Feature:
I especially love the maple neck, it makes the body look great, and stands out very well. I also really like the tremolo unit. I've always been fond of the Floyd Rose tremolo (well in this case Jackson tremolo, licensed under floyd rose.), and it works very well. I also really like the pickups. But, I think it would be a little better if it had EMG's, but thats just me.
Quality:
This guitar is very well built, and it is built under a great brand name. I also like that Jackson didn't put all of there things in it (Such as Jackson pickups, Jackson Tremolo, etc.) I like how they used other brands, I hate when companys only use there own brand things. And otherwise, it doesn't seem to dent easily, and it is a very reliable guitar.
Value:
This guitar is 100% worth the cost. It is very affordable for most people, and its a great guitar.
Desirability:
The guitar looks very sleek and glossy and of course the neck gets you too. It feels great, because it is slim, and the neck is the same way as well. Buy it, for looks, quality, and sound.
Sound:
This guitar sounds great. The Seymour Duncans sound amzing and are great for tapping. It's actually a little bit a change for me since I'm used to EMG's, but it still sounds great compared to the EMG's. The sound gets anywhere for jazz to metal, and makes me sound great. I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard with EMG 85 and 81, and It sounds great compare to them.I got this because I had played it before and the sound was great, even if you are used to more expensive guitars, like me, you should still get it for the sound.
Ease of Use:
This guitar is very easy to use. It is very playable, with the fast neck allowing you to play fast. The pickups are spread far enough apart so you don't hit them while playing, ang the Volume and tone knobs are not in the way, while you play.
Support:
No service needed.
Overall:
I expect this guitar to last for a long time, and not need, if any upgrades, becuase its parts are already great. This guitar is worth the money and I recommend it to any rock, metal, hard-rock, guitarist. If you don't like the open pickups, buy it anyway and get some new ones. I compared this to a little cheaper Ibanez RG, and I love both brands of guitar, they both had pretty much the same features, fast neck, sleek body, and tremolo units, but the only difference was the Ibanez had EMG designed pickups. I decided to get this becuase if I wanted EMG's, I'd get the really thing. But, all in all this is a great guitar, and a great buy.
