- Took awhile to get around to editing this video and uploading it. Life just got busy lately. How I came to love Jackson guitars and me showing my current collection.
Please keep the comments respectful. I will delete comments that are rude or ignorant.
Jackson is absolutely adorable
Alexi laiho dropped them as shit.
@@sergeyfrolov2439 Jeff Hanneman ,too
Made in China crap now
🤣 adorable 🤷🏻♀️!?
@@sergeyfrolov2439 They have been for awhile 90's and before they were great
Jackson is also my favorite. My first guitar was a used dinky js11. It was in fair condition so it was $100. Jackson’s low end guitars are awesome and play well despite its low price. I recently got a Js32 Rhoads in ivory white. It sounds really good.
You're right, I have two Jacksons, a Dinky Arch Top JS34 DKS Silver Burst and a Dinky Arch Top JS22-7 DKA HT. The JS34 was $330 and the JS22-7 was $200. Despite the price, the guitars play and sound great, surprisingly well in fact, and the build quality would surprise you. No fret buzz, no sharp frets, matter of fact both have rounded frets and just altogether a well built guitar and great platform for modding. Yes, they don't feel as premium as my ESP, but I would recommend these guitars to anyone. I've always been a fan of the look of Jackson guitars, but now that I know I love to play them as well, I'm definitely looking at X Series and Pro Series.
I bought as JS22 to learn on and it's been fantastic. I played bass for a long time and wanted to pick something back up and decided on guitar for a change of pace. It needed a setup and some good strings but I love this thing.
@@briancooke5532 yes Jackson never disappoints. Everything from the looks to the quality are top notch for the price
@@DanPellegrino486 yea I’m glad my first guitar was a Jackson too. So far I have not had any problems with them so far. After 5 years I still play with the Jackson Js11
Thanks for all the comments and new subscriptions. I will have a review on my Pro SL7 coming up within the next week or so.
I got a king V about 2 months ago. Bought it from Sweetwater. I love it, it’s my first Jackson guitar and I play it every single day. Jackson to me is iconic when it comes to metal bands and there’s nothing like a king V
Picked up a soloist a few years ago and never looked back. The lack of a block where the neck meets the body just feels better than most anything I've ever picked up.
I also started in '90....also had a lab named Jackson...and I'm also all about Jackson guitars!
Got a Charvel "Avenger"(Rhoads)...just a couple months before they came out with the cheap Jacksons, at half the $$$.
1st Jackson was a Fusion pro....then a Rhoads pro (neck through, prototype for MiJ line...pearl white w/ blk bevels)...then a Kelly...USA KingV....Demmel KV....another Rhoads.
Still got em all!
Jackson guitars really speak to me. the overall quality of their products is great. They may be owned by Fender nowadays, but they still offer quality guitars in every price range. I own 3 jacksons, my first is a red Jackson Kelly JS series. Budget guitar, but it has all the essentials right and after a few mods its a beast. I also have a rhoads minion and a Star body.
I just got my first Jackson. JS32 natural wood. It’s great! I put An old Bill Lawrence L500xl Bill and Becky pickup in it and it is a beast.
Jackson guitars are my favorite guitars too. Very nice guitar collection you have 🥰🥰❤😉😊👍
I picked up a Schecter C1 Hellraiser, and man, I believe the C1 has a masterful design. It's like all the best of a Gibson les Paul and an Ibanez combined. That's my favorite brand.
I Seriously almost chose a Schecter (demon i think?)... OVER a Jackson soloist one day......because the Paintjob was SOOO fucking killer. But the Jackson was more the style for my hands.
@@94SexyStang owned a Dk2m with blackouts a long time ago. Was a badass guitar. Very durable and good feeling. I like the compound radius they incorporate.
@@deadspeak1126 I think you guys got to check out the Schecter C-7 FR SLS Elite, that’s the guitar I’m buying as my first electric and first seven string. Can’t wait to be oozed by quality. I’ve heard that guitar beats other guitars that cost $2,500 even, and, it only costs $1,260. Schecter is incredible value and is killing it these days. :)
My Dad got me a Schecter C1 Classic at a small town pawn shop. He knew nothing about guitars. The Pawn shop guy was one of my Dad’s students in high school and he recommended the Schecter. He made Dad a hell of a deal. $200 for the guitar and a fender practice amp. It’s a great guitar! Rock, metal, blues. It sounds great for all. Dad passed away last year, so the guitar means everything to me.
