BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT. YOU WONT REGRET IT. best neck you will play for under £1000. 9.5/10 for this guitar, best buy ever.
i bought the white one about 2yrs ago, it has been near flawless, I only had one string that was ever so slightly off on the intonation. only thing I'd change is to upgrade the pickups, a JB/Jazz set from Seymour Duncan. one of the best bargain guitars out there.
Good to know. I tried one of these 5 years ago and it had really sharp fret ends. I think companies are getting better with all that now. But no fret buzz and low action.
Yeah, they seem to finally realize even an inexpensive guitar needs a basic setup and quick run over the fret ends to keep returns down and sales up. Thanks for watching.
Strange, maby it was a js11 as the js22 has bound board edges with the frets quite far from the edge of the neck.
I bought this guitar 2 month ago. I tried 6 jackson guitars and 5 of them where with sharp fret ends and one was ok...yes sharp fret ends are the bigest problem for jackson guitars that are under 800 euros
I bought it and am super happy 😁 🎸
Congrats! That's awesome.
Thanks for the video, man! Just bought one an hour ago. Waiting to go pick it up from the A.H. at GC 😂. I'm excited!
Nice guitar dude got mine in flat black couple of years ago it kicks some major butt
Just grabbed one a month back. I used to play BC and LTDs.. The Neck, I love the neck. My thumb was broken and never healed properly and the depth/width of the neck is very comfortable. I never thought my thumb position/feel on a neck mattered, Its all fingers right?? Nah. Keep the thumb in mind.
I've been pretty impressed by the JS series Jacksons so far. I picked up a Gus G and a 7 string this year
Awesome. I have been looking at the Gus G myself.
@@benpowersguitar it's very addicting to play in my experience
Awesome guitar! Great review!! thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful day
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
I have the JS32 Kelly with the Floyd Rose myself and absolutely love it
Awesome! The Kelly is a good looking guitar.
I own this guitar! I just love it.. 🥰
Hi, i speak a little bit of English 😊 the another day i bought it in 149.00 dollars in guitar center whit mustang lt25 for 159.00 and i like the guitar for the price it's mi first electric guitar
That is a great guitar and amp.👍🎸
I’m getting my friend into playing and he asked me to play a little on one of these and now all he wants is one
I just bought the same but in satin black for the the price and what i wanted it for, i had to. ❤ Jackson. 2 RRs, kelly pro, soloist, 3 dinkys and a king v
That's awesome. Was looking at the Kelly in red recently. Just bought a JS34Q in transparent red, be up 1st of the month. I really love Ibanez & Jackson. Depends on the model as to which I prefer, but Jackson definitely has better color and body style selections, imo. I really want to try a Soloist. Thinking that may be the more expensive guitar for the channel next year.
@@benpowersguitar I agree bro thank you for the video
how is it and is it worth the price
@@SlowzorvYT def worth the price and for what I use it for, it's perfect
i have the same guitar. repainted it and put an emg 81 in the bridge. used the trem rout cover to make a neck cavity cover lol. one of my better sounding guitars for metal. i have quite a few different models
It's a very cool design🎸✨
Fantastic review and demo !!!
Thank you. I appreciate you watching, as always.
Sounds awesome man!! I've always wanted to get one of these.
Thanks man. No guitar is for everyone. These really are worth trying if you have the extra $.
when it comes to body shape I like JS 11
Yeah, I always prefer the arm contour.
That’s a nice one. I got one briefly (in flat black) but didn’t really bond with it. Don’t know why, it wasn’t bad. So I sold it. Great review Ben!
Thanks man. As always, I appreciate you watching. I still prefer an Ibanez Wizard 3 neck and a consistent fretboard radius. Even so, I can't knock the guitar. Well made and great for the money. Just not my preference.
How do you adjust the action on that guitar?
Use the small allen wrench to adjust the 2 screws on each of the 6 saddles.
I'm always curious about the feel of a dinky vs a full scale model. Can anyone give me some insights?
Dinky's are full scale.
@benpowersguitar ok got it. Its just the body thats downsized. So then the minions are small scsle?
@@SonicVR12 Some Dinky's have a thinner body & some don't. Dinky isn't a description nowadays so much as a line name. My Dinky DK2XR is as thick as my RG550, and my JS32 & JS34Q are thinner than a strat, more like a Squier Bullet strat. Yeah, Minion are the small scale. Kind of want to try one.
@benpowersguitar me too 😆. Since you are so knowledgeable I'll ask, are the Ibanez Gios a small scale
@@SonicVR12 They are not. You have to go the Mikro in Ibanez for small scale. Gio necks are not quite as slim as the Wizard 3's that come on standard RG's & S series.
What is the best guitar for slam death metal?
I honestly don't know.
Did you try using the trem? That block looks really close to the cover. It almost looks like the cover would stop it moving freely inside. Maybe just the lighting in the photo though.
Love that color. Sounds great too.
I have. The bar will go all the way to the body. You're correct about the pic lighting. I really wanted the to show the block, but didn't consider the overall view. Oops.
@@benpowersguitar Glad it doesn't get in the way. I thought it must have been the lighting or you would have mentioned it.
@@ccjmusic Trems seem to haven't gotten a little better the past few years.
@@benpowersguitar I still need to figure out how to use one in a way that doesn't sound bad.
@@ccjmusic Me too
I like this guitar alot. The only gripe is the high E string is on the bottom edge of the fret board... If it werent for that I would say that I wouldnt need a better guitar for home and garage play. I love the fast neck and the pickups scream and go very low too imo well worth the money. Maybe there is a way I can fix that high E being on the very edge of the board. Prolly just a lemon type flaw. I ordered it new online so ya... maybe have sweetwter send you a pic of the fretboard with the stings on it = ) Im keeping mine. Undecided if I will upgrade when I get even faster at playing. (Your high E doesnt appear to be like mine, on the bottom edge)
Sometimes, you can loosen the neck, hold it in playing position, pull up on the neck and tighten the bolts. Phillip McKnight has a great video on it.
