i don't expect to be without this guitar,it has totally satisfied my guitar expectations.i am sure this guitar will be handed down to my son's but not before i'm gone.if i do want for another guitar it would have to be really special and using this one for trade would not be a thought at all,however i could see adding aother jackson to the collection as long as it feels as good and plays as easy and sounds as well.

Sound
wow!!! i had a feeling when i 1st saw this beautiful guitar,you know that tingle you get as a guy when you see that special something and can't get it out of your mind.that feeling that you know this purchase will change your life.well i was right this guitar has changed my playing so much.i have been given new hope in my learning.i went from a hand me down used&abused ibanez star maker to a cadilac.

Features
the features on this guitar are visable and easy to use.the chrome knobs turn smooth with no feedback,the pickup changer switch is smooth as well,the neck fits my hand like a pair of tight leather driving gloves and the action on it couldn't be smoother the floyd-rose is sooo sweet and it is smooth as well,altough it takes some effort to get new strings on and adjusted but that to me helps me to have more integrity as a musician.

Ease of Use
this guitar is so easy to play and the sounds that come from this beast range from clean country to distorted hard rock to… read more smooth jazz,i have had no problem getting the tone i want from this guitar.i went from a frustrated wannabee to a confident learning guitar player.i was able to get the sounds that kept me going and inspired my realilization that i can play and play well.

Quality
this thing is a beautiful beast.the quality is felt when you pick it up,and then as you wrap your hands around it,then reinforced by your eyes as you look over every inch,every little nich & creavice to the screws that hold it all together.not to mention the name brand products that make up the whole rig.two words quality,integrity.

Value
now that i know how well jackson products perform as long as the purchase amount makes since to me,then it will be worth it no matter the price.

Manufacturer Support
the only thing i can say because i havn't had to get a hold of the company again points to the fact that jackson guitars are well built pieces that contain quality parts,craftmanship,and attention to detail.jackson wants you to be satisfied with their products and i am sure that if or when i have a problem that their integrity will hold up as well.

The Wow Factor
very attractive,i believe in love at 1st site even in material things and that color is a very important part of sex appeal along with the accessories and abilities of the product.
