The Best Guitar in this Price Range !!!!

This was given to me recently by a friend and when I got it, it was in need of some work. It was strung with I think were , 11s, so I removed those and put on a set of 9-46 gauge . Plus the action was high so I adjusted the saddles accordingly , which was followed by re-setting the intonation and tightening up all of the hardware. Now, I am in awe of how great this sounds and also add to the fact that, it stays in perfect tune. The neck is very slender which I like and I absolutely love the natural oil finish. I'm 65 and am a fan of 80s metal along with Classic rock from the 70s, which this is suited for. I don't nee anything after getting this one. I love it and highly recommend it.

It's aight

Overall a good guitar but using the whammy bar makes all strings go sharp.pickups are pretty good. I learned a John Mayer luck on it then played it on the cheapest used PRS and the PRS was way better so go ahead and get a PRS

    I bought this guitar 5 years ago and it has been my only electric. It was my first guitar and continues to get me through playing live shows. I recommend locking tuners as an upgrade, but otherwise this guitar is a great value entry level guitar.

    Awesome . If u use whammy it goes out of tune fast. Get it setup by a professional for 60.00 will fix intonation and fret buzz. Other wise great deal

    For the price and for such a great brand with good pickups natural listening is just perfect except for one thing it goes out of tune too easily I will get that fixed at the store and strings could be a little bit bigger but I'll change those out otherwise this guitar is 9 out of 10

    fromFlagler Beach, FL

    Will the body pieces be well-matched, like the guitar in the picture, or more like a butcher block assembly?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    The Jackson Dinky JS22 will be matched nicely.

    fromChicago Illinois

    What is a nato body on the Jackson guitar?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    Nato is an abundantly available tree and is considered to be an economical alternative to Mahogany. It is commonly referred to as 'Eastern Mahogany' or 'Industrial Mahogany' because it shares tonal and hardness/build properties with Mahogany.
