"Cheap Gold!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I hope this guitar last me the rest of my life and I know everyone says this,but if it got stolen i would track them down and beat the piss out of them.I own a lot of guitars but this is by far one of the best.
Sound
Too start of with i cant beleave how bad a$% this guitar is and at the same time can be soo afordable!I t sounds very good for the price,it is probaly the cheapest,best sounding guitar i have ever seen and or herd!!!
Features
To me the best part of this guitar is the shape,cause ive always loved the V shaped body style but the only thing that i didnt like was that it had no floyd but hey,thats why we got or fingers.
Ease of Use
If you have the right amp and pedals this guitar is like heaven.It works very well with big amps like Marshals which is why i couldnt beleave the price on it,cause i would gie atleast one grand for it.It is a very playable guitar and is in my opinion great for all ages.
Quality
This guitar is very well put together i couldnt find one thing i didnt like abut it except no floyd rose,and i think with me it will survive many years to come.
Value
As i said before this is a very great guitar for the price and if you have the money to bye it you should but dont listen to me,go check it out for yourself.
Manufacturer Support

"Best V under $1000 ever!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This is one of the best guitars I've ever played. The only guitars that were better cost around $1500-$2000 and I'm not really rich. If someon ever stole this, they would be hunted down and tortured to death. This guitar is that awesome.
Sound
The sound is phenominal. This is as close as getting a $1000 guitar as you could get for under $500 (got mine for $400). The bidge PU is amazing for distortion and the neck PU can put out some really good clean tunes...if you really want to play this like that.
Features
I miss having 24 frets. You get used to it after a while though. Surprisingly, the bolt-on neck has pretty good sustain.
Ease of Use
The neck is super fast! The rosewood feels almost silky like ebony but for much less cost. The action came super low when I got it.
Quality
Jacksons are simply the best. The tuners are really good. I've only had to tune it twice in the month I've had it.
Value
This is worth it. I'd pay $700 for the quality of this guitar. Luckily, I got mine for less.
Manufacturer Support
Can't really say. I haven't needed it because this guitar is so cool!
The Wow Factor
Vs are just plain cool. The gold hardware looks outstanding and isn't that cheapie stuff that flakes off. The gold pinstripes add a nice little effect to the appeal too.

"amazing"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
all I have to say is, this one will last me a long time. I might even give it to my son one day.
Sound
This guitar has by far some of the best sound for metal or rock, I love the pick-ups. I don't have to use nearly as many pedals to get the sound I want from this guitar either. Really excellent
Features
I liked all the features, great guitar, the only two things I changed was I swaped my strings for some Dimebag DR heavy gauge strings, and I changed my finish to a red and black tiger stripe finish.
Ease of Use
smooth neck, and durible machine head. The only thing that might feel strange is the shape, but that takes almost no time to get used to.
Quality
really great durability. Everything about it is just so reliable.
Value
great guitar for the price, I would say, this was one of my best buys.
Manufacturer Support
I called support to tell them how kickass this guitar is.

"How'd they they fit so much metal into such a small object ?"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Going up against a guitar that cost about a $1000 I'd rate this guitar to be 9.2 , but if have another 1/2 grand laying around for .8 points id say get something else . Most musicians usually don't have that option though . So for the cost id say an easy 10.0 .
Sound
The Duncans undulate pure,raw,flawless,tone.I use a 120w Crate GLX 212 and it sounds incredible . It takes distortion like its nothing , the pick-ups give a tight clean sound , not sloppy what-so-ever so it gives you a great soloing sound , however you can also pound out those heavy crushing rhythms also .
Features
Unlike most Jacksons , this guitar doesn't have a trem, which is specifically why i bought it. Some see the lack of tremolo is a down fall, however , in my opinion ,I prefer the string thru body much better.
Ease of Use
The action is great, the neck is extremely comfortable . The Jackson v style my seem awkward to sit with , but you get used to it, if you even do sit .
Quality
Quality - exceptional . The only thing I've noticed is that one of the pick-ups is a little bit loose which effects nothing, but other than that , nothing .
Value
Worth the money by far....
Manufacturer Support
No idea really , like most people say " haven't needed it yet ".
The Wow Factor
This guitar has an awesome metal look. This axe has some serious 'tude . " I love gggooooolllllddd "
