This guitar is made in Japan, it has 24 frets. The pickups are Duncan Design (not real, but it sounds great anyway). Personally, I set up a Dimarzio FRED in the bridge, and that makes ...
A humbucker in bridge, and two singles. The bridge is licensed Floyd Rose and it's very effective, it does not move a hair (no play wear). I've had a lot of guitars with this type of bridge, and there, there is nothing wrong ...
Settings very simple tone and volume over the 5-way switch. (A small negative point, and this is the only knob the volume very quickly forged contacts, so you have to change it, but hey, it costs € 3 and it is a defect common to all Jacksons ...).
That said, the principal of this guitar and this gives him a point ahead of all the stratabound is that it has to face. This has made the reputation of Jackson, their guitars, they are beautiful, especially at this price. Some say it's a Japanese two balls, but I will warranty the finish is really terrible.

UTILIZATION

The handle is the end (not as an Ibanez, but almost), very nice, varnished wood glides really well, not like a gibson :-))
Access to the highs is easy. In terms of ergonomics, is a stratabound, so it looked pretty good from the start, the body is worked well marry the body and can play very well in a sitting position ...
The weight is fairly standard.
Otherwise, the overall quality of the instrument, because we can easily get harmonics anywhere on the sleeve.

SOUNDS

Jackson, it sounds decidedly METAL, having said that the palette of sounds that can be obtained is very wide.
Still playing with the tone you can really do a lot ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for the month of August 2002, I bought it because it is beautiful, but the volume knob me drunk until I change.
The price / quality ratio is its strong point (about 600 €)
