JS SERIES RHOADS MAH JS32 REVIEW

An Amazing Jackson JS Series Rhoads!!!
Swift, deadly and affordable, Jackson® JS Series guitars take an epic leap forward, making it easier than ever to get classic Jackson tone, looks and playability without breaking the bank.
The JS Series Rhoads MAH JS32 features an offset angular mahogany body and a bolt-on maple speed neck with graphite-reinforcement rods for added stability against warping and scarf joint for reduced playing fatigue. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, the 12"-16" compound radius bound amaranth fingerboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out.
Other features include dual Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets for volcanic tone, three-way pickup toggle switch, single volume and tone controls and a Jackson-branded Floyd Rose® double-locking tremolo bridge system for dynamic response and reliable tuning stability.
This sleek, angular axe is available in a new Natural finish with gold pickguard, black pointy headstock and gold hardware.

My favorite thing about Jackson is that they know how to make cool looking, great sounding guitars for low price.

[@SteveRicardo777]

You got that right!!!!!

[@MRDINO0419]

This is a JS42 limited edition. Love it! Bought it Oct 2021...now it's impossible to find unless you get it from a scalper at double the price..if you're lucky!

[@kingmafw]

Well, I've found one for 489 Euros.

[@Hellijazz]

Yeah I just found one for €433

[@chrissimmonds5459]

So nice to see a fellow canadian review and have the actual prices right. Keep on rocking brother we are the true north strong and free!

[@SteveRicardo777]

Hell yeah bro!!!!! All hail the great north!!!!!

[@ajax77dstrong62]

I had just got one of these love this guitar

[@kylezakk]

That's one of the nicest jacksons I've seen. I've been tempted to pick one up even since I saw this exact model at long and mcquade.

[@SteveRicardo777]

They are sweet!!!! Definitely a great buy.

[@auntjenifer7774]

The mahogany body ones are great ! That RR V is great and the mahogany Dinky DKA Floyd rose mahogany body natural finish $399 is killer !

[@michaelbarber590]

I just bought the Ziricote version of this guitar today for $305 bucks shipped from Musicians Friend. I bought a set of Seymour Duncan Nazgul Sentient pickups and an EMG Afterburner tone control a few months back and I was waiting for something to put them in and now I found it.

[@SteveRicardo777]

That is awesome!!!!! You must follow up with a video. Let me know how it turns out.

[@pacer7682]

I think I found your similar comment on another video. Did you happen to sell that guitar in the Midwest? I stumbled across one of those with an identical set up.

[@michaelbarber590]

@@pacer7682 Sold it I'm Arizona.

[@Andrea-qg5yk]

i have the dinky version of the JS32 line and i love it, i put seymour duncans SH5 and 59 to get a more classic tone with some extra punch on the bridge and it's sooo good. Only thing is that my neck is very unstable and need a setup very often, so i'm considering getting a new neck for it to really take it up to the next level

[@brendaagriffin]

I got this Jackson 🎸🎸🎸 for my husband I've been watching all the reviews about it I'm so excited for him to see it on Christmas!! Loved your Channel 🤘🤘 new subscriber!! 🖤🖤 Happy Holidays sir!! 🤘🤘

[@SteveRicardo777]

So awesome!!!!! Thank you so much for your comment ❤️

[@piotrm.7084]

Does it still tune after using Floyd rose? I'm interested about this bridge quality.

[@kennysmith2526]

I havent had any problems

[@scottthomas4779]

I got mine about a month ago and I absolutely love it. Only critique I have is that the pickups don't seem to pick up my harmonics quite as well as I'd like (honestly they're great factory pickups tho). Literally thats the only complaint that I have. Amazing guitar for the money!

[@matthewbradshaw1810]

Check your setup. It could be intonation killing your harmonics

[@SteveRicardo777]

Exactly

[@jayf1677]

Jackson uses Belcat pickups & Belcats own pickups are Ok. Comparable to Roswell and other similar solid brands. They aren't exactly DiMarzios or Seymours but they cost 15$ vs 150$. I know players who like Jacksons (Belcat) stock pickups. I also have 3 other Belcats. EMG-type, Hot Rail and classic Strat-style. They are Ok, no complaints. Just no biggie name brand. That's why Jackson buys bazillion pieces of em and stamps their logo to em 👍

[@jeffreymorreale7223]

The offset V is an attractive design but i much prefer the “concorde” version to the typical RR version. My CDX22 kicks so much ass! The biggest plus for me is how comfortable it is to play standing up.

[@SteveRicardo777]

Awesome comment dude.

[@bubbasawyerr]

mine's coming in next week!

