Guitar made in Japan in 1992, Ash body arched top, handle screwed enough Round 22 frets rosewood fingerboard, frets Standard tremolo Schaller licensed Floyd. Mechanical Jackson. Micros original Jackson / Charvel in config MSM (rare), 5-position selector "to strato". A volume and tone.

UTILIZATION

The handle has a round profile and wide enough and is very comfortable. The coating on the handle is amazing quality.
The body is rather small and thin, which makes the guitar very sexy and easy to wear and feel is that of a strat, but without the notch for the forearm.
Access to acute is good without being transcendent (I tasted the handle from driver!), Knowing that stops 22 frets on this guitar. The fingerboard is very good.
The varnish is of a quality that I have rarely seen on a guitar.

SOUNDS

The original sound is not bad but still pretty dirty ... I would have put 5 or 6 of origin.
In fact, this shovel earns a lot to see his microphones upgraded. I ended up a set of Seymour TB6, SSL and SH1 and it became a massacre! With split pickups, it gives a very wide and the violin brings a personality to the whole.
I was amazed that a mid-range guitar like this now so its kind. The guitar took dust and now it rivals in terms of sensations with my other shovels that rate 3-5 times its price.
I play on the ENGL tube and where it excels the most is plain / crunch on all mic positions and saturated neck pickup (Seymour SH1 powaaaah).

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 15 years since I hang this faithful Jackson, she took the loaves, but remained always super reliable. She became a little vintage eighties now and it gives a fiery temperament!
And since the change of microphones, she saw. 24 cases in the same driver would handle close to perfection.
If you see one in passing secondhand, go for it before it is me who takes!
