FMIC would have you believe this is the second coming of the golden age of USA-Made production Jacksons. It isn't. Don't get me wrong, they play and sound decent enough but so does a $750 MIJ Jackson used, and It will have nearly identical specs and likely better fretwork overall than one of these will. The fret ends on mine were god-awful out of the case, thankfully I am a luthier and I could fix it myself. Overall the setup aside from that was not amazing considering the money they're asking for this, mine fretted out pretty horribly after getting it to what I consider a normal setup for a Jackson, and i've owned 20+ of them and Charvels to boot. Spend your money elsewhere; There's tons of better deals secondhand that will sound nearly identical if you're willing to look around a bit. ~$2000 for this is not a good purchase financially.
