Got myself a JS32 as my first guitar. It was a lot of money for me but I got to compare it to other models from different brands in the store - and the Jackson pickups were just so much better! Also appreciate that all Jackson guitars just have "Jackson" put on their headstocks, no budget line markings or anything.
This has been my main axe for a year now, hesitant about buying a cheap guitar but this is the best guitar i have bought in 20 years of playing guitar. dont think about it buy it. its a perfect build perfect neck. if it were not for the plastic nut it would be a 10/10. Just ordered a js32 coming this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to read! Such good value for money too. My only gripe really is the tuners but that can be said of guitars costing 2-3 times! Thank you for commenting and watching, much appreciated
You said for years? I have a question for you about the 2-point fulcrum tremolo, is it adjustable? Like can I make it a little more loose or do I have to break that thing in?
i subscribed in like the first couple of seconds, your tone your attitude is just so optimistic and makes me feel happy. keep up the great work my dude!
Awww ☺️ that’s so kind! Really really appreciate the kind words! I’m a terrible player but enjoy guitars. I have a playlist of reviews if that’s your thing. Thanks again. Rich
I have to say I REALLY like the look of that guitar with the while body and very dark fretboard…. What a looker 😍 Big trem block too 😲👍 15 kohm in resistance on the bridge is perfect for shedding with some lead tone 🤘7-8 kohm is perfect for cleans on the neck 👍
I ABSOLUTELY love Jackson. From JS22 up. I have this white one with D’addorio locking tuners and white EMG 81/85’s on it. White humbucker rings around the EMG’s. 😍 I also own the natural wood JS22, a Satin Black JS32 and the American Virtuoso in Satin Black.
I take full responsibility for you buying a white Jackson! :D Quite surprised you managed to find a new JS22, I've been looking at the updated JS24 model for a mod guitar to mess around with. You'll have to let us know how you feel about the compound radius fretboard, but these guitars are annoyingly good value. If you're after an affordable shred machine, you really can't go wrong with these if a super thin Ibanez neck isn't your thing. Shred \m/
I like the neck. I’ve had 2 before and enjoyed them both. I love white guitars but if of stock most places. This one came from Peach Guitars as did the Starla. I’m looking forward to getting to know it again but right now I’m thinking it’s a win!
Everyone has their own favorites some do it because of value only I personally don’t give a 💩 about how much it cost imo Jackson is my favorite and best guitars to play I love them ! I have the Flying V a king V a dinky and and a Kelly JS32 in Snow White the dinky 22 is a phenomenal guitar sounds great from factory to!
If you like Jackson's necks - which I love, but some people seem to find them odd - you can buy these guitars without thinking about it, even better if second hand. CNC cut bodies are really good nowdays and onewood is irrelevant in electric guitars What really matters is having a great neck and a good bridge. Of course they'll need a setup if you can't do that on your own and with the time you can (you will do that if really want to enjoy this guitar) swap bridge and maybe pickups.
I love the look of the dinky and would of had one if it had a 5way selector like the ibanez rg421, where you can have the 2 inner coils for a stratty tone.
Awww thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Means the world to me, thank you. I have a playlist with lots of my novice guitar reviews (50+ I think now) so feel free to have a look. What kind of guitars and music are you in to?
I got one yesterday, frets were horribly ruff. I'll be replacing the budget strings and tuners and polishing frets. I mean it's dirt cheap, so be prepared to do some work and a few upgrades.
WOW looks like my brothers older Charvell, +/- 30 yrs, and his one has 3 individual pick up selectors - plays a dream still and I might just do a couple of vids with it shortly now that you have gone and bought a similar geet! She's a beaaut mate, metal guitar all the way - 24 frets?
Oh Rich, how are you doing that, just in time while I was eyeballing one! Inconspicious little guitars with great necks aren't they. I like howJackson is backing up their name with no factory-second trem size, no secondary brand (Fender-Squier or Gibson-Epi), even the pickups state full Jackson name.....seems they dont have anything to be ashamed for? :) Still I think they are kinda dedicated heavy guitars, I think it's the similar type of guitar like Bullet Mustang, these just like high gain, the higher the better....but ..how you like it for some blues-rock music? Had a lot of fun this time, specially when you were fighting the packaging and WFT moment 5:35s :D :D Looking forward for some serious tone demos :) :)
Yes I think Jackson are doing a good job at lower price points, better than many as you say. I'll play you some clean tones, you'll be surprised how well it cleans up. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
I've had mine since about 2016, a black left hand. Hard to find anything lefty, so i scooped it when I saw it. The neck is lovely, indeed. Hadn't played it in years, but had it setup recently. Any thoughts on a nut for it? Been thinking of swapping with gotoh tuners as well.
Thanks for sharing. Tuners well worth an upgrade I think, weakest point of the guitar. Maybe lube the net and get roller trees and, easier than a new nut and should do the job
Thank you buddy! Lots of other reviews if you’re interested, there’s a playlist with many of them. Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated 👍🏻
Hi buddy It was new from an online store and this is as it came, safe and sound 👍🏻. Plenty more unboxing and reviews in my playlist if that’s your thing. Thank you for watching and commenting
@@thenovicenoisemaker the main question I have is can I play anything on any guitar or does it have to be a les paul for heavier tones or a strat or tele for cleaner tones ?
Hello there lefty! This is a great guitar especially for the money. What are your favourite metal bands? Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated 👍🏻
@@thenovicenoisemaker so you didn't like it enough to keep it? I have a Jackson dinky pro dk3QM that I absolutely love. It also cost over 1000$ but I paid 850 for it basically new/used. All I did was upgrade all the screws to titanium ones. Including the Floyd Rose posts, and an upgraded German nut. I play in B standard, so I needed the extra reinforcements.
@@Jupiter2ignite B standard, wow! Reinforcements lol, yes for sure. Sounds like great guitar. I'm a bit of a traditionalist with guitars, boring I know but teles, strats and LP's are more my thing first and foremost
@@thenovicenoisemaker I'm a hot rodded strat kind of guy as well but yeah I definitely needed the reinforcement lol. I've gotten it playing very very good. I'm super impressed with this guitar and how low I'm able to get the action even with 12 gauge strings. I'm using the mammoth slinkys
From the guy who walked past at 5 mins in, I'll try and appear in more videos from the nest... 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Niiiice.🤘 I swear, the quality of the JS line from Jackson is shockingly good. They deliver alot of guitar for the price they go for.
Totally agree Jay, cost the same as a Squier affinity! Crazy. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏻
its almost criminal.
5:35 that guy wanted to see the guitar too 😂
Haha didn’t he just 😂
I had this one. complete metal machine and the most comfortable neck I've ever used, I miss it :(
I’d forgotten how nice these actually. Really glad I bought another one. You’ll have to try and get another one too Yasar
Haha at 5:36 the guy that walks past and has a cheeky look through the window. Lol