[@SteveRicardo777]

Awesome!!!!!

literally the only video of this guitar but this is a js42 rhoads ziricote top its a canada exclusive model i played one of these and long and mcquade and it felt smooth as fuck and i couldnt find a single qc issue on the one i played well built guitar

[@SteveRicardo777]

Very cool, thank you so much for your comment.

[@jayf1677]

I'm gonna buy this Ziricote and replace the licensed floyd to golden Schaller or Original. Also, Pickups are gonna change to SD Black Winters. Gonna get killer shred machine 🤟😎

[@AdamBurseMusic]

Great demo Steve, sounded awesome man 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥

[@SteveRicardo777]

Awesome, thank you!!!!

[@michaelperez3887]

Got mine 4 days ago. :)

[@SteveRicardo777]

sweet, do you like it?

[@michaelperez3887]

I like It very much it a upgrade from my JS30 RR. A whole new learning experience for me due to the Floyd.

[@jasonkidd1689]

You reviewed a ESP LTD EC256FM cobalt blue very nice color. Which do you like overall the Jackson or the ESP?

[@SteveRicardo777]

Ohhh good question. Each ha e their special place. I am more of a Les Paul style body. So the LTD / ESP are killer. Scott Ian V is also amazing.

[@TheSesetv]

Hello Mr. Ricardo. Do you think this guitar can be tunned in B standart? i mean, is 25,5 escale lenth enough to not having a floppy strings?

[@SteveRicardo777]

Im not sure, but give it a try!! Let me know!!

[@TheSesetv]

@@SteveRicardo777 Thanks for answer me, you are the best. If i finally purchase it i´ll let you know, but if you have it already... would you try with a 12-60 string gauge for me please?

[@RumbleNut441Rock]

This Jackson Guitar is a........... JS Series Rhoads Ziricote JS42

[@digitallemon8043]

are the jackson floyd rose and the pickups great? it will be my first floyd rose guitar and i wanna know if its any good

[@SteveRicardo777]

Its a great start for sure. The quality is good.

[@alphajayy_9832]

Steve, you look like a buff Scott Ian playing that V👌🤟

[@SteveRicardo777]

Sweet!!!! I love Scott Ian

[@jaytoochill_]

Do you think you paint it another color with just acrylic paint? Im getting one and wondering if I could do that

[@SteveRicardo777]

Good question. This wood has open grain. Perhaps a base coat.

[@tomlewis4743]

Nice Guitar bro

[@SteveRicardo777]

Its sweet!!! Great guitar

[@gbo-gr-cy]

Great video! But why does the guitar look so different on the Jackson website and Thomann? There seem to be key differences between this one and what I found online. This one looks much more beautiful (ie the wood details in the body, and the fretboard looks totally different).

[@jamesbaker5817]

It's actually a JS 42

[@michaelwillis2198]

If that’s an amaranth fretboard I need to relearn how wood works because correct me if I’m wrong but amaranth is Purple Heart, and that doesn’t look anything like Purple Heart. Just saying.

[@charlesleath2287]

Anyone know which polish/cleaner is safe for this guitar?

[@SteveRicardo777]

I use the Dunlop cleaner for most. This one honestly ive heard Lemon Pledge. Safe on all woods.

[@BurningSunday]

So why does your look like baked maple fret board and all the ones i can find are a dark fretboard?

[@SteveRicardo777]

Great question, im not sure. Ive ever only played and seen this one in store.

[@BurningSunday]

@@SteveRicardo777 What store and is it still there?

[@danielwebster5609]

I have the same Jackson Rhoads. What's the best way to tune it?

[@SteveRicardo777]

What sort of issues are you having with it? Is a Floyd rose can be a little touchy. There are tons of how 2 videos on tunein her

[@danielwebster5609]

@Steve Ricardo I've never turned a Floyd Rose before and not sure what to do?

[@danielwebster5609]

I got 8 gage Dimebag Darrell strings I want to put on it.

[@georgemichas8773]

this is one of the cheapest in the series. is the quality much lower than the RRX24 for example?

[@SteveRicardo777]

Not at all the construction of this guitar is quite well made. Its no $3k guitar, but a very good starter to the Jackson line.

[@ferox965]

Do these come without the Floyd?

[@SteveRicardo777]

That, i am unsure.

[@georgeh.5480]

this thing just made me go to the hospital because it's SICK

Hahahahah. Awesome comment!!!!

She's great. Ive played worse.

[@eliecret8363]

why do you think it is cheaper than other rhoads style jacksons

Because it sells for $699.

i ordered this guitar in Vienna, now i have to wait 4 days until i can torture the guitar here in Iceland, my neighbors will hate it, she has a nice aggressive sound...