@@benpowersguitarOh thanks 👍
@@benpowersguitar th-cam.com/video/XJNrG2iqBO4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ho4_f2D3SxgAKKQG
@@benpowersguitar maybe you do a video on it. Bingo ~ Because I see several Jackson lower end that look the same as mine. Chica bow wow ~ Now I love the guitar 🤣👍
Hi guys! I don’t know how to play guitar but I want to learn and I want to buy one. Which one one of the best for beginners? I just saw people saying about Yamaha 012 and Jackson 022.
This is an excellent beginner guitar. Really can't get better quality for the money. They hold up really well from my experience. That said, there is no best. Every style guitar feels different. I definitely think new players should at least get there hands on this or the js32 and see how they like the neck. Firefly makes feature heavy guitars that play great for under $200. There site is guitarsgarden.com. Hope this helps.
Buy the best looking one. So you pick it up more . Just do some research. Its gonna be false notes anyway. I would not go under 250euros.
JS 11 is 149.99 is 22 frets this model is 24 frets but its 250.00 .JS11 has a 14 inch neck radius flat and easy comfortable to play.I highly recomend getting the Jsckson.
Is this a good guitar for a beginner learning metal. I've heard their necks are fast
Yeah, it's great for that.
Hi mate. I saw on another video you did a demo of the JS11. How does it compare to the JS22?
The JS22 has an arch top, which some people like. I prefer the arm contour of the JS11. The js22 also has a compound radius and little nicer feeling neck, at least to me.
@@benpowersguitar thank you for your videos. Helped me decide between the two. Ordered a JS22! Cheers
@@carlosgaring7089 That's awesome. Have to let me know what you think of it.
I put invaders in mine it's killer
I bet it is. Nice upgrade.
Does js 11 stands before this which will can i get today js11 or js22
The JS11, JS12 & JS22 are all current models that are available. The 11 & 12 have 12" radius instead of the compound radius of the 22. The 11 & 12 have an arm contour and the 22 is an arch top. Also, the 12 & 22 both have 24 frets, the 11 only has 22. They all 3 have the same pickups pickups, tremolos & tuners.
Which Jackson has the Floyd Rose? Also, what are some good locking tuning machines that fit the JS series?
The JS32, JS34Q both have locking trems. I believe they are modern size tuners, so any decent tuner would do. Really depends on how much you want to spend.
@@benpowersguitar okay so, I just ordered one yesterday. I know a couple things I’ll need to do to it pretty soon. The one thing most everyone talks about is changing the tuners for better ones. So, what’s the best tuners that can work on this guitar? I’m looking at maybe a set of Gotoh 510’s.
@@bretttrommler756 Any decent set of modern size tuners will be fine.
hey do you know how the whammy bar can be adjusted? like if i want it tight or loose.
I didn't verify on this one, as mine was tight. There should a little set screw on the block. Some screws you can get to by pressing the bar down, others the trem has to be taken out.
@@benpowersguitar oh alr thanks bro
@@MAXXlS js32 for whammy, js22 for detuning.
@@idealmethod I got this exact same guitar, so impressed i got a JS 32 Hardtail, awesome with great necks.
I ordered one a couple days ago, pic showed it with a whammy bar, did they screw me? It hasnt showed up yet
They come with a whammy bar.
@@benpowersguitar thank you
@@ivans1240 👍
Figured id update. Got the guitar and i love this thing
@@ivans1240 That's awesome.
what's the weight?
I don't have it anymore, but it was in that 6-7lb range if I remember correctly.
Does this guitar needs batteries?
No it doesn't.
Am I the only one who finds this guitar very deep and muddled sounding?!
I personally find the humbuckers in the Kramer's in the this price range to have a more pleasing sound. That's the great thing about guitar demo's. You get to hear them through different setups and by different players to get a decent idea if they are for you or not. I love that you don't like the sound. No guitar is right for everyone, and players should always go off their own ear and taste, no matter how popular or not the item is. Thank you for watching.
@@benpowersguitar the way it sounds in your video is actually excellent. What Im experiencing personally though is that when I try to play chords for example they are not so clear. Ive been reading a lot about humbuckers and I think thats what it is. Im used to the clear crisp sound of pickups and find that I definitely cant get as clear of a sound from the jackson js22. Its a very playable guitar with the neck features and jumbo frets, but its just that the chords dont sound great for me personally when Im playing.
@@Martin-5000 Just to be sure, have you tried adjusting pickup height or adjusting the amp EQ & gain? Also, what's the amp? I have found this and certain other guitars to sound considerably different through 10-20w amps compared to something like my 40w Mustang II.
@@benpowersguitar i havent tried adjusting the pickup height and also noticed the low e string has quite a bit of buzz even though its brand new. I have a mustang lt25amp. I am able to get it to sound fairly clean/ clear by turning the bass low the treble up the gain down. But at the end of the day what ive noticed is my single coil fender guitar is a lot clearer sounding regardless of which amp setting its on,,
@@Martin-5000 As a long time strat player, I can say you're gonna wanna tweak your settings, and know you're never gonna get that strat chime and particular type of clarity out of humbuckers. HB's can be as clean and clear as anything, but there is something about the way strats chime. Lace and Fender Noiseless couldn't quite get it either. Though the hot noiseless are wonderful, IMO. They are also closer than anything else to my ear.
Damn you grow long hair your a phil demmel replica
Went bald in my mid 20's. It's why I wear a hat.😎
