Well...
...I don't like them because that body scuplting is horrible, the neck and fretboard feel and look like arse, the hardware looks and feels cheap, the headstock is gash, my 10 year old sister could design a better one and the whole range screams 'NU-METAL'. Like Ibanez, the range of colours is limted to a maximum of 2, blue or black....and then darker blue or black.
And don't get me started on the controls!
To me, for a relativley new brand, the stock guitars have cr@ppy value for money, everyone I've spoke to about them praises them on the fact that I could throw a set of SD's, DM's or BKP's in there and play like a god...
Tbh, If I did that I'd spend around £500 on a sub-par (to me) axe, then say, I put a calibrated set of Miracle Men in it (another £170) thats £670 in total on something that I'm not entirely happy with.
I think, at the end of the day, I'll buy the Jackson, rip out and sell the JB and then stick a Nailbomb or something that will compliment the SD Hotrails in the neck and middle positions (ie, thick and high output!). I've gone off the PGM as the guitar seems like too much of a niche, why not have the Jackson and block off the bridge if I want to? Plus, I already have a guitar that it practically a hardtail with a maple board (my strat). And the Jackson comes in more colours, colour IS important!
Andy!
