I love the sound immensely! The pickups had the bite I was looking for! The pickups are poor man's EMG's! I like the clean sound this guitar gets.

I love the slim neck! If you're looking for an Ibanez style neck paired up with a killer design even your Mom will love (like my Mom did), this thing is just what you're looking for. The only thing I don't like about this guitar is that the jack is on the bottom half of the cutaway, which, to me, makes the cord too obvious. Fix it, Jackson, and I'll buy another!

For the price, the quality is by far the best. This thing rarely goes out of tune, and I'm a heavy-handed plater. Nice paint job, too.

Jackson quality for the price of a sorry pawn shop copy!

No problems here.

As soon as I picked up this guitar, tried the neck, heard the sound, saw the price, I knew this guitar was looking for me!

this guitar rules it sunds metal enough for me. I play a lot of megadeth and testament and this guitar gives enough grind for both band . for testament solos this guitar rules for megadeth too. I do a lot of sweeping and this guitar is perfect for that. I would also recomend to put some duncan hot rodded pickups on this for an even better sound but dont be worried it sounds killer without them too. so hurry up and buy it.

it would be cool if it had sharkfin inlays but i barely care because they charge you $170 more for them and it wont change your sound.

no problems affect your tone or sound .

best v for the price

the sound of the product was unbeleivable. the fretboard was almost too comfortable to play on. The guitar is great for anything metal or rock. I play metal and my first choice for my guitar would be this one because it could climb up and down the fretboard with ease and precision.

With this guitar, it had duncan designed pickups that got to job done. I wired it through a Laney 120 watt amplifier, and the guitar was well suited with the sound.

It was almost too easy to get great sound from the product. it is very playable and the looks kill people when youre on center stage with it.

the product is made quite well and the fineshes are breathtaking. Ive use a metallic red and a metallic blue v and it will not be long before i order my own.

this guitar has almost impossible bang for the buck. I saw it being sold in a music store for $660. *gulp*

i have not bought this product...yet.

I would consider this guitar a neccesity for all lead metal players who are in a band and a active musician, if your just a hobbyist and just play for fun, don't take a step up to this. I would kill for this peice of equipment

the stock jackson pickups sucked...replaced the bridge pickup with a seymour duncan distortion the day i got it

easy to set up...love the hardtail....floyde rose's are too complicated..why get one if you don't use it.

had to replcae the volume pot...it crapped out two days after i got it..but that's only a 5 dollar part

great guitar if you wanna trash...looks and plays badass

The guitar has an excellent hold so you can pound on this strings for hours and they won't come untuned (at least, that's my experience with them).

"Is the product made well?" It's a Jackson! It's used by Kerry King of Slayer! Of course it's made well. It's sturdy and I believe I can through it through walls and it'll still be fine. The finish is excellent and it's fit is perfect.

Yes it is. I think it's better than a bargain

Thrash Metal

Very good sound if you are playing through a good amp. I play Metal and it's just awesome. Very good pickups for a low price.

I like the body and shape very much, but i wish it had a floyd rose on it. And also some pearl sharkfin inlays. (I will probably end up getting a Custom Made Jackson)

It was constructed very well. The finish is just perfect with no scratches and no bangs. I use it on the road and i dont worry at all. This guitar will last me really long.

This is an amazing value. For the price is just awesome.

Haha. The ladies love the Dark Metallic red. It's just really sexy and appealing to the eye.

you do not need anything to make this beast sound any better, because thsi guitar has it all!!!! hail metal!!!!

best looking design i have ever known from a guitar brand. jackson has it all in every category. flying v is my absolute fav. though!

this guitar like i said before is just plain awesome and i wouldnt think that any guitar brand could be able to design a better looking guitar!

i thought this flying v i got would be like exleast %500.00 until i found it on this site and then i was in pure astonishment! this baby is only %299.95!!!! and thats a great feeling to know when you can actually afford the best guitar known to man!

i love jackson guitars. i think that jackson has it all , and jackson is my fav. guitar brand!

oh yeah girls love it and they want me when they see me playing that crazy ass guitar on stage!!!! but i play a little hard to get, because its my guitar that needs the attention!!!!

im in a band called SEVERED FLESH in san antonio texas

speed metal, thrash metal, mercyful fate material!!!!

This guitar is perfect for thrash/ speed-metal (soloing). It will also get real close to if not exact, the same sound that Dave Mustaine has. I would definantly use this live for reasons that it can take a beating (dont slam it on anything), it shows whos boss on stage, and for easy soloing.

It's a great guitar but Jackson could have put some EMG's on it then you'd have some screamin' solos.

Very good instrument it's very easy to move around the neck. I had no trouble while using it.

This guitar like any other can be chipped or scratched if you're not careful, but it's very reliable on stage. I'd have 2 for the sake of having a mint condition one to make ppl jealous.

It would be worth the price if it had either seymore duncan or EMG pickups.

I have not yet needed any changes whatsoever on this guitar.

I'd give it a 30 for this. When you walk on stage with this guitar everyone immediately knows that hell is coming their way.

this guitar is awesome. i own the js king V and it rocks. my amp is a vox 15 watt valvetronix. over all this guitar sounds, looks, and feels great. for the price of 300 dollars this is a great guitar. my next goal is a randy roads 3 guitar. the js king V is awesome in black. my color.

the only bad thing about this guitar is it doesn't sit on your lap too well. get a vox ad15 watt valvetronix amp. rock on

personal taste great.....

awesome

it has good sustaine, and sounds awesome with full distortion. got a thick metal tone.

jackson. need i say more....

with a 200 price tag its awesome value.

This guitar is perfect for a beginning guitarist. The sound on it is nice (especially if ur running it on a Marshall amp =) and a digitech pedal) The quality is great. Ive dropped it a few times and still plays like it did when i took it out of the box. If ur looking to perfect ur solo-ing i recommend this guitar. For the price u pay not only is this guitar affordable but u can get all the girls attention with it too =P

Everything is good but i sure do wish tehy would've added a whammy bar. That would have made it the perfect "bang for ur buck"

It is built to last. As ive said before this guitar has gone through abuse now (1 year that weve been married) and still works like a charm.

Compared to other guitar i say dont get this one if ur into punk oir lighter stuff. This is meant for metal!!!

I havent had to take it in to the shop so i wouldnt know...

With the wings on it omg it just makes me wanna shred the sh*t out of those strings!!!!
