Overview
Great things come in small packages! Jackson JS Series guitars take an epic leap forward, making it easier than ever to get classic Jackson tone, looks and fast playability without breaking the piggy bank. The Rhoads "Minion" JS1X is perfect for lil' shredders or grownup road dogs who need an easy-traveling instrument jampacked with the features they love.
The 2/3-scale JS1x Rhoads offers a poplar body, speedy bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods, and 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard which hosts 24 jumbo frets and Jackson's classic sharkfin inlays. Other features include 22.5" scale length, rear-angled headstock for even tension (reducing playing fatigue), die-cast tuners, angled neck plate, dual high-output Jackson humbucking pickups, threeway blade switching, jet black hardware, and string-through-body hard-tail bridge for massive tone, and jet black hardware, including a classic Strat-style jack plate.

"Reasonable Expectations"

This is a cool little guitar. I bought it for the novelty of it, to jam on the couch with and to travel with. It's exactly what is advertised. Consider the price point and adjust your expectations accordingly. Mine is solid and resonant, with no sharp fret edges etc... the neck joint seems nice and snug. The hardware is decent. The pickups are surprisingly pleasant. Clear with lots of bite, and respond well to pick dynamics and volume changes. They're no Duncan's or dimarzios, but I don't feel the need to rush out and change them tomorrow... The machine heads are a little sketchy, and it'd be nice to get a gig bag considering how difficult it will likely be to find one, but overall a nifty little guitar.