Haha 😆
That’s a bargain too, great value guitars
@@thenovicenoisemaker TOO SEXY HOT to pass up. I Look the part when I hold it.

white guitars look awsome, idk why but it's just something about them that makes them so beautifull
Agreed! White guitars are my favourite 🤩
Was just looking at the JS22 on Amazon and shortly after your vid pops up and confirmed my purchase...thankyou!! New sub from me 🤘🏻🖤🤍
Great news and thank you!
Let know what to think of it when it arrives.
Rich
how did it go? any issues?
@Mateo I like it alot but considering I play in mostly drop tunings I need to get some thicker strings
@@DressagePonyQueen oh alright thanks for replying.

here in Colombia it is worth 350 dollars I would like to have this guitar but I do not have money many congratulations greetings from Colombia
That’s amazing! All the way from Colombia 🇨🇴!! Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated 👍🏻
Yeah im in colombia too and i hate how overpriced it gets. If only amazon shipped this guitar to colombia

Hi Marty
That’s a fair point. Still get some good tones from this but obviously not as versatile. Prefer the neck on the Jackson though, it’s lovely
I subbed and liked the first 5 seconds i love this guy
Awww thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Nice guitar, i'm looking out for a tatty one of these cheap on ebay to do up. I want to have a play with crackle paint finishes.
Ooo interesting!

Haha 😂
Nice review mate!
5:35 LOL
Haha and thank you 🙏
I'm thinking about getting this guitar but I want to put some nazgul and sentient pickups in it. Wondering if that would fix the issue with the tone
Hi Chris, the neck on these are gorgeous and the body comfortable too so I’d say it’s worth spending a little cash on it 👍🏻
106th guitar?
And I thought I had a lot with 9 or 10
lol, not kept them all ☺️

Plenty more unboxing and reviews in my playlist if that’s your thing. Thank you for watching and commenting
Which amplifier were you using and were you using noise gate??
Think it was a Blackstar id core 20 but can’t remember. No noise gate though
106 guitars??
Where do you put them all 🤣🤣
Haha can you imagine!!! Just as well this is my only guitar lol
the person at the window lol
Lol 😂
Who's the dancing music jackson guy he mentions at the end????
Ha ha 😂
Me thinks that's your office at work?
I wish it was! I could play around with guitars all day 😁
Should I go for it as a beginner ?
Absolutely!!
Where is it made? Does it matter?
Indonesia I think and no, doesn’t matter. Great guitar for the money
I am a beginner can I buy it for rock, metal and some cleaner tones, the other option I have is Ibanez grg121dx
It will go all those and. I’d say it’s nicer guitar than the Ibanez too (I’ve had a lot of Ibanez, reviews on my playlist).
Enjoy your journey 👍🏻

@@oklahe there is 👍🏻
The guy in the back😭
Haha 😂

does the guitar have a floyd rose system? sorry im not the best with guitar terms 😅😅
Hi Alicia
Not this one no, it has a more standard 2 point trem.
Thank you for tuning in 👍🏻👍🏻
Js22 or js20?
JS22
what type of neck does this have i cant find it anywhere
It’s maple with a reinforcement rod inside it. Amaranth finger board and a 12”-16” compound radius. It’s skinny too
I wonder if you can make the trem flutter?
If set up well then yes, it's actually pretty good really especially considering the price
@@thenovicenoisemaker im about to buy one
@@AceBambam awesome!
5:35 - LMAO!
What mm for the Allen key?
Truss rod? 4 my think
5:35
🤣
haha 😆
Could someone tell me if it goes out of tune easily with the use of the lever? I want to buy one but would use the lever a lot.
It’s not bad actually but heavy use of the whammy bar will put it out of tune just don’t go too mad with it
@@thenovicenoisemaker Can i install a lock-nut? or do something to upgrade this case?
