Jackson JS30 Reviews3 Found On 2004-09-27, Mike Courts, Master of Puppets gave this Jackson Electric Guitar a 4...(10184)
Purchase: I got this guitar from gak.com for £200, but its normally £280. I got it cos its a jackson, and its a whole lotta metal! its pure shredder!
Pros: Its got a phat neck, really smooth, and wafer thin, so playin solos is a doddle. The pickups sound really nice on clean, and it has a floydd rose. It is a sexy beast, too. Specially for the price, its a damn good guitar. As good as an epiphone les paul, easily, and a few bob cheaper
Cons: Though floydd roses are awsome, they get bloody annoying, and they are sooooo high maintanance. the pickups could stand to be a tad crunchier, but thats just me nit-picking.
Quality: couldnt be better, solid body, nice and heavy, everything screwed on tight. sweet. Summary: a damn good guitar, if youve got the money and patience to deal with getting a floydd rose set up. Well worth a look into.

Purchase: I live in Budapest, Hungary. I bought this brand new guitar in a well known guitar dealer in Budapest.I was looking for especially a japan Jackson model. I paid 99000Ft (approx. 400bucks).
Pros: I had to choose between 3 guitar: jackson fx fusion, ps4, and js30. I tried all, and that was the real bargain. It's a 2002 model, and the others are much older, and that counts. It has the most versatile sound of all. I play Metallica in general, Hendrix, GnR, RHCP, and other styles as well. It's perfect with a Marshall valvestate in every way. The JT500 floyd rose tremolo is awesome; hard to believe but its true that after 2 month of intensive play, i've never needed to tune the strings. Not at last the guitar looks fuckin' cool.
Cons: There's nothing i dont like about it. Maybe it would looked a little cooler with sharkfin inlays (but that is the DXMG model with active EMG pickups).
Quality: Quality is all right, tremolo's durability kicks ass -that's important!! Unfortunately it fell down once. It landed on the side of the neck. Nothing happened thank God. My previous guitar was a Les Paul cover, and that's neck bended a bit after an impact. By the way the alder body is very soft, it can be easily hurt. Better be careful. Summary: I'm very happy with this guitar. Easy to play with, nice sound, real Jackson quality. It's good to know that Jackson makes all products the highest quality whether in the U.S.A or Japan.

Purchase: I purchased this amazing guitar from a store in Athens,Greece for 400$.I wanted a starter guitar so for this price range it is the best.Its a strat like guitar with
two humbuckers and double lock tremolo.
It's definetly better than an Ibanez RG270,and other close prized Jacksons,Epiphones and ESPs.Plus that is made in Japan ,contrary to the others that are made in Korea.
Pros: Fast neck,excellent woods,2 nice Jackson humbuckers(which are recommended to be replaced by EMGs),the construction(Japan!!!) , the double locking tremolo and the reversed headstock.
Cons: I hate that Jackson doesn't offer it in other colors than the metallic black,blue and red.It would be great to offer it with its great transparent colors and i hate the black color i chose.It gets dirty easily.And the factory strings are just awful.After ten days they had changed shape!!!Replaced with D'Addario during its setup and it is now complete.
Quality: Excellent(Japan)!!!!Nicely painted and constructed carefully with every detail.Typical Jackson quality.Excellent!
Summary: I am happy to have one.It's a well built guitar good for guitarists of every level.
Far better than my friends' RGs and ESPs.A metal guitar(and not only) that will stay your friend forever.
If you change the humbs with EMGs you will be delighted.Excellent starter guitar.Great value for money.It could cost much more.
