Israel O.: La guitarra llegó rápido y muy bien empaquetada en doble caja. La guitarra bellisima, suena increíble (la tenemos conectadas a un amplificador BlackStar), esta es una de esas compras de la que dices Guau.

Marcin: This is a visually beautiful guitar. However the sound quality is very strictly geared towards heavily distorted music. Even on the clean settings on a guitar amp it produces deeper and less clear sounds. It is not a guitar for classic songs or someone wanting to play chords, arpegios etc.

Dennis: This is my 4th Guitar i’ve bought and theres not really anything wrong with the guitar except it does detune. I’ve read a couple comments about the guitar that has negative reviews saying things like the guitar has flaws, which I dont think it does. Its a great beginner guitar for what you spend and its a good guitar if you just want to have something that will look nice to encourage you to play with it. I own 3 other guitars other than this guitar which are the (Kirk Hammetts ESP 602, Jackson JS1X Randy Rhoads, and Kirk Hammetts Spider ESP) which are all amazing guitars way more expensive then this guitar combined, the only things you would possibly need to upgrade if you want to make this a better guitar, are (locking tuners and different strings) besides all that this is an amazing $200 guitar that would probably last long.

The shipping is good, my delivery driver was amazing he made sure the guitar was handed to me nicely with caution, my guitar arrived on time and there was 0 flaws in the packaging because it was packaged very well and in good condition.

If you are looking for a good, fun, and well made guitar while on $180-250 budget i’d say definitely...

Allen: This is the 6th guitar I have and maybe the 9th I've ever owned. I bought this guitar cuz I like the Jackson compound radius neck (I have an RR1) and its super cheap and I wanted a guitar just for always being tuned down 1 whole step (DGCFAD)
Well I got it 2 months ago and yes I love the neck, the tuners however are pure crap though. The tremolo rests on the body tightly and even never touching the tremolo bar the things out of tune as soon as you touch the strings for more than 2 minutes. I was no lie CONSTANTLY adjusting the tuning. Made me regret buying it a little but I bought some decent ($45) locking tuners and swapped them out and the difference was night and day. I frigging love this cheapo guitar now with locking tuning pegs!
The pickups are bottom of the line I'm sure but I don't know what they sound like as this is just a knock around practice guitar and I'm (no lie) yet to plug it in for the first time. I'm assuming they work lol. If they dont I'll replace them too.
So in my opinion buy this good looking guitar (I love the look and feel of the satin flat black) and be thankful that it's super cheap but know you have to spend another $45 or so and put in some...

Amazon Customer: Great heavy metal sound, feel and appearance! Actually thought they sent me JS32 on accident got a little excited but it is the JS22 😆. I've own Dean, Epiphone and Fender this is a great guitar for any player.

Januray: First of all great product, the action of the neck is a bit weird but it's fast (maybe switching strings to a heavy or medium) the pickups are great solid for pro players who like to adjust the distortion on their amps. The body and is mint it's quite light for a metal guitar, this guitar however needs gentle and clean hands because of the satin finish. The only problem I really have is the strings they are not my cup of tea and I could definitely tell that if your a shredder you need to change them. For rhythmic playstyle it's good but it's a set of factory strings so what more can I say?

Jack A. Loganbill: I own a couple of Jackson guitars and decided this would be great for my grandson. It arrived early and double boxed, perfect condition. It is nicely made and love the arched-carved top. Tuned it up and it played beautifully. No buzz, great action, and the Jackson fretboard is the best...jumbo frets, great radius, super easy to play. I played it clean and with high gain and it sounded great...the hardware is not the greatest, but tuners are smooth and it stays in tune. Who knows, I might buy one for me!!!! For $200 you can't beat it. For $300, well you can get its better brother so moot point.
