History:
Purchase: I use to play guitar regularly but stopped a few years ago and just had an old crappy Strat copy that I never did like laying around, so now that I wanted to start playing again I wanted a decent guitar. Bought this particualr axe from Musicians Friend on-line. As for price ... I shopped all over in walk in stores and on-line and was getting prices from $250.00 to $350.00. Got it at Musicians Friend for $149.00 !!!, and only 12 bucks shipping so no markup on that to cover the outstanding price either!
Pros: Whats to say. As good as any guitar I have played costing up to $500.00. Beautiful sound from melodic to thrashing depending on the setting of the triple mini hummers, beautiful finish (deep red), straight and true as well! Easy to tune, and stays in tune unless I really crank the tremelo hard. The only thing I have changed were the factory strings, other than that I love this guitar just the way it is and at this price it was a steal!
Cons: So far I have only good things to say about this guitar.
JX10 Quality: Excellent fit and finish, nice paint job, very nice feel and sound. Much better than I had hoped for from an import guitar even if it is a Jackson. Jackson Summary: My only bitch is the box it was shipped in was less than well protected. Luckily it arrived unscathed and in perfect condition. This is an awsome axe by a great company offered at a great price. Whats not to like?
