Style of Music: Thrash, Grindcore, Punk

Musical Experience: Hobbyist

Location: Kenosha, WI

Feature:
I also changed out the stock neck, but that's only because I have used the same neck for years and prefer it to anything else. The bridge is a simple, Gibson-style tune-o-matic and serves it's purpose well.

Quality:
As always, Jackson delivers quality guitars at all price points. The finish is beautiful, the parts are of good quality, and it just felt like a more expensive guitar right out of the box.

Value:
Excellent guitar for the price, as are all Jacksons.

Desirability:
How killer are V's? The King V is named as such for a reason, this guitar is the king!

Sound:
I pulled the Duncan Designed pups out and popped in an EMG-81 and 85. I was actually surprised at how beefy the tone was.

Overall:
I suspect I will play this guitar for a long, long time.

Feature:
All good, but prefer better pickups, but the Duncan Designed do very well for stock

Quality:
Actually alot nicer than I expected. Fast neck, very light. I will say though, its difficult to play while seated due to the shape

Value:
For what I paid, there are 0 complaints

Desirability:
Great metal axe if thats what your into. I have a Les Paul and would much rather play the Jackson for metal

Sound:
The low end is what I like. It isn't muddy like lots of guitars. I recommend changing the bridge pickup to a Seymore Duncan JB for the perfect metal tone

Support:
N/A

Quality:: 9 out of 10
Value:: 10 out of 10
Sound:: 8 out of 10

Submitted: 1/26/2005

Feature:
Actually has decent hardware for a guitar under $800, the bridge is decent quality and the tuners aren't loose like many lower end guitars.

Quality:
Very well made instrument for what it cost. Very sturdy, nice paint, and again decent hardware. The strings that came with it sucked, but that took all of 5 minutes to remedy.

Value:
You aren't going to get more guitar than this at this price. Excellent value.

Sound:
Change out the stocks pups as soon as you can. I put a JB4 in the bridge and a SH2 in the neck and this thing absolute screams now.
