Purchased on 1 September 2007
Made in Japan
Neck-mahogany, 24 frets, affects bne, head unconventional "Jackson" I n&#39;tais not a fan at beginners, and then do it quickly. Imitation ivory inlay courses throughout the handle and the head, gives him a lot, a lot of class!. Mother of pearl inlays included "piranha teeth."
Mahogany body.
Two active EMG pickups and bridge EMG81 EMG85 neck, NCESS a 9V battery that fits in the back of the guitar (the active EMG EMG-HZ replace since 2004 it seems)
Fixed bridge Jackson "JT390" string-through body.
A volume knob, one tone, a 5-way switch.
Mcaniques Jackson standard, do not seem strong trs (the low E "rsiste" a little of that happens to the F # on the rope, which is not the purpose of it, but I feel that one day she rsistera more tt), I plan to replace them with locking Sprezel ds I have the means.

UTILIZATION

Jackson had accustomed me sleeves "bread board" that I like particulirement, which is not the case, it is rather flat compared a Les Paul or a Start, but we still m me a beautiful curve rather plump, identical to the US-SL1 MODELS I&#39;ve experienced.
The rear of the handle is the famous lacquer varnish "satin black" dpolis and trs is enjoyable, even if I m&#39;tais jur not to buy a scratch on varnished the handle (like what ...)
The weight is exceptional, it is all finesse, trslgre, the body makes me think of a woman, be careful not to fall in love (she has the means to make jealous). Profile view when it is on your lap, it&#39;s really trs fine, the other profile is a little more pais.
The action is low, it took me half a turn (multiple times) on the rod so that it shall adopt rglage to curl in the bass. The handle silent as I the right rception.
10/46 climbs shortly APRS purchase, I stick on the run effortlessly.

Ngatif point of ergonomics is the location of the volume knob, too prs strings, and I have this default to back up my hand to the bridge when j&#39;accde to acute, and PAN! collision of the little finger with the knob, rather odd for a "SOLOIST" is not it? So I try to keep my hand near the handle, a ct I can be my default thanks russia correct this dtail.

A photo of the rear of the bte to give you an ide of the quality of Access in acute (lonewolf thank you for the photo post on the forum). It is worth a thousand words:

(Note the sticker dor "made in Japan" at the top of the handle, the trs drle l)
8 because of a knob, and then not, a 9 because it really is lgre, and F, f&#39;est well!

SOUNDS

Another regret is the impossibility to split the pickups, but hey, we know before a purchase, EMG81-85 and split are not (no change in the electronic does not allow) if you want clear sound knofler the mark, change the pickups or play vote preamp (gain at min, drive 0), a CT is a guitar "mtal" and filled tr s well his office this level.

Is duly sustain, especially in the treble, I wanted a race driver for this reason.

I can not give an opinion on reliable trs sound as I did on a jou 5W amp and my PC via a toneportGX.
But nothing with what I heard, I can say this is by far the best sound I got with a guitar, you pass the cold trs (hardcore) to warm trs ( crunch, blues) control. I redcouvre the joys of solos, and I took a real pleasure to play in the acute precision sound, great sustain.
In short rhythmic or solo, she is versatile.
The Tone knob is trs effective, especially in his clear, trs useful to decrease the heat of the microphones.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is a monster in a small place, a little jewelry for the price, I think it reaches the level of the quality of US Soloist, level finish is a little below recess, but a lot for your money !

Bne is the key in splendid mine (quelq&#39;un was critically low, adpend may be in luck you have, or year of manufacture)

I always on a Jackson JSX jou-94 before rolling over with my car accidentally (sad ending), I love silent trs, c&#39;tait a guitar "low end" made in India but all the guitars I tested (a good twenty ptetre see, gibson, fender, Vigier, Ibanez, Guild (splendid), Yamaha and so on) I have never contributed that m &#39; brought my "Cheap Jackson", 4 years ago I invested in an Ibanez RG420 emergency (concerts prvus) on which I never took my foot.

SLSMG with this, I find MA Jackson, and more, I&#39;m over the moon since I bought beautiful object, great sound. In short, if you hsitez yet, go for it!

It happens between Jackson guitars and I something mystical, a kind of "communication" implied that I can not dcrire, and I&#39;ve never experienced with other instruments. I pray every night for Fender, the new and happy owner of the trademark does not make lint.
Jackson for ever.
