Jackson Review: Stealth XL

Jackson Electric Guitars



History:

Purchase: I bought it from a store for around 250-300 dollars.

What I Like About This Jackson Stealth XL: I like the tone on this guitar, it can be heard clearly through a great amount of distortion unlike others guitars i have purchased, i like the floyd rose bridge on it because you can go through many dips before losing your sound. what is really great about this guitar is it's slim neck, since it's slim you dont have to move your thumb around on the back of the neck which caused me personally to have soreness in my hand. i definitlly recommend this guitar for someone who like to play a lot of rock.

What I Do NOT Like About The Jackson Stealth XL: I dont like that when a string breaks the entire guitar goes out of tune because the brigde doesnt have as much force pulling on it (ie. the strings.) so it goes about a half inch lower. also the volume and tone knobs became loose to the point where it came off but tightening was too much of a hassle.

Jackson Stealth XL Quality Rating: This guitar has locking tuners, awesome bridge, a humbucker in the brigde position and single pickups. the quality is great other then the control knobs which can be easily taken care of.



Review Summary: overall it's not a bad guitar but i would only recommend it to someone who has been playing a little and wants to get a premium guitar for a little money.

Rating of this Jackson product: 5