I just ordered my first Jackson guitar. A wood colored Soloist. Can’t wait until it arrives!!🤗🤗
Schecter and Jackson, Marshall JCM2000 and ADA MP1. I’m so proud of my stuff!!
I’m extremely happy the one you always wanted is the USA Rhoads!! My favorite guitar player and guitar I always wanted since I was 10 years old I worked my ass off for it.
I have a low end Jackson JS22 archtop and love the thing, has such a warm great tone, absolutely love everything about it. Yes Jacksons have one purpose in life, to rock and they do that job very well.
Same for me w the influences. Also loved Megadeth Rust line up. Remember Marty playing RR hard tail and also a Firebird as well, before really locking into the Kelly.
Anthrax had so many rad Jacksons.
Criss Oliva and his Charvel Predator also so cool!!
Great video!
A dog and cool guitars are a great life! Thank you 🙏 Greetings 🖖 from England. I have a few Jackson’s a King V Japanese model with the rusty bolts graphic on top.
I recently got the same bass that you have. The quality, the sound, the looks and the balance of the instrument is top notch! Jackson makes great guitars.
the real MVP here is the doggo - Jackson..what a cute dog and has such a nice shiny fur! Also YEAAAHHH JACKKSOOON GUITARS!!!!
I hear you on Jackson! I'm knocking out my classic guitar dream list I got left to get (2 Les Paul Customs- 1 vintage yellow white- one black, 1 Les Paul Goldtop) before I start on my modern guitar gear list (a black Jackson USA Randy Rhoads RR1, a black USA Jackson King V, a white and gold Randy Rhoads RR3 V, a black Scott Ian Jackson V, a black USA Jackson Soloist, a Jake E Lee Charvel, a black Aria Pro SB- 1000 ii, a black Jackson Dave Ellefson bass 4 and 5 string). I too was 13 back in '90 and have dreamt of these guitars since then, and now have finally gotten to a place in life to where I can finally buy my dream gear. I do have a black Gibson SG Standard, a black Gibson V (converting to a Kirk Hammett Gibson V clone), a sunburst Les Paul Standard, USA Fender Strat, USA Fender Tele, a Grestch Tim Armstrong, an orange Gretsch Electromatic with Bigsby, a Kirk Hammett Ouijia copy, a Fender Hellcat Checkerboard Tim Armstrong Acoustic, 3 USA Fender p basses (one white, 2 black) a Fender Duff Mcagan p-j bass, a Gibson Thunderbird, and a ESP Surveyor Bass with Frank Bello EMG's. A Marshall half stack, Ampeg SVT amp with 4x10 cab, Fender Rumble bass amp, tons of pedals, a Pearl Drumset. Other gear on my list 2 get are a Fender Steve Harris bass- blue, a Geezer Butler bass, a USA Jackson Adrian Smith, a USA Music Man bass, USA Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe (like Geddy Lee), Gibson J45 acoustic, a USA Martin Acoustic, a black Gibson Explorer, a Sunburst Gibson Firebird, and building a Mick Mars and a Dave Murray Strat, and build a Steve Vai "Jack Butler" Jackson guitar from the movie Crossroads. I get inspired and excited seeing other folks collections. I don't have hardly anyone to gear talk with in MS, so this is where I get alot of input. God forbid trying to find folk to play classic punk rock or Old School Thrash anywhere here. They all wanna play either Skynyrd or some 3rd rate Nickelback. At least one good thing getting older is finally being able to get a good guitar- gear collection going. Just takes some $$$
I have a 1990 mij fusion pro in desert crackle with chainsaw case. I am trying to decide to sell it or keep it.
@@SHREDTILLDEAD I'd say keep it! Then you collect other guitars to go with it. I know soon as I sell all my Gibsons and Fenders to get some shredders I'll regret not having my gear....so I'm trying to have both classics plus shredders one day. Keep that thing man! Unless your gonna add some cash with what you sell to upgrade it to US made. You got such a killer collection!
