I was at guitar center yesterday , played this baby for the first time yesterday and i have to say I was very impressed. You are so on point when you said it plays itself. The thin neck feels great. I recently just bought a Schecter C1 Hellraiser Floyd Rose special with a purple trans burst finish. Absolutely love it, but with the Floyd rose its a bit impractical when I want to change tuning. So I pretty much leave that guitar in Drop C sharp because my band primarily plays heavy music. How ever I am really considering picking up one of these, I saw some awesome finishes like indigo, a sweet tobacco burst etc. Plus im in love with the EMG, I believe its an 81 and 85 on this guitar, my C1 has 81 and 89. Really though anyone if you have an opportunity to get this at a good price Id snag it. I want one new but if I see one for around 300 used Id probably go with that. Awesome guitar man.
I have one for years...doesn't now the lawn or make coffee for you though. Sounds better ..warmer..than the newer slatxmgq3 so they've changed something in production since 2014. Still bought the slatxmg hardtail..nice as well, but there's a feeling that something has changed...quality of the basewood tonewood maybe
I'm really considering buying one of those, but I hesitate because I don't know if the neck finish is as matte/satin as it looks... I don't want a sticky gloss finish on the neck. Anyone can help me with that ?
keep in mind what happens when your palms and fingers get sweaty. With a satin finish, it will become sticky and grabby, but a gloss finish with become slippery. Gloss cleans easier as well in my opinion. However, the satin finish looks totally cool.
How can this thing have such a good clean sound with active pickups? I have played emg loaded jacksons myself before and i was disgusted at the music store...
drive the power amp and roll back volume on guitar. The key is less pre gain and more post then you have a wider bandwidth to work with. I played blues with a green Ltd with the same pickups and it freaked people out cause it's a metal guitar. The EMG's are more versatile than people think.

I'll be honest, I'm an Ibanez fan myself but I must be brutally honest. I personally think this guitar outplayed any Ibanez I tried out in guitar center one day, so in my opinion, id go with this guitar
This guy single handedly sold me on this guitar
V10 FSI just ordered one hope it was a good guitar for u
V10 FSI same
How do you like it after a year, im wondering of getting one myself?
He used both hands though
@@Vveljac had one with the floyd rose and it became my go to guitar for practices and stage

I looked through your website and I can not find any Jackson guitars
Great review! Thanks! I'm debating between this matte black, or cobalt blue. Hmmm....
so are these all made in korea? specifically the purple one with emg pickups
Morrowmyth. Mine was made in Indonesia. Looks the same as this except its white.
Indonesia
this or dinky pro orange blaze???? i shred a lot but im getting in to playing some acdc sort of stuff as well what do you guys think?
This, or the Dean ML'79 ???
btw, I play mostly Metallica and Pantera
+Filip Czuk Get this man, Its built better, feels better, and it's actives would help with the Metallica and a little bit of the Pantera sound
yeah, thats what I thought aswell :)
I'm really considering buying one of those, but I hesitate because I don't know if the neck finish is as matte/satin as it looks... I don't want a sticky gloss finish on the neck. Anyone can help me with that ?
Hi Roy, it's definitely a satin finish :)
Red Dog Amazing, thanks ! It's ordered ;) can't wait to play with it !!
Then get a diff color they have options. I'm considering taking my prestige ibanez s back and getting this

What's with the reverb dude?
This or an ibanez iron label??

Connor Lucas Ibanez makes a good product. But this guitar plays better then any other guitar I've ever played. It's SO comfortable to play.
