This is the Jackson Special Edition JS22-7 DKA-M 7 string electric guitar. Why special edition? Well, I believe it's only sold at Musician's Friend & Guitar Center.

This is the cheapest 7 string electric guitar money can buy. How'd Jackson do it? I don't know, man, they just said to themselves "let's sell an affordable 7 string" and then they made it happen. Twice actually, since they have two similar but different models.
Usually they're around $200 but I got this one for $150 on sale.
Before I started Art of Shred I had the other cheap JS22-7, the DKA HT model. I liked that one, but the pickups were muddy. The pickups on this one are also kinda muddy, but you know what I'm gonna do? Mess with some EQ and see if I can get more clarity out of them for when I officially review this guitar.
Anyway, how'd this one do? Out of the box were there any sharp or high frets? What do I immediately like? What don't I like? Watch the video!

Nice Vid and cool 7 string guitar! Thanks for showing us and congrats on the score man!
My first guitar was a 6 string Jackson JS32 dinky with a tune-O-matic bridge. This video reminded me of the first time seeing it sometime back in 2013, the flamed maple veneer was beautiful for something I paid under $200 cad for. I had to sell it a few years back, I wish I still had it.
First impression is very good, it's nicely made and a very good mod-upgrade chassis too. This would normally sell at $3-400, don't you think? But all the builders have a lot of excess inventory and 7-strings are probably not in high demand. Maybe a few folks will add a nice basic 7-string to the collection for variety while they're cheap. $150 for this Jackson is a great deal.
DK - dinky body
Nice for the money 👍
Put a Nazgul, Hipshot bridge, pots and tuners. Sounds great. Night and Day.
in the same price category there's harley benton baritone 7-string, which is far superior (not the pickups, they are mediocre too), but kids nowadays pay for the sticker on the headstock. Arch top, locking tuners, neck through body, satin finish, string through, baritone (better tension). graphite nut.. so yeah
These guitars are usually hit or miss. I got 1 of the early models and went through 2 of them before finding a decent one. They had QC issues mainly the bridge being placed wrong. Fast forward 2024 I sold that jackson long ago and got a 2024 model and same issue. The bridge was placed wrong so I ended up returning that and getting a different one. But gotta say for what you pay for these guitars are solid once you get a good one. One of the things thats somewhat better is the nut, the early models used a very cheap soft plastic one but these newer nuts are somewhat better.
Why not start on a 7 string, you have to go to learning process on both, and you have a regular 6 string underneath the lowest string.