@@SHREDTILLDEAD I do finally got a Jackson X Concert Bass "Jackson-backer in orange on layaway. Not a 6 string but my first ever Jackson. My next Jackson gonna be a Scott Ian V or a USA RR1T. Both in black....then 1 day a USA Solist in black too. Love your vid and I keep coming back to it
You're the kind of neighbor I'd like to have hahahaha. Amazing taste when it comes to guitars.
You talk Just the way i talk, about my guitars and the history behind them etc. Freaking love the rawness of this footage and the honesty. +1, cant wait to binge your vids !
Children are children, humans, the better of us all. ... guitars are tools of a trade brotha. In all relevant terms, it’s a hammer
I'm about to get my first Jackson next weekend, a 1990 japanese neck-thru Soloist Pro, and was looking for content on older Jackson guitars when stumbled upon your video. Beautiful collection, dude. And you got one of my absolute favorite metal guitars of all time: the RR24, absolute gorgeous, a dream of mine to own some day. Cheers \m/
Thanks dood. I really gotta do a new follow up video. My collection grew more in 2 years.
Never forget playing my first Jackson. Like everyone else I said "Damn.... nice neck" I think it was a Japan DK2 model. Went home and found a USA DK-1 for sale about 50 miles away. $1200 and I was the proud owner.
Great Vid. Nice to see someone who has a passion for Jackson guitars
I have 2 Jacksons and i can't get enough of them, great vid!
Love my '87 MIJ Charvel model 6. Jackson are great guitars.
I love Jackson guitars. I picked up my first Jackson about a month ago. It's a JS32 Dinky. I picked it up a week after I bought an LTD H50. I loved the Jackson so much I sold the LTD and bought another JS32 Dinky which is the natural oil finish model. Now I don't even touch my other guitars much. I want to get more Jackson guitars. My next one will probably be the Rhoads model. To top it off it made me fall in love with Floyd Rose bridges all over again so the Rhoads model needs to have one. My dream guitar is Chris Broderick's signature soloist model.
Hahahaha now that is dedication yea dinkys are the best especially when u mod and stuff pickups the natural oil is a nice one my dinky got invader bridge awesome js22 and play drop A lol I mostly play death metal thrash stuff and soloing as well everything is all stock. The tuners are pretty good dont know why pple hate em
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and guitars. I enjoyed every minute of it. God I love that white one so much.
Best video in a while ive watched
I just ordered myself a Pro RR in Snow White and I am so excited to get it.
Love my Jacksons. All 10 of them. Japanese models to present. Never disappointed. I have 2 Kelly's, 4 soloists, 3 dinkys, 1 stealth. Looking to add a v to the collection. All are flawless! Jackson!!!!!!
you have too much, think of the poor why dont you? you didnt need 10...you couldda bought 2 guitars and donated the rest of the money to the poor
@@shanemartin8904 really. That's your opinion. It's called a collection for a reason. And they all get played!!!!
@@tippss3332 Why dont you sell some, peoples is hungry. How amny can you play at 1 time?
Hey man. Really nice Video. Verry nice story too and I really love Jackson Guitars too. Specialy the RR1 . Nice guitars you have man🤘. I own A Soloist Professional Pro Japanese made in the 90s, A King V KVXMG,A King V Pro series and my last purchase and my favorite the Jackson Matt Tuck Rhaods.
The next I Wanna get is the RR1 UsA.
Keep on man
Cheers from Germany🤘
I share the same longtime love of Jackson guitars. Just picked up a Japanese made Rhoads RR5FR. My ultimate goal is a custom USA made Kelly.
I own multiple King V's, and RR models, and they're all SAVAGE BEASTS. I LOVE EM. Jackson guitars, with Gibson PAF pickups, for me, is just the ultimate combination.
If you’re open to suggestions, you might want to consider looking out for a Japan DK2S Jackson dinky with the Sustainiac system on the used market. Though it can be “gimmicky” when used poorly, with good technique it is undoubtedly one of the most tonally versatile axes I own.
I love that Jackson. Upgraded it with stainless steel frets, Gotoh bridge and Floyd Rose nut to extend service life.
