A belated conclusion to this episode but a conclusion nevertheless. The JS12 underwent a pickup swap. The rail type humbuckers you see here are Artec pickups. These are very affordable & they are quite singular in offering; good for distortion. The cleans here are as good as those default ceramic Jackson pickups to begin with. I went with this pair due to its rich harmonic content which can be rather excessive especially if you wish for unobtrusive solos in the neck position.
So we conclude this episode of a forgotten guitar brought back to life. It's not a perfect reincarnation but a deserving one for something largely unplayed with minimum wear. On this note, the Jackson JS12 is my recommended guitar (despite being a firm Ibanez fan) for those of us looking for something affordable but not shabby with lots of potential for greatness along the way. In fact, the JS12 doesn't feel like an entry level Jackson considering how well these are constructed & put together. Of course, the default tuners remain its Achilles heel when it comes to wholesome gratification.
