Excelent quality, I don't know why people are so shamed by Fender taking over, I beleive they were purchased from AKAI, a Japanese company, and now are owned by Fender USA, an American company still utilizing most of the original employees anyway...go figure

High quality for a production guitars, only outdone by ESP Japan

was poorly setup, but having driven it from Vegas to cali, It would have been out of whack by the humidity differences/ altitude changes anyway.

I had to file 2 of the outer edges of 2 of the frets because on a downward bend, the string would catch onto them, very poor fret finish work

sure, Id use this guitar w/o backup, as long as the trem was blocked, break a string on the floyd , and you're screwed with only 1 guitar.

Its definetley a Clydesdale of electric, I imagine you could take this baby to war and it'll come home sweeter than ever

they're a bit overpriced at the custom paint level, face it, most of the custom jobbers are silkscreened anyway(flame/skulls), so why ream the little guy for another 4-500 bucks for that?!?

sure,I guess I would buy another, but I wouldnt be lost without it either.

The only thing I really hate about it is the damn "jumbo" frets it came with are nowhere near jumbo like on my usa BC Rich, and ESP guitars, maybe they just did it to mine, but for THE assault rifle of guitars, these things are way sub-par

24 frets neck thru body floyd rose tremolo 1 volume 1 tone and a 3 way sharkfin inlay sh2 and tb4 seymour duncan humbuckers

if you wanna spend money on a guitar you will never regret buy a neck-thru Jackson ... wether it be a RR1, RR5, RR24, KV2, KV5FR, KE3, KE5FR, WR3, SL1, SL2, SL3MG, SLSMG,or any other neckthru you will probably cherish it as i have with my 6 Jacksons

Better quality than a $5-6000 Gibson imo