@@nafis6668 Awesome! When I got mine the previous owner had done a horrendous relic job all over it! So as I am a professional cabinetmaker/luthier, I stripped it down, took 1/8” off the face and then glue on a new book matched Curly Maple 1/8” Drop top to mine and finished it in trans-dark blue. Looks great with the black hardware! But yeah…always thinking about upgrading it: namely the bridge to German Floyd original and maybe a different middle pickup with a bit more thickness to it…
Wow, blue curly maple is my favourite finish. Usually look like the ocean. i might love to see it 😁. The nut screw hole width is different than the Floyd Rose R3 nut, so I send it to mod shop to get it done properly. I love the sustainiac because i do not need to crank so much gain for sustain. Hence i retaining my desired tone and articulation ☺️
Great video dude! I clicked for the random jackson stuff, but i love the "tidbits" of rock history! Its some of my favorite history and it needs to be remembered!
I have 3 Jackson’s currently but have own a few others previously. I absolutely love Jackson’s. I’m glad I was able to learn a bit about their history with this video. Thank you.
Hi Paulo, you already have a great collection of Jacksons, Respect. Now a Warrior would fit well to it. It is well balanced when standing up. Of course, it also looks totally hot. It is also very comfortable to play while sitting. Maybe you can get one for a good price. Cheers.
I will actually be filming an updated video of my collection soon as this video is closer to 2 years ago.
dude what a great video! I'm so jelous :D Only thing missing was showing all them together
You've got me by 3 years. For me it was Andreas Kisser. I got my first RR3 in 97.
I have Gibsons, Fenders, Ibanezes, a Kramer and now a Jackson. Originally I was looking at some older Charvels but somehow a specific Jackson attracted me. The Kramer I have is a Pacer with SD JD/ Jazz pickups, both humbuckers and an Ibanez Jem with Evolutions with a single coil between the humbuckers. I was never a fan of Flying Vs or Explorers so wanted a Strat shape as most "Super Strats" were in the 80s. But now I wanted a pickup combo of ONE humbucker and two single coils. I narrowed it down to a Jackson Soloist or Dinky. I tried one of the new "crackle" finished Jacksons with the S/S/H combo but it was made in China. What crap! The neck had NO taper. Had the weirdest feel. The pickups had ratty and thin distortion. I really wanted a Soloist with the neck thru body as the best ones are USA made. The bolt on Dinkys were cheap! Then I snagged a Japanese Dinky in some blue Deiss finish with an SD Distortion and two SD Single Coils. After lots of adjusting its simply my fave 80s poser guitar! Rock on Jackson!
Just got my first (7 string multiscale) and the neck is unbelievable to play.
I wish I could afford an RR1 (or whatever is the equivalent with fixed bridge, bound neck and the little scratchplate down with the controls knobs) one day. I totally share your liking and enthusiasm for this brand of guitars.
Got my first Jackson this year, a orange Jackson-Backer bass. Plus just ordered a black Charvel Model 6 and put a Jackson Adrian Smith on layaway. Next Jackson Guitars gonna be a black RR1T and a black Scott Ian V
I just got myself a Jeff Loomis Signature Series "Jackson Kelly" made in Korea, and I have to say the guitar is pretty amazing, the only thing is his signature series pickups are "Seymour Duncan blackouts", I mean they pick up every little thing and I had to put foam in the back of the trem springs for the tremolo because they ring through the pickups as well. Easy problem to fix, there's no need to buy new noiseless Springs just a thin piece of foam behind the Springs did the job, it comes with a Floyd rose 1500. The only difference between the Floyd 1000 and the 1500 is stainless steel pins and lock nut screws. Beat the hell out of it and stays in tune great though. Oh... no case or gig bag so i had to get a hardshell case for it. For that price it should come with a case. Other than that the guitar is pretty amazing $1,599 and yes that is the most I've ever spent on a jackson through the many years I've played them. I always Frankenstein them out, new trem, new pickups so on. Can't afford the usa model. It's a all around solid guitar though for anyone thinking about it. Great craftsmanship too. The white binding around the ash top body/neck is really well done. Going to stick with the black out pickups for now, but may change to black winters, or EMG'S. Yet to decide lol.
My cat's name is Boogie. Nice Jackson collection. Those old ones are sick, I got a couple.
Beautiful collection mate.
