JacksonJS Series JS32T King V - Gloss Black

I bought this guitar to try out a V shape. First of all I think it's a very nice guitar at the price point. It stays in tune. It's super light, so light I thought nothing was in the box. I personally like the unfinished neck it's smooth. Playing this guitar is easy sitting down. You just need to play it in classical position. The pickups are fine they have plenty of output. If you're buying a guitar like this you are most likely playing high gain distortion. So if you're into "tone wood" and insert name pickups this is not the axe for you. The rest of us that know "tone wood" and overly expensive pickups don't mean a whole lot with high gain, buy it and try it.

Another beautifully crafted Jackson guitar. I have always wanted a V style guitar and Gibson is always overpriced plus I don't like the round edges of the original Gibson Flying V. The JS32T is very comfortable to play. Lightweight, pretty well balanced and the neck is perfect for beginners or experts, very smooth. I was shocked at how good the guitar sounded. Usually you get a lot of feedback from cheaper guitars, not these and they sound great. My only complaint is that the pickup selector switch feels kind of cheap and I do think I'm going to replace it with something more solid so the whole guitar feels nice and tight.I'm having a blast with this thing. It's so much fun to play and the neighbors tell me it sounds great and "loud". Smoke on the Water never sounded so good! Probably going to pick up a Jackson Kelly next.

I love the neck and pickups. I was gifted this and an not a huge metal player, I play the blues with this thing and she sings! great guitar for whatever you want to play. it's also light but still has great tone and sustain, oh and did I mention the neck is fast playing and easy playing. did I mention the neck!

i bought this guitar as a christmas present to myself and I love it! i have played a lot of guitars but none were as comfortable as the v shape which is why i but it. i love the classical position because its alot easier to get up to the higher frets and keep a more ergonomic wrist shape while i shred. however this shape isn't for everyone so make sure to actually play a v before getting this cause not everyone thinks its as cool as i do. i only have 2 complaints with this guitar and my first is that the neck isn't as smooth as some of the other guitars i have played but i think it was likely one of the features that had had to be stripped away to make the guitar more affordable, which is exactly why i bought the guitar. my second complaint is that the strap button is placed exactly where your knee would be when playing the guitar. this wasn't too much of an issue for me tho because all i had to do was unscrew it from its first position and screw it onto the back of the guitar but now it has a little bit of neck dive which kinda sucks but ya know, it happens. overall i still like it and these weren't deal breakers for me especially considering the cheap price. i purchased this guitar with the intention of modding it and it was the perfect little guitar to do so. i changed out the jackson stock pickups for emg 81/85s, swapped out the tuners for guyker locking tuners and threw on some strap locks to keep the strap from falling off where i changed the position to the back. now it plays better than my bc rich guitar which costed $900. however, all these mods aren't necessary. the pickups are really nice they have a very bright high end and beefy low end without sounding muddy. one thing i definitely like about this guitar more than my bc rich is the low end. this things sounds huge! this thing is good for beginners and pros alike if you're on the fence about this thing, don't be. its an awesome guitar. super awesome platform for mods and super awesome for just playing how it is. but please jackson if you see this, please for the love of everything stop putting the strap buttons where my knee goes. I can tolerate neck dive but not having my knees impaled. i shouldn't have to go through the trouble of screwing the strap buttons into the back of my guitar as a customer, hence the four stars instead of five.

i added a Dave Mustaine thrash factor pickup and good strings. I may change out tuners if they bother me enough. Plays great neck is good frets are good guitar is light very little neck dive with my strap.

So good i love it. But it did have a problem. I out new strings and it kept buzzing past the 12 fret. I rised the action and still happend and lowered where it barley stopped, still there but mot to bad. Overall really good guitar

All 24 frets had the worst cuts and gouges I've ever seen. It was impossible to do vibrato or bends on these damaged frets out of the box. I spent $110 on a fret file and polishing kit and 10 hours of work doing 24,000 swipes (1,000 per fret) of the file and sanding blocks to fix it. It really does take that much effort to grind down enough material to flatten the 1mm deep cuts.Therefore, the true price of this guitar is closer to $700 considering the cost of tools + 10 hours of your time.This guitar has bad neck dive, too, so I moved the metal button that holds the guitar strap from the original mounting location on the body to the neck plate, which is closer towards the headstock and reduces neck dive. To do so, I had to get the metal button machined and bored wider for the bigger screw, and I had to buy a longer screw at a hardware store. Most flying Vs have this problem.There is fret buzz, but you won't notice it when playing with headphones. Maybe the fret buzz can be reduced by adjusting the truss rod, but I haven't tried that.The positives: good intonation and almost no hum/buzz/static from the electronics. Subjectively it sounds better (more raw, less muddy) than my Schecter Omen with Nazgul pickups.

Plays great and arrived in perfect condition!
