I have had the Fury, a couple months or so, give or take a bit. This is a solid, well-built guitar. I have a thing for white guitars, to begin with, so this was a no-brainer for me. Additionally, I like an explorer shaped guitar.I am no stranger to EMG Active Pickups, so the 81 and 60 are or were not strangers. In terms of which would be better in the neck, for some it would be a toss-up, a 60 or an 85. I like both, actually, but in this instance, the 60 has proven itself to be a solid asset, for our music. That being, Celtic Metal.The fit and finish right out of the box was superb, just a little tuning, and minor tweaks. Playability is superb and given its neck-through body constructed, you can feel the solidness and stability throughout. Add to this string-through body, and you've immense sustain for days. It is a metal guitar, that's a given. In my humble opinion, it is far better looking than an Explorer.The neck's fretboard is solid, the frets are well dressed, so no tweaking there. Tuning stability is rock solid, compared to some of the guitars I've owned. Controls are well laid out, comfortable. EMG pickups are pretty constant in sound and tone, across the board, with guitars. You may find a minor difference between tone woods, but not enough to warrant concern. It depends on your flavor of music, as well as being subjective.I have played a couple shows with it, thus far, to which it has stood up to everything I've given it. I play aggressively and hard... the Fury handled it with ease and asked for more. The Explorer shape can be or seem, to some, a bit much. However, it is well balanced and comfortable whether standing or sitting, when playing.Given the quality of the Fury, it is more than well worth its price. Jackson has another winner.

This guitar came out of the box near ready to play. I had to adjust the floyd rose some stretch and tune strings. " Tighten string locks!!!" Other than that the neck was perfect with no fret buzz. Amazing EMG sound.To anyone buying this guitar Jackson offers a special fit case for it. Jackson Annihilation hardshell part # 2994874100.
