UTILIZATION

These guitars really do rival the USA models in nearly every aspect. First of all, the guitar felt great in terms of overall weight. The guitar even has similar specs as most of the USA models, so you can do a direct comparison, almost. The neck felt great, and the fretwork was top notch. The floyd on this is actually a pretty solid floyd, and I've used it in the past without any issues. It's very similar to the Schaller, if not the same. The flame maple top on this was very striking, and the construction was up there with the best.

SOUNDS

This guitar sounded phenomenal. The guitar had EMGs installed in it which weren't the stock pickups. I forget what they were, but they were similar to EMGs in terms of looks. The guitar had an EMG 81 in the bridge and an EMG 60A in the neck. The EMG 81 in the bridge had some nice cut going on, but the mahogany wings helped calm down some of that treble that's normally associated with the 81. It was a very nice marriage of proper pickup choice and woods. The 60A in the neck was great for cleans, and I personally prefer the 60A to the 60 in most situations as it tends to sound a bit warmer. Lead tones were almost single coil-esque, and it got a pretty cool tone that most other neck humbucker guitars don't seem to exhibit.

OVERALL OPINION

If you can find one of these at a good price, I recommend jumping on it. These are the well kept secret in the Jackson lineup. The quality is super high, and they sound amazing. The necks on them, the fretwork, everything seems to be just as good as the USA models out there.

UTILIZATION

In terms of playability it's Jackson. the guitar is quite heavy, indicating a dense wood well

SOUNDS

Well I mainly play metal, and it is really very good for this style. but it can linger on the clean sound is really not bad, I had a little apprehension with the emg records in blues / rock / clean but compensates the violin beautifully.
I currently use a VHT sig: X which allows me to really enjoy this guitar.

following settings can be approached Gibson sounds while maintaining gameplay amazing.

rather it is built for the heavy riffs and shred that stain.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it about a month and she really won! I have another archtop jackson (a Sweetone) and these two guitars complement each other well.
I cracked when I saw the announcement and does not expect to have such a good sound!
in my quest for the grail, I tested many guitars. it completes my collection for his personality.

it is extremely difficult to get and I wish all the fans of the brand!

I would do this without any hesitation choice