I'm a Jackson lover as well. Bought my first custom Soloist in 84. I only play USA models or CS. I really want a Phil Collen archtop
Bought my first Jackson at 49 years old I don't know why I waited so long awesome guitars
I owned a JS32T Rhoads but sold it to my bandmate who loves jacksons too. I am eyeing off an RRX24 rhoads neckthru atm. Just thinking if I should pull the trigger on it...Life is busy and I want so many things lol.
Your collection is awesome.
Keep shredding.
The black n red looks great
I saw Randy Rhoads in '81 when I was 15, and that got me on the Jackson/Charvel kick. I've had some really nice ones over the years, but my dream Jacksons would be an '83-'85 white Randy Rhoads Custom and a Soloist Custom (w/Floyd) serial number range from J1700 or RR1700 or under (the last of the San Dimas in '85 are around the 1800 range).
Regards 🎸
That's freaking awesome, you lucky son of a gun! I own 2 Charvels. Played a few Jacksons, but don't own one, currently. They both make amazing guitars.
Man I used to have a Kelly in the late 90s. When I was 19 I had to pawn it because I needed some cash and was never able to get it back and lost it to the pawn shop. I miss that guitar 😢
Gave a kid one of my Jackson's it was an import but a great build hope he dug it.
Great video. I like the neck of Jacksons guitars.
Jackson is my favorite brand. its awesome and thats it.
I managed to buy a black RR1 with Blackouts in mint condition on Ebay about 9 years ago for $1,400; boy I was lucky as I see they are super expensive now.
Love the vid and of course your Jacksons! My Soloist is perfection.
Nice collection bro, I love my Jackson too it plays from country to metal with no problems.
Nice Jackson rules! I have a Mexican DK 24 as well and love it.
I liked you vid. I too am a Jackson lover. I love Charvel too. I have 7 Jacksons , ones a custom shop. I ordered a Kelly QXE during the pandemic and when it came the box was smashed the string under the damage was snapped off right the bridge. I wasn't thrilled. There was no damage to the guitar the packing worked. Loosened that string put it back in the bridge tuned it up and hated it!!!. I was disappointed. Was gonna send it back when my son said set it up the way you like before you return it. It had 12s on it.... So changed those to 9s tweeked the neck lowered the action .... it is the BEST guitar I've ever played or owned. AND its Indonesian. I am shocked at how much i love that guitar. Its beautiful , sounds awesome plays like butter. It is the best.
I just got my first one , and loving it
I love the PC_1 and Phil Collen mods especially the archtops .
Let's you support so Jackson knocks on your door, begging you to me partner!
Your content is awesome
Keep going
Nice video and its cool you did some guitarist history. I'm about to get my very first Jackson. Its a Black and Gold RR24x. The seller upgraded the pickups to gold EMG 81 and 85 Actives. All the hardware is gold. Tuners, Floyd Rose bridge, volume/tone rockers and the pickups. I'll have a blast and start doing divebombs
I Love Jackson Myself!
I’m 2 years younger than you so I remember all the same stuff! Pre-Fender Jackson Ruled! The Jackson Mick Thompson is a Great Guitar as far an newer Jackson go!
I Have a Limited run Jackson Slat7 that blows my mind!
I, too, have always wanted a Randy Rhoads guitar, just got my first one! Now I want another. I love the black and red one you have with the single bridge p/u, sweet!!!!
All the artists u mentioned are great, I'd add Adrian Smith from Maiden tho... I love his style and always wanted a white with black pickguard like his back in the 80's
I own over 100 guitars, my 4 Jacksons are my favorites. Something special about that neck.......
I love Jackson guitars as well but since early 00 they've gotten prohibitively more and more expensive. I remember scouting used SL2H's for $1000-1500 on ebay around 2005 when I was in high school and couldn't afford them. Now that I can there is barely anything below $2500 mark and we have to pay nearly $1000 for Indonesian models. I would even pay that much for Japanese model but the Indonesian models are nowhere near that built quality. Prices are stupid and unfortunately nowadays the only guitars that are worth buying are those internet brands made in Korean factories or used deals. That's the only way to get your money worth.
edit: right now indonesian X-series is more expensive than Japanese Pro-series in 2005. That's just sad.
don't ever buy overseas jackson nothing against the chinese but they can't build gutiars
to me guitar maker needs to give a fuck about the wood and how they al come together and jackson builders achieve that very goal
that and of course wood and hardware so it's a combination of a bunch of things
@@dclxvi4963 They make guitars according to whatever companies pay them. If the guitar costs pennies then there is no wonder it's not great. I'm ok with Indonesian made ones however they are too expensive IMO.
