Probably the best guitar ive owned. Great quality, great sound, great price. Definately nothing compares in the price range. And pickup configuration is very comparable to a EMG 81 and 60 combo. Great guitar. I bow to Jackson.

Sound
The sound quality is great. The Seymour Duncans are really nice and have a sharp attack that i like. They are extremely responsive to your picking style and pick up harmonics very well. All the notes in my chords ring through. And my leads are searing on the bridge pickup but also can be smooth and jazzy on the neck pickup. The Neck Pickup has a great clean sound compared to my EMG 60 in my ESP guitar. Great sound. Probably some of the best pickups out there. And they make a wonderful pair.

Features
Well the Liscensed Floyd Rose is really nice. Not as nice as an Original Floyd but still excellent. Hasnt gone out of tune yet. Nice.

Ease of Use
Well you have to know how to restring a Floyd but other than that there is no problem.

Quality
Well when i got it one knob was not on so i just screwed it back on. But the overall guitar build is excellent. Also the action was really nice when i got it, i still havnt messed with it yet. The quality of the neck is superb. Its nice and fast. Feels sturdy, and the fretboard is amazing, its really easy on the hands for solos and such. I have the snow white version and i must say, it is gorgeous.… read more The quality of the wood and the overall look is astounding. The scalloped heel really does help playing the bolt-on easier. And the headstock looks godly with the natural finish.

Value
Worth much more than the price your paying. Its practically a steal for the price. I would even compare this to and ESP in the Deluxe range. Great quality. It could only be better if it was set-neck or neck-thru, but either way, amazing.

Manufacturer Support
Never dealed with them yet.

The Wow Factor
I would buy this again in a heartbeat. Great buy, I love Jackson now. I love this guitar so much i might buy another one or buy a DK2M. Amazing, buy it!
