"Solid but not worth the price."

First, the shipping: arrived with trem arm, strap locks, and Allen keys floating in the box. Minor damage but could have been worse.Plays well and factory setup is solid. Sounds good too. Balance is a bit off but not horrendous.Finish is OK. Not sure if what I'm seeing is due to the loose parts though. Minor scuffs and almost looks as though it was slightly used (purchased as new). For sure sloppy where the clear coat on the guitar ends and the raw neck starts; there's definitely black in the small band of clear coat on the neck.Overall at the price point I prefer my LTD Deluxe. If you really want a pointy symmetrical V with a Floyd go for it. If yours is packed better than mine was it may be worth it to you! I expect a bit more for $1,000 though.

"Jackson not what they used be..."

So it seems the last few years or since Covid at least Jackson has made their $1000 range guitars with cheaper and cheaper parts . I was a Sales Associate at Huge Chain Guitar Store for the last 10 years I've been a Pointy Guitar Guy for the last 34 years. These are not the same quality they were even 5 years ago. The build seems ok on most but paint , the hardware and setup are usually lacking out of the box . 1st The cheaper Floyd Rose on a Guitar that's around a $1000 is a shame the zinc in the metal of the Jackson guitars are very soft compared to the LTD they're not even close . I believe that ESP has even started using the stainless steel on the Specials for this reason . 2nd the paint is not very good I've seen blemishes out of the box dings etc.. Why paint just the front in Camo and not the back of the Guitar? 3rd setup Intonation has been terrible for most of the guitars I broke out on a weekly basis from Jackson. It feels like they are cutting corners to save on cost. Honestly ESP LTD in the same price range are much much better. Yea Jackson has better paint job visually but if that's all they put their energy into and not the rest why bother.