$2500 isn't that much if you think an SL1 was retailing at $1800ish in 88.
Damn man, I wish I had just one of those v, I always been a Jackson guy and I have a dinky but these new Jackson's are pissing many customers off. Those are authentic. 👍💯
They are also pleasing many customers, so it goes both ways just like with any brand!
Dude same. All the bands I loved as a kid were Jackson bands. And the Jackson I loved the most was Jeff Hanneman's Punk Rock Jackson that's in the War Ensemble video
Definitely a nice collection man i also love jackson guitars i can't afford the usa guitars but i have a nice king v with EMGS a RR black and red like the one you showed but with EMGS as well a soloist slx with EMGS and the slattxmg which is a beast so great guitars thanks a lot for the info
Your riffs and solos remind me Annihilator's Jeff Waters stuff. Sounds really cool.
I own several really awesome Jacksons too. One of them is one of a kind Jackson Soloist made by Mike Shannon (with Kahler trem), then an old Archtop Soloist (old type of top curve and neck heel shape), an SL2HMah, DK1, and a KV2 made of Korina.
Thank you! No one ever compares me and my music to anyone usually and Mr. Waters Wow!
The awesome collection! I bought soloist sl2
My introduction to Jackson guitars was seeing Chris Holmes on the W.A.S.P. Videos.
I found an rr1 with the lighting finish a few years ago, great neck!
Love the black with the red
I've always wanted a 1992 rr1 , been wanting 1 since they came out! I love old jacksons & the handmade bc rich's. I suppose I should just make one lol .
Killer collection!
dude james with a white king v looks so sick... like his OGV i mean now hes almost more synonymous with a explorer body type but i wish he stayed with Vs, i personally LOVE king v style vs mostly cause like what u said dave is a huge influence but i also like the rounded gibson style cause of james, michael schenker, Hendrix had that cool love drops 60s v
i recently got daves signature Kramer Vanguard which is pretty much a King V but Kramer (kramer being my favourite guitar brand other then gibson) i was all over it and its the sick green rust in peace colour way , 24 fret 25.5 scale length (which gibson never does lol)
U should get a Jackson warrior now as part of your collection.🙌🏻
I also own about 40 Charvel/Jackson guitars and they're all are like my kids. Guess I'm a bit older than you but other than that I feel like I'm watching a video of me speaking about Jackson guitars.
I've owned Jackson, Ibanez, Schecter, Agile, and Jackson has always been my favorite. My first guitar ever was a Rhodes V. It was 300 bucks made in Indonesia, and that guitar still rocks.
Thinking about getting a USA silver sparkle king V. I currently have 4 Jacksons that I usw
Haha I just ordered the same spectra
Right on, i have 4 Jackson's so far (three X-SERIES Randy Rhoads emg 81/85, kV7 blackouts, Warrior, nazgul/sentient & a 1990's dinky stock pups) even the mid range guitars i own are some of the best i've ever played, fast necks and the floyd rose special's rarely goes out of tune, they look great and the quality is 2nd to none ..4 guitars i will keep for life :)
Nice arsenal !! 🤘
New subscriber from the UK! - while its mostly acoustic fingerpicking & unplugged gigs on me meagre channel, I LIVE for metal, and after a few years of homelessness am at last in my own studio... With a fabulous collection of distortion and ESP / LTD. i really ejoyed the autrhentic content... Your love of metal shines thru, brother
Good stuff! I have the same music experiences. Started playing at a young age as well.
My next guitar is going to be a US Jackson. I'm saving up for it. My first ever guitar was a jackson performer series from 2005, and it's still one of the best guitars I have. A US jackson is my dream axe.
Kirk played fender stratocaster, jackson, Gibson,esp, Aria pro. He always flipped around.
