Bolt-on Maple neck. Fulcrum tremolo.

This is an excellent and affordable way to get into the extremely comfortable Jackson Dinky body. It's a slightly smaller body than most guitar bodies, but it delivers all the tone that modern guitarists demand. The reverse headstock JS1 is built with an alder body and Jackson JE10 humbuckers for bright, punchy tone, and 24 jumbo frets for easy playability. It features a Jackson 2-point fulcrum tremolo bridge, a bolt-on rock Maple neck, a Rosewood fingerboard, and chrome hardware.

"SEXY SEXY SEXY--some drawbacks though"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
well....I'm a beginner, it was either this or a Fender Stratocaster for me, i chose this cause Fender colors are lame...I like it, i'm very happy with it, but if you're very skilled...go with a gibson or something a bt higher-end.
Sound
It sounds good if you're playing a lot of rock, but only mediocre for anything else. Also, this was a big issue for me, at higher volumes, you get MAJOR feedback, which makes it impossible to play live or even with drums or other higher-volume instruments.
Features
eh...Well, the whammy bar (tremolo) is nice, but that's about it, other than standard volume/tone knobs.
Quality
The finish is AWESOME! I got transparent red, which lets you see the beatuiful curly maple wood. Besides the electronics being cheap, yeah, i guess its okay.
Value
hmm...the value is alright. If you even think of playing live or even really loud to make the neighbors mad, you need new electronics or it'll be lame.
Manufacturer Support
Well, i just got it, never needed support, but the manual was helpful.
The Wow Factor
Ookay, this may not be the highest perfromance piece out there, but you can't deny (ESPECIALLY with transparent finish so you can see the superb curly maple underneath) that this thing is sexy. I definately don't have to hang my head around chicks cause this thing is hott.

Musical Style:

Rock, Metal, some blues
