MGR/Thom « Jackson Performer PS4 »
Published on 01/19/03 at 15:00i bought this guitar second hand from my local music shop for £235 down from £250 I think they cost about £400 - £450 new.
The best thing about this guitar would have to be the neck, it feels like silk and plays faster than linford christie with the drug inspectors after him. Its also very very thin (depth wise) ... which is nice. Then we move onto the pickups - 2 humbuckers and a singlecoil in the middle. The humbuckers are great, theyre so powerful, I play mainly punk stuff and they sound cool but I think heavy ass metals where they'd really shine. The singlecoil has a really trebly jangly tone which sound cool for indie n' stuff. Also you can get basically any lead sound so once again, pretty versatile.
Although I think the necks actually the same width as most standard guitars it feels wider because its flatter but you can get used to it fairly easily. To me the reverse headstock feels kinda weird but if i wasz into shred metal or something it would RAWK! SHRED! and other metal comments.
One word - perfect.
The only reason I gave it 4/5 was that I've had this guitar for a few months now and although it plays perfectly it still doesnt feel quite right unles im playinj it wit a short strap ( kirk hammett fast ass lead style) or mega low n bendin over ( every metal band on the planet style) but this could just be me so, try it out n if it feels ok buy it!
