UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, accurate, fast, very fast access to acute super easy.
Like all forms of stratabound Jackson, the handling is impeccable both sitting and standing, very good balance.
The weight is for me a guitar cataloged according to Metal (not the subject, music!) Is not light but lighter than a LP.
I bought mine used, the first owner had the bright idea of ​​replacing the pickups of origin (of Jackson at the time) by Di Marzio (an Al DiMeola DP 202 to DP 110 and a bridge to the handle the center was always the Jackson home, but I changed to a passive Emg S3).

SOUNDS

Guitar made for metal, it's good, that's what I like to play, Megadeth, Kreator, Metallica, Testament, ...
I play on PC through my Digitech RP-3 and even then it is bluffing.
Clean sound of DP 110 is beautifully colored crystal remaining in distortion, it's a great warm sound with beautiful harmonic.
EMG S3 to Start a typed (without the noise!) In both clean crunch,
I just change the DP 202 with a EMG 60 Active, it's amazing the difference is a real weapon of mass destruction. Phenomenal power crunch as clean, crystal clear harmonics, but happiness, just have to change by a simple two EMG EMG S and SA for LA Machine

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a few weeks and it immediately became my favorite.
I paid € 400 and for that price, I could not expect better.
Excellent quality / price / performance with the added super look Jackson
