I've been a fan of Jackson Guitars since the mid 90's, but sadly never owned one cause they're really expensive here in Brazil! The King V and the Soloist are my favorites shapes and I totally agree: army green and black hardware is a killer combination.

I couldn't believe how acoustic it sounds on a clean setting with it dialed back . How? Right out of the box you can definitely make noises like Metallica . Anyone on the fence should go ahead and get it . I did have to add the spring they supplied to it's Floyd Rose to lower the strings , but after that it became absolutely perfect .

Active pickups are more versatile than most people think they are. Metallica tracked cleans with EMGs for years aswell, so if they can do it then I'm sure the average player could as well!

I am sorry $2,500 not cool!! I am a person that doesn't expect something for nothing. I do own custom Warwick basses that are very pricey. At the same time, I knew what I was getting!! I can't see spending that kind of money on custom shop prices that are not custom shop guitars. Don't get me wrong. I like Jackson but I think they are a little late to the game.
@EricMorettin5 ай бұрын
It's expensive for sure, especially for an off the shelf guitar. But some people want it, and don't want custom which is totally fair. It feels and sounds fantastic, and the build quality was awesome. To each their own of how they'd like to spend their money, as that is all contextual/situational to the individual. Love a good Warwick custom bass!
@joekkez935 ай бұрын
Where can I get a custom guitar with same specs for that price? Even in my country you have to play minimum over 3k for guitar with such specs if you custom order from a local skilled luthier who builds custom stuff. Of course the brand name on head stock costs extra, but it applies to all bigger guitar companies, like Gibson etc. Hell, even PRS S2 series start at 2,3k here so yeah. Getting a neck through guitar made in US isn't that cheap anymore for real.
