"BUY IT"
Feature:
Jackson liscensed floyd rose!?!?!?! It's worth it. I would love to see 24, maybe even 25 frets instead of the 22 fret neckboard, but the guitar's prescence makes up for it
Quality:
This guitar screams "look at me!!!" It's great for gigs, I've played the hell out of mine. The only issue I had was that the finish on the tips was wearing a bit when it arrives, but some household black paints gets rid of that
Value:
Similar Jackson guitars sell around $1000 so if you're on a tight budget and want a great sound, this is the guitar for you. I was looking for the polka dots in my jackson, and this one is already as good as any other.
Desirability:
This guitar IS an attention grabber. Randy Rhoads should be the real attention grabber if you bring this guitar up in a coversation
Sound:
This guitar is excellent, never had any problems with the pick-ups it comes with. Don't worry about replacing the pick-ups, just throw it on a Marshall stack and it'll have an unbeatable sound.
Ease of Use:
The neck is great for sweeping and playing fast. The jumbo frets pretty much eliminate that annoying buzzing you get when playing low distortion or clean.
Support:
No idea, guitars worked perfectly
Overall:
Certainly worth buying whether you play blues, Classical guitar, Death Metal, or Thrash, considering I play all four. I would install new pick-ups to improve the sound, but it's worth it. I would certainly replace this guitar. Sure, I'll buy othe guitars, but this one will be a gig certain guitar for years

"Johnny's Dream"
Feature:
Simplicity is Key, Master volume and stright wired for tone so it always has bit and a three way pickups selecter not a whole lot more you could ask for. I also hear that the Jackson licensed Floyds are damn near as good as the real deal
Quality:
It's a Jackson they're on of my top three manufactures Jackson, ESP, Fender. my only quam with Jackson's is that they do not have a neck heal at the base of the headstock on the back side of the neck makeing the neck a little bit more likely to warp and bend at the piont where the two pices of wood (I.E. headstock and neck are acctually two diffrent pices of wood) are fused together.
Value:
Okay I think your getting a smokin deal especially for an Axe like this it's Jackson it's a Rhoads they all play beautifuly. My only quam again is the Duncan Desighned pickups
Desirability:
Dude it has F'n Polkadots it's Randy's dig man that was his thing. I'd gig the hell outta this guitar. It's an attention grabber for sure. It's Randy's signanture shape and his signature paint scheme. This thing SCREAMS spotlight solo to me.
Sound:
The only reason I'm giving it a nine is because the pickups are Duncan Designed not acttual Duncans, I plan on Changeing out the pickups for a SHN2 Jazz in the Neck and a SHTB4 JB in the bridge to capture Randy's tone. Though I dont want to coppy cat I want it to sound similar it is HIS design after all
Ease of Use:
It's a Rhoad's I have yet to come accross a Rohads that dosent play like butter bolt-on or not they all play amazingly well, I love the Jackson Necks thin and wide the make sweeping alot easier.
Support:
I've never had to deal with the support for my ESP and I dont see why I'd have to call the suport line for this Jackson, Jackson is one of the largest and most trrusted as well as one of the best known guitar manufactures in the world, they've been around since the early eighties I'd belive that, that stands to show they make a quality product if they didn't they wouldn't still be around
Overall:
Jacksons are amazing guitars. The vocalist in my band is buying this for me as a valentines gift we're ordering it next Sunday, which means it will show up on valentines day or a week before then. This guitar is no Joke everything I've ever wanted. It has the simplicity and ease of parts replacement of a bolt-on, a floyd and decent but not amazing stock pickups. Simplicity in electronics It's an amazing instrument.
