JacksonJS12 Dinky Electric Guitar - Metallic Red

I love this guitar. I never understood the "pay $3000 for a guitar, and get the same sound" mentality.I'm a beginner. So I first went to look at these at Guitar Center. One of the staff is a great guitar player, so he pulled a US model similar in all ways except the neck was thicker. He made that guitar sing and it was sweet. He then took this same model, plugged it in and there was nearly no difference is sound. I only say nearly because there was some low E string buzz on the frets. Properly tuned, and adjusted to lift Low E up a tad and you'd be hard pressed to hear the difference. The US made model was $1700 used, close to $2000 new. They even had the same gorgeous red paint.I ordered this right away. I didn't want a used one. This came a full two days earlier than expected and I'm happy as can be. Because this neck is thinner, it fits my hands much better, or rather my hands fit the neck better. Now with a proper guitar, I'm quickly learning to play.The upgrade recommendations I was given was to replace the passive pickups with active pickups, because I'm a huge metal head. But, I'd like to get more comfortable playing stuff with a clean sound before I try shredding. For that, I'll just buy another and put active pickups on it. Maybe I'll get a black or green model for that. But if you're looking for an inexpensive electric guitar, but not cheaply made, this is a great buy. There have been some, though few, complaints about the fret heights or being rough and sticking over the edge of the fretboard. Just exchange it though Amazon.I do recommend buying good cables. Cheap cables will give you a ground hum and you'll thing it's the guitar. It's the cable. I also recommend buying a stand or hanging hooks. I bought the Amazon Basics bass and guitar stand and it's great, but also low cost without being cheap.I would highly recommend this guitar to both beginners and experts alike and UP THE IRONS! \m/

love this guitar. named it too.

Beautiful guitar definitely well made, luv it!!!

Initial review 1: Came early, it’s a beautiful guitar real happy with purchaseUpdate #1: The guitar started showing some issue with a problem that is Very common but as soon as I informed the seller he approved the return. I would Highly recommend them they stand by their productUpdate #2: just refunded but was shy $45 for a restock fee!! Unacceptable when the guitar has a defective fret piece that was coming apart. Why am I paying restock fee for that!??!Update #3: So no reply from seller on why he charged me a restock fee of $45 when he sold me a defective guitar. The cost to fix this issue in guitar works have been over $100 for me so that’s why I returned it giving the seller the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t know about the issue. But his actions now, charging me that fee and ignoring my messages to him concerning the fee, leads me to think he knew And was trying to get over on somebody with this guitar.I would not recommend this seller and caution any transactions with himUpdate 5: They finally responded and blasted me for the defective fret! Said it was from over tightening the strings! And that the guitar has a waxy type substance all over it which that’s bs! Been playing guitar for over 30 years and not once have I ever over tighten strings in anything.Stay away because that won’t stand behind a defective product

Only thing is the selector switch sucks

Another one added to my collection. Thank you Jackson!
