New Jacksons






Good news for the budget wary among us, who are oblivious to the economic crunch & wanting an affordable Jackson, badly- the JS series are now available at Swee Lee. For convenience sake, I've put up all black units for this update but be informed that there are other selections to choose from (natural/ white/ etc- please enquire with Swee Lee) .

How much: $856 (list, for all models)
Made in: India

Q: It's the lowest Jackson series in the manufacturer's catalogue, so why bother?
A: The upper end guitars are not exclusively better in whole, I've come across many great units which are actually entry-level models, Smash & LTD Series 50 offerings, among others.

Q: Made in India = lousy, yes?
A: Lousy guitars are made everywhere, nothing to do with the country of origin, everything to do with QC.

Q: Any recommendations, then?
A: I tried all the models listed above, my pick in terms of great playability, tone & QC would be the JS20 Dinky & JS30WR.

PS: One of these models above would be added to my collection. Watch this space (come tomorrow)...
