This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "The Best You Can Buy"

Sound: I really like the sound of it. I've owned and used this guitar since I was 8 years old, and I'm 15 now. So, I've had plenty of experience with it. This is the best beginner guitar versus the too-common Fenders...But is also an incredible guitar for the advanced player. It sounds nice all over. The humbucker pickup in the back is quite a treat. For as many different sounds of pickups...There's some that don't quite have enough distortion, or there's some that cut off a little bit on the treble or bass. This is perfect. I listened to the sounds compared to a Gibson Explorer. The Explorer has a hotter pickup...But, has some clip off of the treble. With this guitar a roll of the tone knob it will sound exactly the same! It may seem like a guitar for only beginners...But, it isn't. It has great sound. If you play on larger amplifiers like a stack or high wattage combo, the outcome Feature: The components and hardware are kind of cheap. This includes the tremolo system, potentiometers, 1/4" input jack, and tuners. The pickups are surprisingly good. When I bought it...I got no accessories. Quality: The body is great. The paintjob is excellent. The only downside and the real truth about the cheaper guitars is simply: hardware. I had to replace the input plug because it was so low quality...They didn't even use spring steel to hold the plug in. There were certain times when the plug would just fall out from plugging and unplugging it from the cable so many times. Jackson also uses extremely low quality potentiometers in this guitar. I just replaced the volume pot. And am assuming the tone pot will go out next. Value: This is the best priced guitar. If you're thinking about buying a telecaster or stratocaster for the low low price. You should really make a second thought. Manufacturer Support: I have had no experiences under warranty. But, I have done upgrades. I did have to upgrade some hardware...Because it malfunctioned or did not work properly over use. I replaced the volume potentiometer with a Cor-Tek B500K. Then I also did not use the tremolo system. When ever I tried to use it...The strings would go out of tune. This was a cheap tremolo system. So what I did was open up the back and take a small block of wood and stuff it in between the guitar body and the bridge. This locked it down and gave it incredible sustain. Even more than a Les Paul! The Wow Factor: I really like this guitar overall. It looks like the standard guitar. But, when you play it...You learn to love it. And then after a few modifications and upgrades in parts. $20 can make this guitar feel like a million. I fell in love with it EVEN MORE after I got it. Overall: I'm very happy. I may never buy another guitar after all I've done to this one.

"Highly Recommended great guitar w/ exceptional feel. Fair price!"

Sound: This instrument has very good sound. I am currently playing thru an old Charvel amp w/ a 6" speaker. However I heard this thru a Marshall of considerable better quality & it sounded great. That will be my next purchase. I am planning on upgrading the humbucker w/ a Dimarzio Super Distortion, and a Wilkinson Tremolo. Perhaps I will decline on these upgrades if they exceed the price I payed for the guitar. The reason I bought this item was to learn to play lead. It has served its purpose well. I might add this insrument has an extremely fast neck & great feel that is what sold me as I am only a beginner in playing lead. It also keeps tune very well I have to tune maybe once a week & I play 2-3 hrs a day. Now ask my wife how well she likes it & u will "hear" a much different story!! HA HA Quality: The quality I would like to address!! As I said before I am not that familiar w/ electric guitars but I have noticed the input jack comes loose every time I pick it up & that I dont like being htat it is fairly new, or maybe this is normal?? I am going to inquire further for a reasonable fix. The tremolo isnt the best but as I said b-4 this will be one of the first upgrades, however it does stay tuned quite well. Value: I would definitely say yes. I shopped around quite a bit lookin @ much more expensive items but still bought this one because of its feel!! Overall: My next purchase will be either be a higher quality Jackson or a Peavey Wolfgang.
