern metal tones without sounding thin. Considering that they're cheap OEM pickups they don't sound that bad, especially with distortion applied, but given that makes like GFS are available for $30 retail on average, there's really no reason to use these cheaper pickups.

    OVERALL OPINION

    All in all I think the Jackson JS20 is a decent attempt by the company to have a good low end version of their famed Dinky or Soloist style guitars. It's obviously not to the quality of even some of the mid level stuff and the parts are not of the best quality, but the craftsmanship is decent and when you get one that's setup well, you've got a great beginner's superstrat on your hands.

    This is a guitar for beginners, and it's priced accordingly. It's a very bare bones guitar, so it's not recommended for those who are experienced players. The guitar has the following specs:

    Indian Cedro body
    Maple bolt-on neck with rosewood fretboard
    22 jumbo frets with dot inlays
    Vintage style tremolo
    HSS configuration
    One volume, one tone
    Five way switch

    UTILIZATION

    This guitar has quite a few flaws in it that I find in beginner guitars. The first thing I noticed is that the fret ends are pretty sharp. This is a real pain when moving up and down the neck. It'll require some work with a special triangle file to fix this. The frets themselves weren't totally level. …

    UTILIZATION

    This guitar has quite a few flaws in it that I find in beginner guitars. The first thing I noticed is that the fret ends are pretty sharp. This is a real pain when moving up and down the neck. It'll require some work with a special triangle file to fix this. The frets themselves weren't totally level. They also weren't totally crowned, either. The neck itself was straight, which was good. The neck joint had a bit of a gap in it, and this could hinder tone. The guitar itself was pretty heavy, and I'm not a fan of heavy guitars at all because I feel they're mostly dead weight. The nut on this also had some binding issues.

    SOUNDS

    The guitar really didn't sound good at all. The bridge on this is very muddy, and I think it's due to the bad tonewood. The wood on this thing is some bizarre cheapo wood that sounds awful. The neck and middle pickups were bland, too. Honestly, the guitar didn't sound good at all, and I wouldn't even recommend replacing the pickups because it would be a total waste of money.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I recommend not buying this guitar at all. It's a very poor quality guitar, and it sounds pretty awful. You're much better off buying a nicer used model instead of getting one of these. If you're dead set on these, at least play a ton of them until you get one that's decent sounding, but decent is about the best you'll get.

    Configuration with two humbucker pickups and simple is common on this type of guitar (a typical configuration for soloist).

    I have so far played a Fender rock pro? 70 ...

    However, we come to get sounds that are similar to ca metalica etc and would the highlight of this guitar ... I get also get a good sound for the Led Zep ...

    I do however psa much the neck pickup ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is my first electric guitar. I have since 2002.

    I tried at the time tried auccune another guitar. I have stayed in the dining room for my birthday and I found the object. But I had to try many other guitars and they do not necessarily the valley.

    In this price range, the JS20 is very well placed and I would probably recommend that a beginner like taste of rock pushed the metal (90) ...
    Since that time, I tested many things ... With the knowledge that I developed and I did try very likely I would take something else. However there are no masses of guitar like these ... It is dessu the entry ...

    I would advise a beginner to try also the competitor from home and other ibanez style look at the Squier, the epiphone ....
    Personally the best guitars below 500 (so about 200 more than this guitar still ...) I've tried are the Epiphone Les Paul Custom (480) and Squier Thinline (420)

    It was manufactured in India.
    It has three pickups: two single coils Jackson JE14 (sleeve and central) and Jackson JE10 Humbucker (bridge).
    The bridge is an imitation of Pink Floyd, not so good since there is no blocking nut so that the force is a little out of tune the whole guitar. So for that reason I do not use very little.
    For we have a volume knobs, one tone and a five-way.
    The handle is a Jackson very thin and flat. Me he's fine, it's ideal. It has 22 frets.

    7 for the vibrato is not great but for that price I think it will not scratch a great vibrato.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is great, it's my first electric guitar and I think now I'm used to the extra sleeves Jackson dishes, fine and fast.
    Access to acute how to be difficult from the 17th fret.
    For ergonomics: it is a form Strat therefore comfort level and balance, we drop the guitar and it still. For the weight it is slightly heavier than the standard Start but it's going.
    Good sounds are rather easy to achieve especially with the bridge pickup.

    SOUNDS

    Instead, I play metal but sometimes I play everything.
    So Jackson is a special metal.
    I play a Peavey Rage to me and I can have a good sound distortion and clean. By repeating 'I play on Marshall and Peavey 100W in there and you get a really great metal sound with the bridge pickup in particular.
    I now play recently with a Zoom G2.1U, it turns out the sound and you get great sound throughout the levels.

    So for its clean and Crunch: That, contrary to all Aprioris Jackson defends. It's not on a Fender, but generally those buying Jazzman Jackson is not ^ ^. The bridge pickup is not too bad for the sounds slammin.
    But still it's not a guitar to play exclusively in the registry clean.
    For audio distortion: Both microphones are simple, it must be said, rotten, they do not sound at all, have a very low output level; franchemment great void, are best kept to play against at Clean.Par level of the next bridge was a great sound for a guitar meant to be entry level ... so we have a good clear sound with good output level, ideal for the metal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 3 years, as I said this is my first electric and I am scratching frankly not disappointed! I knew nothing at all in the scraper electric when I buy the store and the guy pointed me to this guitar Jackson and now I'm a fan of this brand was awesome!
    It's a good scratch but then why only 280 €? And ba just for a few small flaws like the sound not so good with simple saturated (at the same time they are not made for that) and vibrato but otherwise everything else is really good.
    I advise all those spineless good scratch with a budget not too high, it is really good compared to that of the same price any other brands.
    I recommande.très good value for money
    +: The sound of the pickup, comfort, the handle finish.
    -: The vibrato, the sound of simple saturated

    I do it again this choice with his eyes closed
