I had played guitar years ago and decided to pick it up again. I bought a cheaper guitar and it was difficult to play because of the action.Decided to upgrade after just a week of the other one. WOW! This thing is awesome. The seller, Liberty Music, setup the guitar before shipping it out and it is just amazing. It included a signed checklist for all of the things inspected and adjusted. I used to have a PRS, and I swear the action on the Jackson is just as good.Big bonus - Liberty Music included lots of goodies! A hat, plenty of picks and probably some stuff I'm forgetting.It was very well packaged, especially compared to the cheaper guitar I had recently ordered. Lots of bubble wrap and an external box.My only complaint is that the bubble wrap left some weird little round spots on the front. A little elbow grease and it's gorgeous.Moral of the story; spend a little bit more and get a lot more.

Well packaged and all it needed was a tune right out of the box. Then it was ready to go. It plays really nice and it's got that old school metal sound, look and feel that I was after. A really nice guitar for a good price.

I'm not a regular player so I don't need a Fender - or a Cali/Mex professional Jackson. It feels like Fenders I have played - although that's been a very long time ago. I like it better than my old Gibson Les Paul . I live mostly in Central America and I know of Jackson as it was a primary for a lot of "Southern" bands. (that sung Spanish haha). This will be my daily driver when I'm in the States which is not a lot. If I like it enough I might buy one for the other place.

Fue un “regalo” para mi hijo que afortunadamente sabe de guitarras. Era lo que quería y está satisfecho con la compra, pero no es nada más de afinarla de los tornillos y ya. Está muy bonita.

It is my first floating locking tremolo Floyd rose style and it does very well at keeping in tune. Unless you add a stabilizer though, you have to pull up a little after a dive to get it to reseat. I think even the original Floyd roses do that, not just these licensed versions. It was easy to learn on YouTube how to set it up but I did have experience setting up my hardtail bridges. I would say it's the perfect entry level Floyd rose style. I might upgrade to actual Floyd rose some day and upgrade the pickups to be hotter and more metal. I wouldn't recommend for a complete beginner because of the bridge system. But buy it used like new if you have the opportunity and you won't be disappointed.. It was brand new in the box. Plastic still on the the pickups and headstock. Original box and all accessories. Used like new is basically new. I signed up for Amazon credit and got this for 116 bucks after shipping with the discount so I am very happy with the purchase and have enough left over to maybe get a strat or a tele. Sweet. JS32 was a great choice. I love the neck. Almost like bare wood so smooth. I want a 7 string hardtail version.

Ordered 2, 1 for my Son & 1 for me. These are great beginner or intermediate guitars. Although they are an excellent value, they are also made in China and could have slight imperfections that nobody else will notice but the owner. After several conversations with the seller, we did decide to send one of the two back. The seller was very good in communication and very understanding. I was very skeptical to buy a guitar online & have it shipped. But they both arrived in perfect condition, well packed & boxed with form fitted foam & double boxed. Im no longer worried about shipping a guitar this way. If your on the fence about shipping a guitar, rest assured it will be well protected and pull the trigger. These are actually very well made guitars & worth the money. You wont find a better price on guitar with a licensed Floyd Rose Tremolo, and it is staying in tune. My Son is an advanced player & decided his was just not beneficial to him with a few minor imperfections his had. I was tempted at keeping his, but it made no sense in having 2 identical guitars. If your looking to to start playing guitar you cant go wrong with a Jackson Dinky, especially at this price. To top it off, this seller shipped these fast & in the best way possible without a hard case. They were also very understanding in the one being returned. I have been playing mine for a couple weeks now and really like it. Very happy overall with everything. You want to learn to play guitar at a low cost, this is the one for you.

The JS series may be cheap but the quality is there. Machine made with few minor flaws. Glad I got open box specials.

If you decide to go with the "Used Like New" option from Instrumentpro, this may be useful to know-Visually, the guitar was brand new, no scratches, plastic was still over the pickups, manufacturers tag still on the headstock, etc. However, the volume pot was really stiff, so I suspected an issue, so I plugged it in and sure enough there was no output.I was putting in Duncan Invaders and I had some old pots laying around, so I went to work. Found the hot side of the volume was grounded out internally and after swapping it, installing the Invader, and setting the action, it sounds really dope and plays great.Note: the pot shafts needed are the longer ones. So, if you need to replace yours, don't try to use the shorter ones unless you want to deepen your cutout.Was it worth it? Hellz yeah. Around $100 less for the "used" one, which paid for the bridge pickup, and seriously, if you're swapping humbuckers, you usually want to put better pots and a cap in anyway.Very comfortable to play even though Jackson's necks are a little rounder than what I'm used to with Ibanez and ESP, but the tone is straight sick and sounds really aggressive and "tight".At the current rate of inflation, buy one now, spend a few bucks on upgraded hardware, and own a really great guitar at a budget price point.