Fernandez too
The black and red bevel Rhoads is fucking awesome! Like a Kevin Bond almost without the lame inlays
I've only got 2 Jacksons, one is the Dinky Rev.. very good shape very nice axe, the other is very similar but is the model with the blade style hummer in the bridge position, great shape, love em both, almost charvelish but do have their own feel, imma say early 90's perhaps? Mikey likes him a Jackson, wants a star, and an older pro USA non thru
nicee mannn , love the kelly. absolutely need a USA Model . . have a 97 eerie dess swirl mij / usa jackson 1991 custom soloist (Steve via design =super rare)( / 1997 jackson ke3 kelly pro mij / 1996 RR V in blue swirl mij / 2002 kelly pro in eerie dess swirl .. .
My next one must be a USA Kelly in Eerie dess swirl... saw one for 3k on ebay but i think ill let the market change a bit the next year or so ,..
I Bought a jackson totally unplanned, i loved it
i bought a Jackson guitar in 1998..... and until this day i think that was the best sound i ever had, no kidding !!!
I own an Adrianne Smith USA, SL1, SL2 and KV2. I love Jackson guitars. One more thing, white guitars sound much better than black ones, I was told that Jackson uses tone paint for the white models lol.😁
I always liked Scott Ian's "NOT" RR Jackson. Jackson guitars ended up being my favorite guitar. Not sure why I just like how they feel and they have the best looking headstocks.
Hi, enjoyable to watch. Never handled the Jacksons, would you consider it good choice for other styles than metal? Classic rock, bluesrock, punk, hardrock? Or is it just a dedicated shred machine :)
That's the beauty of guitars! Play what you want on them. Sure they're great for metal, but you can play other stuff, too. Great quality, for the most part.
My first guitar was a 2004 yamaha that my dad got me at Sam's club. My first jackson was a 2006 js30rr. It was fucking sweet and good quality. The body was alder and neck rosewood and it was supposed to be a budget guitar but I still have it and cherish it. I finally accomplished my goal back in 2020 of getting a 97 rr3 that was made in Japan. I love it but it needs alot of work. The licensed floyed is worn and the stock pickups and wiring have seen better days. I have very recent jackson guitars as well such as js32 dinky with a fake floyd and a js32 king V that is string through. For budgets they are not the cream of the crop in quality but for the price they definitely get the job done. But I will never pay more than 500 for that quality.
I purchased a slightly damaged (cosmetic only) Adrian Smith Jackson USA. Hands down one of the finest musical instruments I ever purchased from anywhere. At the time, About 7 years ago, it was 1700 dollars US. Haha couldnt touch a broken one for that price now. Clean tone, I mean it nails a solid fender Strat in the neck and middle positions and shreds with its Dimarzio super distortion in the bridge. Combined with a 5150 head and marshal cab, I am pretty cleanly able to get most 80s and early 90 rock sounds from all the classics with it. Beautiful fret board with its abalone (I think thats how its spelled) pearl inlays and a truly one of a kind satin neck. I have two other Jacksons, a RR3 and a SL2Q( that frankly doesnt sound all that impressive) though my RR3 still maintains excellent tone on clean and with overdrive. Over the last couple of years I have started looking into another Jackson and was astounded at the price increase. Unbelievable cost now, thanks to the all the ridiculous politics of the state of California. 4 grand to touch a USA and they dont even offer the RR1 anymore. I have considered doing a custom but oh my gosh the price of a Jackson now is just stupid. They are on the verge of loosing me as a customer if they dont move and find somewhere to manufacture.
Thanks for the info, I just checked and ya, Jackson no longer offers the RR1 Select. I agree the pricing has gotten so ridiculous and possibly why they have more coming out of Japan now.
@@paulorageshreds arent they manufacturing their pro and x lines in indonesia? It my understanding that the japanese factory was destroyed in that earth quake years ago and they werent able to re-establish manufacturing there.
They have started producing out of Japan again. Not sure if a new factory or the old factory up and running again.
They have their new Concept series and MJ that are made in Japan. X and Pro are mostly Indonesia but some are apparently made in China. I was surprised by some Chinese made Pros reported here on RUclips. Part of the reason I started steering away from Jackson. And likely why high resell on used models now too
